　　For years, we have been hearing about what we should and should not eat in order to maintain our health. Whether it is the latest fad diet or new foods to avoid, knowing what and how much we should be putting in our bodies can be downrightconfusing. One of the biggest controversies is over red meat, which has gotten a bad name in recent years. _(1)_ A team from the Barwon Psychiatric Research Unit at Deakin University in Australia has been looking at how the quantity of red meat in a woman's diet can affect the likelihood of her being depressed oranxious. 
　　_(2)_ The weekly suggestion is three to four lean palm-sized pieces of beef or lamb. _(3)_ More interesting findings were made during the study; specificallythe women's socioeconomic status, physical activity level, smoking, weight, and age did change the results of the study. _(4)_ The team warns those trying to follow healthy diets to pay close attention to the beef and lamb they buy. In Australia, cattle and sheep feed mostly on grass, which produces leaner meat with higher levels of nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids. _(5)_ Overall, women can try to eat red meat in moderation to keep themselves away from depression.

(A) What they found was that women who ate less than the weekly suggestedamount of red meat were twice as likely to experience depression and anxiety.
(B) In other places like the US, however, cattle and sheep are kept on feedlots and are fed grain-based diets resulting in high levels of saturated fats and fewer healthy ones.
(C) However, new studies are showing that red meat plays an important role in women's mental health.
(D) Additionally, other protein sources such as pork, chicken, and fish had no effect on the women's mental health.
(E) The study also went on to show that women who ate more than thisrecommended amount had large increases in depression and anxiety as well.

紅肉和憂鬱症
驚人的新研究顯示出紅肉和憂鬱症之間的關聯。
　　多年來，我們一直聽到為了要維持健康，我們該吃什麼和不該吃什麼。不論是那些最新流行的飲食或最新公佈所該避免攝取的食物，要了解該吃什麼及把多少的量吃進體內這些事都令人感到十分困惑。其中最大的爭議之一就是針對紅肉，紅肉在近年來聲名狼籍。然而，新的研究顯示紅肉對女性的心理健康扮演重要的角色。來自澳洲迪肯大學巴望精神病學的一組研究團隊一直以來都在研究女性飲食中紅肉的攝取量會如何影響她們憂鬱或是焦慮的可能性。
　　他們發現，每週食用紅肉數量低於建議量的女性發生憂鬱症或焦慮症的可能性是食用建議量女性的兩倍。每週建議食用量是 3 至 4 片手掌大小的瘦牛肉或羊肉。該研究接著也顯示，食用超過建議量的女性發生憂鬱症和焦慮症的可能性也會大幅增加。該研究過程中還有更多有趣的調查結果，特別是女性社會經濟地位、身體活動程度、抽煙、體重和年紀都會改變研究結果。另外，其他蛋白質來源像是豬肉、雞肉和魚肉對女性的心理健康則沒有影響。該團隊提出警告，那些想要遵循健康飲食的人要密切注意他們所買的牛肉和羊肉。在澳洲，牛羊大都是在草地上餵養，如此會生產出含有較多營養物及 omega-3 脂肪酸的瘦肉。然而，在其他像是美國等地，牛羊被養在飼養場內，且被餵食穀物為主的食物，因而產生較多飽和脂肪及較少的健康脂肪。總的來說，女性可以試著適量攝取紅肉來遠離憂鬱症。
