“吃鱼的女士更漂亮,吃鱼的男士更健壮,吃鱼的孩童更聪明,吃鱼的民族更兴旺”。乍一听,似乎太夸张;其实,仔细考虑这种提法并不过分。英国脑营养化学研究所的克罗夫特教授就曾在他所著的《原动力》一书中发表了“吃鱼可使头脑聪明”的论断,这个论断的主要依据是,鱼类中含有大量的DHA(二十二碳六烯酸),而大脑的发育不可缺少DHA。他的研究结果还表明:“经常吃鱼的日本儿童比以肉食为主的欧美儿童智商高”。英国自古以来就认为鱼类可使人聪明,中国民间也普遍认为吃鱼有健脑的作用。这些古老民间的说法,而今已被克罗夫特教授的科学成果所验证。 “Women who eat fish are more beautiful, men who eat fish are more robust, children who eat fish are smarter, and people who eat fish are more prosperous.” At first glance, it seems too exaggerated; in fact, careful consideration of this formulation is not excessive. Professor Croft of the Institute of Brain Nutritional Chemistry in the UK published a treatise on eating fish that makes the brain clever in his book, The Impetus, which is based on the fact that fish contain a large amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and the development of the brain indispensable DHA. His findings also show that “Japanese children who eat fish regularly have higher IQs than European and American children who use predatory meat.” Since ancient times, the United Kingdom believes that fish can make people smart, and Chinese people generally think that eating fish has a brain-healthy effect. These ancient civilizations have now been validated by the scientific achievements of Professor Croft.
