Eggs will raise your cholesterol, and other myths.
　　Avoid eggs. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Eating carbs will make you fat. Nutritional（1） advice such as this has been touted（2） for years —— but is it accurate?
　　别吃鸡蛋；一天喝八杯水；碳化物会让你变胖；多年来这些营养建议受到大肆宣传，但是它们可靠么？
　　Not necessarily, according to Wendy Repovich, an exercise physiologist（3） at Eastern Washington University, who did her best to dispel several common nutrition misconceptions（4） during a health and fitness summit held recently in Dallas.
  J  |+ @) r6 ^' u) S5 e　　东华盛顿大学运动生理学家Wendy Repovich称根本没有必要。最近在达拉斯一次健康健美峰会上她极力否定几个普遍传播的营养误区。
4 l- m* e8 K, k- a8 l　　"Eating eggs will raise your cholesterol（5）." This myth started because egg yolks（6） have the most concentrated amount of cholesterol in any food, Repovich said. However, when eaten in moderation, eggs do not contain enough cholesterol to pose health risks, she said.
- f9 R4 r0 y. N' t9 ~; W　　Repovich说：“吃鸡蛋会增加胆固醇的说法源自鸡蛋比其他食物含有更高浓度的胆固醇，但是适量食用不会对健康造成威胁。”
/ ]6 g: w, H" T! V　　"Most people avoid eggs and probably if they have any kind of cardiovascular（7） risk their physicians tell them to avoid eggs," Repovich said. "But really, there aren't a whole lot of studies that show that one or two eggs a day really make a difference to cholesterol levels."
' T9 W, R- Q8 g0 _　　“很多人不吃鸡蛋，或许如果他们有心血管疾病隐患，他们的医生建议他们远离鸡蛋。但事实上，目前没有足够的研究证明每天1-2个鸡蛋会影响体内胆固醇水平。”
& @- P8 g" c4 _' G5 l- {　　"Eating carbohydrates（8） makes you fat" is another myth. Cutting carbs from the diet may help a person shed pounds due to water loss from a decrease in carbohydrate stores, Repovich said, but eating carbs in moderation does not directly lead to weight gain.
" |' {2 ?# T; {2 @( s+ g8 B　　“吃碳水化合物会引发肥胖也是一个误区。不吃碳水化合物可以减少体内水分含量，以此造成体重减轻。但是适量摄入碳水化合物并不能直接导致体重增加。”
3 h0 \1 k0 Q% R2 i　　Here's another myth. "Drink 8 glasses of water a day." Repovich said people need to replace water lost through breathing, urinating, sweating each day —— but that doesn't necessarily total 64 ounces of water.
