缺乏维生素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?
让我们回到维生素的问题。这是今天早上社交网站推特上热议的一个话题。你的孩子不到五岁的时候你会给他服用维生素吗？英格兰首席医务官表示，应该如此，因为佝偻病患病率正在上涨。那么，我们有请Ali Kallon博士。Ali，早上好。这个问题越来越严重吗？
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，当然。我的意思是，根据我的经验，许多病人，无论是成人和儿童，都缺乏维生素，这与饮食和户外活动时间过少有关。我们知道缺乏维生素D会导致佝偻病，还会造成疲倦和骨骼疼痛，所以，维生素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?
实际上我们今天早上收到了许多评论。许多人，比如Richard，都这样说：这样喂养孩子是可耻的，他说，如果饮食恰当，根本不需要补充维生素。他还提到蔬菜水果等健康食品的成本。但是，如果饮食能够给他们提供所需的一切营养，给孩子喂食这种补充片是不是正确的？
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.
我认为，关于维生素的第一点是，我们从饮食中只能获得20%的维生素D，大部分来自阳光照射，众所周知，在我们的国家阳光照射是严重缺乏的。由于使用了防晒霜，阳光照射更少，而且现在防晒霜的使用比以前更为广泛。当然，我们要给孩子提供水果，蔬菜，健康的饮食。但是最终，过去二十年，孩子的饮食发生了重大变化。孩子们并不是按照父母的饮食等比缩减。他们吃儿童餐等其他东西。所以，你知道，我们必须承认这一点。我们不能一味指责父母，认为他们应该给孩子提供更好的饮食。周围各种儿童食品琳琅满目，都是面向家长和儿童来进行宣传，狂轰乱炸，你不能指责父母选择了这些食品。
