6.I Use Fake Sweetener in My Coffee Every Day.Is This Dangerous？
我每天都往咖啡裏加人工合成甜味劑。這對健康有危害嗎？
Answer：
Probably not.Be aware，though，that artificial sweeteners1，including SACCHARIN2 and ASPARTAME3 (Nutura-Sweet)，have faced considerable criticism.In addition，most recently，experts have warned that ACESULFAME POTASSIUM (brand name4：Sunette) may be a cancer-causing agent5.A more natural option： Stevia，an herb widely used in other countries but just becoming available here.One teaspoon6 is as sweet as three cups of sugar yet contains only eight CALORIES.Sold as a dietary supplement，stevia has not yet been reviewed for safety by the FDA7，but no adverse effects have been reported in the more than 500 scientific papers published worldwide.

我每天都往咖啡裏加人工合成甜昧劑。這對健康有危害嗎？
答：
可能不會有太大危害。但要知道，人工合成甜味劑，包括糖精和天冬酰苯丙氨酸甲脂(營養糖)都已受到一定的批評。尤其是最近，專家們警告說ACESUL-FAME POTASSLUM(化學名，商標名為Sunette)可能誘發癌症。更天然的選擇是甜菊糖，一種已在別國廣泛使用，而在此處才剛登台亮相的藥草。一茶匙甜菊糖就和三杯糖一樣甜，卻隻含8卡熱量。這種物質正作為限製飲食的補充品出售。食品及藥物管理局已對其安全性進行了檢查，在世界範圍內印刷出版的500餘份科學論文中也未提及它有什麼副作用。
7.Do I Need a Vitamin Supplement to Stay Healthy？
我需要補充維生素來保持健康嗎？
Answer：
It really depends on your diet and family history of disease.A varied diet that includes lots of low-fat1 dairy products and fresh fruits and vegetables，and reasonable amounts of vegetable oils2，fish and lean meats3 will provide you with most of the VITAMINS you need every day.Unfortunately，weight-loss programs and hectic4 schedules can make it rough for many of us to consistently eat a balanced diet.Moreover，It's particularly difficult for most women to get enough of at least one MINERAL——CALCIUM.Therefore，first of all，It's smart to take a calcium supplement.Second，if you're dieting or don't always get enough fruits and vegetables，add a multivitamin5.And third，if your family has a history of cancer or heart disease，you might try a combination antioxidant6 vitamin( which includes E，C and ETA-CAROTENE7)，since current research indicates that ANTIOXIDANTS may help to prevent these diseases.However，don't go overboard8 about pills.Megadoses9 of fat-soluble10 vitamins like A and D can cause liver damage，and the body gets rid of any excess water-soluble vitamins like C，so more probably isn't better.
