Most physicians know far more about nutrition than they are given credit for. We know there is no such thing as a nutritionally perfect food. We know that variety in foods consumed is the key to good nutrition. We know that good nutrition is an important part of convalescence. We know that obesity in the presence of other risk factors is an added hazard. We know that fortified convenience foods contribute to good health and make life easier for those who prepare meals. We know that the woods are full of food faddists, nutritional charlatans, and peddlers of nutritional nostrums, whose scare tactics and sensationalism often sway the uninformed. Where many of us err is simply in not thinking about nutrition, in not asking our patients about what they eat, and in not counseling them on better nutrition. Thus, I urge you to think nutrition when you think about the health of your patients and yourself, to utilize the services of dietitians and nutritionists, and to speak out clearly and forcefully, but without malice, to combat nutritional and other health nonsense.
大多数医生对营养的了解远比他们所得到的认可要多得多。我们知道不存在营养上完美的食物。我们知道食物摄入的多样性是良好营养的关键。我们知道良好的营养是康复的重要组成部分。我们知道在存在其他风险因素的情况下肥胖是额外的危害。我们知道强化方便食品有助于健康，让做饭的人生活更轻松。我们知道树林里到处都是食物时尚主义者、营养骗子和营养秘方兜售者，他们的恐吓策略和耸人听闻的言论常常会左右那些不知情的人。我们很多人犯错的地方仅仅在于不考虑营养，不询问我们的患者他们吃什么，也不就更好的营养向他们提供建议。因此，我敦促你们在考虑患者和自己的健康时想到营养，利用营养师和营养学家的服务，并清晰有力但不带恶意地大声疾呼，以对抗营养及其他健康方面的谬论。
