Red wine is bad for your health, experts reveal in a new report.

相关专家发布的最新报告显示，红酒有害健康。

In a u-turn, Government experts have dismissed the supposed health benefits of wine and are set to rewrite the rule book on the nation's alcohol consumption, according to reports.

报道引述英国政府内部专家的话称，红酒并不像大家此前认为的那样对健康有益，事实情况恰恰相反。这些专家正打算修订英国有关酒精摄入量的指导标准。

A landmark¹ report by Chief Medical Officer Dame² Sally Davies will destroy the long-held belief that red wine can cut the risk of cancer, heart disease and memory loss when drunk in moderation, the Sun reported.

据英国《太阳报》报道，这份必将影响深远的报告源自首席医疗官莎莉·戴维斯女爵。该报告将彻底推翻人们长期以来秉持的一个观念——适度饮红酒可降低患上癌症、心脏病和失忆症的风险。

In the first overhaul³ of alcohol guidelines for two decades, doctors will reportedly warn that there is no "safe" level of alcohol consumption and drinking just a small amount may in fact increase the risk of some cancers.

这将是二十年来饮酒指南的首次大逆转。报道称，医生将在新的饮酒指南中告诫民众：没有所谓的饮酒量“安全线”，小酌也可能增加患上某些癌症的风险。

A source said: "The report will send a clear signal that the dangers of drinking are far more than previously⁴ thought."

一名消息人士称，该报告将释放一个明确的信号：饮酒危害远远超过人们此前的想象。

The review was launched in 2012 and its findings are expected to reflect the latest research that links even occasional alcohol consumption to health problems in later life.

此次对酒精危害的重新评估始于2012年，其评估结果将与近期的其他研究结果呼应。其他研究也认为，偶尔饮酒也可能引发未来的健康问题。

The Government currently advises men do not drink more than three to four units per day - up to 21 units or less per week - while women should drink no more than two to three units a day, or 14 units per week.

英国政府目前的建议是：男性每天饮酒不宜超过三至四个酒精单位，每周饮酒量应低于21个酒精单位；女性每天饮酒不宜超过两至三个酒精单位，每周饮酒量应低于14个酒精单位。

Under the new guidelines the gender⁵ difference will be thrown out and drinkers will be to keep off the booze for at least two days a week in order to allow their livers to recover.

而新的饮酒指南则认为：无论男女，饮酒者每周至少要有两天远离酒精, 使受伤的肝脏得以恢复。

A recent study by University College London found patients who gave up for four weeks saw benefits for their liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol⁶ levels and were also at lower risk of developing diabetes⁷ and liver disease.

伦敦大学学院近期的一项研究显示，病人戒酒四周后，其肝功能、血压和胆固醇水平都有所好转；而且，病人患糖尿病和肝脏疾病的风险也降低了。

And a report by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence⁸ (Nice) advised middle-aged⁹ people there is "no safe level of alcohol consumption".

英国国家卫生医疗质量标准署在其发布的报告中向中年人发出忠告：饮酒量没有“安全线”。

It says the same health benefits can be more easily achieved with exercise and healthy eating.

该报告称，你想通过饮酒获得的所谓益处，其实可以轻松地通过锻炼和健康饮食实现。
