缺乏維生素D的危害
Let's return to that issue of vitamins. It's what’s going on Twitter this morning. Would you give your child vitamins under X when they are five? England's chief medical officer says you should, because rickets is on the rise. So let's find out more, from GP Dr. Ali Kallon. Good to see you, Ali, as always. Look. Is this a growing issue?
讓我們回到維生素的問題。這是今天早上社交網站推特上熱議的一個話題。你的孩子不到五歲的時候你會給他服用維生素嗎？英格蘭首席醫務官表示，應該如此，因為佝僂病患病率正在上漲。那么，我們有請Ali Kallon博士。Ali，早上好。這個問題越來越嚴重嗎？
It is, absolutely. I mean certainly in my practice, a vast number of patients, both adults and children, have vitamin D deficiency, which is related to their diet and related to how much time they spend outside. We know vitamin D deficiency causes rickets. It also causes tiredness and bone pain, so it's very, very important.
是的，當然。我的意思是，根據我的經驗，許多病人，無論是成人和兒童，都缺乏維生素，這與飲食和戶外活動時間過少有關。我們知道缺乏維生素D會導致佝僂病，還會造成疲倦和骨骼疼痛，所以，維生素D非常重要。
We've had a huge amount of comments on this this morning, actually. And now a lot of people are saying, like Richard here, feed your child properly is disgraceful, and he says vitamin shouldn't be needed, if we have a better diet. He also makes the point about the cost of, you know, healthy food, things like fruit and vegetables. But, you know, is it right that we're giving our children these tablets when actually their diet should be, giving them everything they need?
實際上我們今天早上收到了許多評論。許多人，比如Richard，都這樣說：這樣喂養孩子是可恥的，他說，如果飲食恰當，根本不需要補充維生素。他還提到蔬菜水果等健康食品的成本。但是，如果飲食能夠給他們提供所需的一切營養，給孩子喂食這種補充片是不是正確的？
I think the first thing to say about vitamin D is that actually you only get 20% from diet, so most of it comes from our sun exposure, which, as we all know, in this country is pretty lacking. Add on top of that sun block and even less, so obviously the use of the sun block is much more widespread than it used to be. Of course, we need to be feeding our children fruit and vegetables and healthy diets, but at the end of the day, children's diet over the last two decades is changed measurably. Children don't eat smaller portions of what their parents eat. They sort of eat child's meals and all these other things. So, you know, we have to acknowledge that.We can't just blame parents as to say, you need to feed your children better. There's huge amounts of child-friendly food around, and this is really marketed towards parents and kids. You can't criticize parents for taking them on.
我認為，關于維生素的第一點是，我們從飲食中只能獲得20%的維生素D，大部分來自陽光照射，眾所周知，在我們的國家陽光照射是嚴重缺乏的。由于使用了防曬霜，陽光照射更少，而且現在防曬霜的使用比以前更為廣泛。當然，我們要給孩子提供水果，蔬菜，健康的飲食。但是最終，過去二十年，孩子的飲食發生了重大變化。孩子們并不是按照父母的飲食等比縮減。他們吃兒童餐等其他東西。所以，你知道，我們必須承認這一點。我們不能一味指責父母，認為他們應該給孩子提供更好的飲食。周圍各種兒童食品琳瑯滿目，都是面向家長和兒童來進行宣傳，狂轟亂炸，你不能指責父母選擇了這些食品。
