永远都不该喝的饮料

SWEETENED NON-DAIRY MILKS

甜味无脂牛奶

Yes, dairy-free milks are a godsend for lactose-intolerant folks who want their cereal/coffee/cookies with milk. But many flavoured brands are loaded with empty calories, and some contain carrageenan, a thickening agent derived from seaweed that can irritate your digestive system. Smith suggests going for unsweetened plain or vanilla-flavored non-dairy milk that's organic or free of GMOs.

是的，对于想要在燕麦、咖啡和饼干中加入牛奶的乳糖不耐症患者而言，无脂牛奶简直就是他们的福音。但很多添加了味道的牛奶却含有空热量和一些特定的卡拉胶，卡拉胶是从海草中提取出来的增稠剂，会对消化系统造成伤害。

ZERO-CALORIE, ARTIFICIALLY-SWEETENED BEVERAGES

无卡路里、添加人造甜味剂的饮料

If a tasty product seems too good to be true, it probably is: Sweet-tasting sports drinks, iced teas, and sodas that are devoid of calories often contain chemicals, artificial colourings, and artificial sweeteners that may seem to satisfy your sweet tooth, but don't actually fill you up. If this kind of stuff is present (just check the ingredient label), Smith says it can mess with the balance of bacteria in your gut — which plays a big role in weight regulation, according to recent research. To play it safe, drink water and boost the flavour with a squeeze of lemon or some frozen berries.
