Experts agree with Zhang Wuben that it is ignorant to say that drinking yogurt blocks blood vessels. 20101412: 26 What food is the hottest in life? I'm afraid it must be mung bean soup and long eggplant. Zhang Wuben, the advocate of these foods, is the most popular figure in the domestic health care field at present. There is no panacea in his diet prescription. No matter who opened it, it was white radish, mung bean and long eggplant, and he said that he had cured dozens of common and difficult diseases such as lung cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and pneumonia through repeated use. Zhang Wuben published a book and appeared on TV programs. In his mouth, whether you suffer from myopia, high blood pressure or cancer, "drugstore" is the vegetable market next door to your house, "hospital" is your kitchen, and "prescription" cannot be separated from whole grains. It is said that because of his theory, the price of miscellaneous grains in the market has gone up. The people are even more sought after, and many people even regard his words as an imperial edict. Is it really that simple to treat a disease? Should people believe his story? What is the attitude of experts in various disciplines? Life Times reporters conducted a series of in-depth investigations. Authoritative experts in various disciplines refuted Zhang Wuben's argument. In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Wuben's health care method is low in cost and easy to learn. However, what is this concept of "no medicine" in the eyes of authoritative experts? A few days ago, the reporter of Life Times interviewed experts in traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, hypertension and diabetes, and commented on their main arguments. Argument 1: "Universal" dietotherapy-65438+0 kg mung bean boiled water every day. Among Zhang Wuben's theories, the most famous one is "Mung Bean Theory", which can not only cure myopia, diabetes and hypertension, but also cure tumors. In this regard, Xiang En, a famous old Chinese doctor and chief expert of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital of the Ministry of Health, said helplessly: "It is ridiculous to say that a radish and a pound of mung beans can cure diseases!" Mung bean soup does have the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat and promoting diuresis, but ancient books also record that it will react with the related components of drugs, thus reducing the efficacy. People who are taking various drugs, especially Chinese medicine decoction, must be careful to drink mung bean soup. Can this prescription cure all diseases? Wang Guowei, vice president of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, commented that there are two things people should know. First, Chinese medicine pays attention to treatment based on syndrome differentiation, overall treatment and treatment based on symptoms. Dietotherapy also varies from person to person. Different people have different methods and different seasonal conditioning methods. Second, Chinese medicine has always paid attention to "giving priority to treatment, supplemented by dietotherapy", and it is necessary to be cautious to treat diseases solely by dietotherapy. Argument 2: antihypertensive drugs can cause cerebral infarction and renal failure, and diabetic complications are also eaten by taking medicine. Zhang Wuben said that antihypertensive drugs not only dilate blood vessels and cause cerebral hemorrhage, but also damage the kidneys. Among 65,438+00 dialysis patients, 9.5% were poisoned by drugs, and 8% were the result of long-term medication. Hearing this, Wang Wen, secretary general of China Hypertension Union and chief physician of Cardiology Department of Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said angrily, "This is a statement that there is a complete lack of basic medical knowledge! Once a person suffers from high blood pressure, he may eventually have heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and kidney disease. If you don't take medicine, the risk of these complications is even greater. " Xiang Hongding, director of the Diabetes Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and chairman of the Beijing Diabetes Prevention Association, also said that it is an indisputable fact that many large-scale clinical studies in the United States, Britain and other countries show that correct hypoglycemic, antihypertensive and lipid-lowering treatments are conducive to the prevention and treatment of complications. The positive effects of any mature drug are stronger than its side effects. Diet is very important, but it can't replace the necessary medication. Argument 3: Don't drink yogurt, the thickener inside will block blood vessels. In this regard, Professor Cheng Yiyong, chairman of the China Nutrition Society, retorted that not all yogurts are thickened. To say the least, even if it is used, as long as it is used in accordance with national standards, it will not cause harm to the human body. Moreover, the thickener itself will not cause blood vessel blockage at all, which is very ignorant. "There has been a long-standing understanding in the field of nutrition that yogurt is the most recommended dairy product. It contains high-quality protein and high calcium content, and its nutrition is second only to human milk." Argument 4: Eating raw eggplant is equivalent to taking lipid-lowering drugs, which can not only absorb oil, but also cure blood fat viscosity and tumors. Professor Li Ritter, deputy director of the National Food and Nutrition Advisory Committee and food college of China Agricultural University, said that eggplant is really good for supplementing human dietary fiber, but it is an ordinary vegetable, which is not necessarily better than dark green leafy vegetables in nutrition. Wang Yi, director of dietotherapy and nutrition department of Guang 'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also told the reporter that in Chinese medicine, eating raw eggplant does have certain functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and eggplant extract can lower serum cholesterol. However, this way of eating is not suitable for everyone. Moreover, the intake of people with different constitutions is also particular, and it cannot be generalized. Argument 5: Hypertensive patients should make great efforts to supplement calcium: 3000 mg for women and 4000 mg for men. The recommended intake of calcium in China is 800 mg for adults and 0/000 mg for the elderly. The maximum tolerated dose (UL) of calcium is 2000 mg. "This proposal refers to the already high international standards. Zhang Wuben's prescription is four times the recommended amount. Once you eat too much calcium tablets, it will easily lead to urinary calculi and constipation. " Li Ritter said. Argument 6: How much salt you eat has nothing to do with blood pressure. "Of course! Salt is a risk factor for hypertension. The Survey Report on Nutrition and Health Status of China Residents, involving 200,000 people, shows that China's per capita daily salt intake has reached12g, far exceeding the' safety line' of 6g recommended by the World Health Organization. " Wang Wen told reporters. Argument 7: 80% hypertension and diabetes are misdiagnosed. Wang Wen said that according to domestic and international standards, the diagnosis of these two diseases is very clear, especially hypertension, and the diagnosis is not difficult. "He met an old patient in the outpatient service, believed Zhang Wuben's words, took medicine, and only drank mung bean soup. As a result, his blood pressure went up and he had to go to the hospital to find a doctor. Really harmful! "
