Sugar Is the New Public Health Enemy
糖类成为新健康公敌
On Thursday, the U.S. government issued a new version of its dietary guidelines, which include the new, concrete recommendation that people receive less than 10 percent of their daily calorie intake from added sugar.
本周四，美国政府发布了新版膳食指南，其中新增了对人们日常添加糖摄入量不超过每日卡路里10%的建议。
This is far more specific than the 2010 edition of the guidelines, which simply said to “reduce the intake of calories … from added sugars,” with no particular numbers attached. Based on Americans’ increasing sugar intake over the past few decades, a more concrete goal might be helpful—between 1977 and 2010, Americans’ consumption of added sugars went up by 30 percent, according to the Obesity Society.
这项建议比2010年的版本更加明确，2010版只是简单地说咨询QQ、微信：2544906旦对含糖饮料征税之后，2014年的含糖饮料消费量下降了12%。
Legislating sugar is a strategy that’s popped up in the U.S. as well—Berkeley, California, was the first U.S. city to implement a soda tax in March 2015. But no word yet on whether Berkeley residents are any closer than the rest of the country to meeting the new dietary guidelines.
立法征税也是在美国突然出现的一种策略。加州的伯克利在2015年3月开始对苏打饮料征税，在美国境内算首例。但是没有消息表明伯克利市民是否比其他城市的居民拥有更符合新版膳食指南的饮食习惯。
