無意看到電視，有位營養師在介紹合桃的好處，她說：「合桃合有高omega 3不飽和脂肪酸，有抗炎、抗癌既功能…..」其實，世上仍未有什麼可以抗癌的東西；當然，HPV疫苗可有效預防HPV16及18感染，從而預防子宮頸癌…… 我們極其量只可以一些食物可能減低患癌的風險……

Melatonin has become more and more popular, but how it should be taken to get a good night's sleep?

- First, remember that Melatonin may help you fall asleep sooner; but it will not necessary help you sleep longer.

- Generally speaking, Melatonin should be taken an hour before bedtime to help you fall asleep.

- A range of doses have been used in successful clinical trials, but keep in mind that Melatonin is a hormone! So, it is wise to first see if a low dose works for you.

- You should always consult a pharmacist or doctor before starting to use Melatonin, regarding dosage and cautions.

市面上有形形式式、不同種類的口服水解骨膠原產品，每一種都聲稱能去皺、增加皮膚彈力等等……究竟，應怎樣選擇？首先，為什麼是'水解骨膠原'？而不是骨膠原呢？因為骨膠原要經過水解處理，才能被身體吸收。一般來說，口服水解骨膠原的原料是來自牛、豬或魚，盡量選擇原料來自魚的產品; 另外，盡量選擇配方內含維他命C的產品，因為身體是需要維他命C，才可以生產骨膠原; 此外，有一系列的研究都指出，要口服水解骨膠原產生作用，每天至少要服用某一定份量，如果你正在使用的水解骨膠原每服只含一、二百或幾百毫克的骨膠原，恐怕不足夠。如有興趣了解更多如何選擇口服水解骨膠原產品的資料，可聯絡我們 ([email protected])。

看到一些自稱為健康或有機食品公司刊登的廣告，售賣"健康零食"，當中包括一些有機軟糖、有機水果糖等的東西……作為醫療衛生工作者，我們有責任向大眾指出; 世界衛生組織(WHO)在2015年3月提出的新指引，成人及兒童每日攝入的游離糖量, 應為其每日攝入的總能量10%以下; 而進一步降至低於5%(大約6茶匙)更可獲得額外的健康益處！換句話說，攝入越少的游離糖(free sugar)就對健康越好！其實很多我們進食的加工食物都含有'隱藏糖分'，例如, 一湯匙的茄汁就已含有大約一茶匙的糖。最後，有機的加工食品並不代表是健康的食物，一切都要看食物的營養標籤; 如有疑問，應請教合資格的營養師。[[email protected]]
