新的研究表明,菜单上的卡路里标签可能恶化饮食失调症。 Calorie labels on menus may worsen eating disorders, new study suggests.

餐厅菜单上的卡路里标签,旨在防治肥胖症,可能会加剧饮食紊乱症。 Calorie labels on restaurant menus, meant to combat obesity, may worsen eating disorders. 一项BMJ公共卫生研究发现,有饮食紊乱症的人改变了自己的行为,避开餐馆,过分注重卡路里数。 A BMJ Public Health study found that people with eating disorders changed their behavior, avoiding restaurants and focusing excessively on calorie counts. 研究人员分析了16项研究,并要求对标签对饮食紊乱的影响进行更多的研究。 Researchers analyzed 16 studies and called for more research on the labels' impact on eating disorders. 尽管这些标签对一般民众没有重大影响,但它们可以强化那些已经与无序饮食挣扎的人的有害行为。 While the labels have no significant effect on the general population, they can reinforce harmful behaviors in those already struggling with disordered eating.
