Butter is bad for you—so is margarine（人造黄油）．Coffee raises blood pressure, but may protect against cancer．Alcohol is okay, but only if it's wine．The confusing studies on what is safe to eat and drink are enough to make it impossible for anyone to understand what "good food" is．

Take the margarine-butter debate for example．Studies that linked fat—found mostly in animal products such as meat and butter—with cancer and heart disease sent millions rushing to buy margarine．But then another study found that people who ate a lot of margarine also had high levels of heart disease．For those who have a firm faith in science, this seems to be the end of the world．

But many doctors point out that their advice has never been conflicting．For years, and in various countries, they have recommended eating less fat．

People in western countries such as Britain and the United States get about 40 percent of their calories from fat．Doctors say this should be around 30 or even 25 percent,

"We must try to reduce total fat," said Dr．Robert Richardson of the University of Edinburgh, who has been studying the effects of fat on human health for years．

"We need to go to more such food as bread, in particular brown bread, and more fruit and vegetables．"

Fresh produce may not be so safe, either．Last month the British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating, while many Americans briefly avoided apples because of fears over an insect killing chemical．

But Dr．Arnold, a British scientist, said any risk of such poisoning would be outweighed by the costs of not eating plant foods．

"On balance, if you were to put both risks against each other, the advice has to be eating as much fruit and vegetable daily as possible," she said．

In general, doctors conclude, variety truly is the best policy．"The general advice is pretty much the same advice that doctors have been talking about for a long time—a varied diet, a mixture of foods and not too much of any one," Arnold said．

Doctors say anger can be extremely damaging, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can possibly lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and cancer.

       Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time, some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing(抑制) anger.

       For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. in general the person feels excited and ready to act.

       Some doctors point out that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be likely to develop heart diseases, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

       Doctors claim the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. _____________________________, they say, “Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

       Doctors note that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.
