In the face of a wide range of health knowledge on the market, who should we listen to? To say that the recent health news has attracted a lot of attention, but unfortunately, just like the medical industry, people are paying more and more attention to health, but the facts have repeatedly failed to live up to the expectations of the public, it is always the negative news that is exposed. From Zhang Wuben eggplant green beans said to collapse, Ma Yueling solid yuan cake health recipe bankruptcy, Li a long disappearance, and then a few years ago the famous Taiwan “detox godfather” Lin Guangchang was finally sentenced to …… just a few months, many of the most popular However, many people still conclude that the reason why these health gurus are exposed is because they are famous and make people red, and do not understand the errors of their theories, which means that the next “Zhang Wuben”, “Liu Tai doctor” appeared. This means that when the next “Zhang Wuben” and “Liu Tai doctor” appear, these people will still be rushing to “white radish” and “hoof tendon soup”. Nowadays, there are various kinds of health information on the market, nutritionists on TV are saying some clichés, Dr. XX is talking about his nutritional philosophy in best-selling books, and there are always people around us with bottles and jars of fish oil, protein powder, natural vitamins telling you how amazing the effect is …… plus various media are constantly looking for some strange ideas to attract attention. The media is constantly looking for some miraculous, innovative “health tips” to attract attention, and invite some eloquent “bricklayer” to explain them, so that you have to be completely brainwashed. Last year, even a nurse nearing retirement in our nutrition department was almost fooled into not drinking milk by Zhang Wuben, which shows how powerful the spread of fallacies is. For ordinary people, the most fundamental point is to improve their scientific literacy. A nutrition expert and Zhang Wuben feet before and after the Hunan TV “Encyclopedia”, she said a listen to Zhang Wuben speech can be judged that this person did not go to college, two did not learn the basic physiological knowledge, but the major TV stations will still be good because of the program and repeatedly invite Zhang Wuben to lectures. I watched an issue of Ma Yueling’s program in a hotel last year at a meeting abroad, and could not watch it anymore in less than ten minutes because it was so full of errors, but there were still people who followed the example of eating raw loach until they ate hepatitis …… You know, the media may deliberately play dumb for ratings, “experts The “experts” may be new and different for the sake of fame, and the authors may be blackmailed for the sake of fees, but we must be strictly responsible for our own health, with a skeptical attitude, and screen the information in the spirit of science. In the end, the people want to know about health is a good thing, in the face of a wide range of health knowledge on the market, who should we listen to? Here are three suggestions for you: ① Look at the person’s current workplace and think about his economic resources. I remember once I saw a decent theory in a newspaper, but when I looked into it, I found that there was no author’s introduction, and the description of the theory on the Internet was similar, and the database was not available in the relevant literature. The work unit of the publisher of the health information can determine whether it has received the drive of certain interest groups, in addition to eliminating this irresponsible phenomenon. There are too many theories on the market now that are actually marketing tactics adopted by certain companies for their products, and sometimes the objective facts that are deliberately “partially concealed” in the “soft ads” are enough to make you draw the wrong conclusions. In contrast, government agencies such as the Ministry of Health, the CDC, the Chinese Nutrition Society and other large academic groups are more neutral, and the experts employed to protect their reputation even if they say “I’m not sure about this” will not jump to conclusions. ② see what professional qualifications or degrees this person has, the direction of research? From which professional bodies or institutions to obtain this qualification? People’s energy is limited, as the saying goes, there are specialties in the field. Zhang Wuben, Ma Yueling these “self-taught” people aside, recently because on Hunan TV by many young women in pursuit of weight loss respected Dr. Ximu, in fact, the profession is economics, this “professional” is not the place and what is the use? Unless it’s like Fang Zhouzi, who spends all day in various professional databases citing literature of counterfeit scholars and popular science writers, it’s impossible for a person to be familiar with all the professional fields. In the United States, most of the famous “health gurus” have the titles of Registered Dietitian (RD) and Doctor of Public Health (PhD). In Taiwan, anyone who has not undergone regular training and examination cannot be called a “dietitian”, otherwise it would be a violation of the “Dietitian Law”, which is why Lin Guangchang is always afraid to call himself a dietitian. Even in the mainland nutrition industry, it is an unwritten rule that food safety experts do not talk about food ingredients, and that experts who do laboratory nutrition testing are not involved in clinical diseases. ③ Does the method claim to have immediate results? Many people may want to think, if these “tricks” are really so effective, what is left in the hospital to do? Modern medicine to prove that a treatment plan is safe and reasonable, effective, often requires a long time, large samples, double-blind randomized controlled trials, the development of evidence-based medicine in recent years is a higher demand for disease treatment strategies. The “partial prescription” of hoof soup often exploits the psychology of people who are greedy for cheap and expect low cost, no side effects and miraculous results. Take the diet, it is generally believed that most of the food alone does not have a therapeutic effect, only a balanced and reasonable dietary structure can provide the material basis for human health, and Zhang Wuben’s flow of 4 kg of green beans, 2 kg of long strips of eggplant, Lin Guangchang to make the price of sweet potatoes crazy “food therapy” is not only unlikely to have an effect, long-term consumption also Easy to lead to a variety of nutrient deficiency diseases, health hazards.
