Sociological study of lay perspectives on food and their relation to eating behaviour

这项研究表明，营养师对食物和饮食行为的建议与对这些信息的理解和解释之间存在差距。许多研究参与者在他们的乳制品生活中使用了所谓的“健康食品”，并使用了“健康食品”这个词，但他们对健康食品有自己的定义，这与食品和药品中使用的监管定义不同。此外，他们使用健康食品不仅是因为他们认为健康食品对他们的精神或身体状况有好处，还因为他们认为使用健康食品有助于他们与重要的人保持良好的关系。

The study shows that there are the gaps between dietitians' advice on food and dietary behaviours and lay understanding and interpretation of the information. Many study participants used so-called 'health food' and used the word 'health food' in their dairy life, however they had their own definition of health food that is different from the regulatory ones used in food and pharmaceuticals. In addition they used health food not only because they believed it has a benefit to their mental or physical condition but also because they believed the use helps them keep good relationship with their significant others.
