Emma Laing是家族和消费者科学学院的临床教授兼饮食学主任，非常熟悉KIWIS的健康益处。KIWIS是维生素C的良好来源，维生素C（一种支持免疫功能，伤口愈合和吸收的抗氧化剂）。两个绿色猕猴桃或一个Sungold猕猴桃足以满足大多数成年人的每日维生素C建议。 According to experts, kiwis are safe to eat every day, and the fruit could replace the need for vitamin C supplementation.“If people like the taste of kiwis or are curious about incorporating them into their diet, they shouldn’t hesitate to regularly eat them, unless they have an allergy,” Laing said.There isn’t much known benefit to overloading on vitamin C. Once a person’s tissues are saturated with the vitamin, their cells won’t retain it,吸收降低。“肾脏可以将任何多余的维生素C排除到细胞不使用的尿液中，” Laing说。 “每天食用每天的维生素C超过您身体所需的补充，没有健康的益处，因为额外的任何东西都会无用，并且实际上将被冲下厕所。”猕猴桃含有维生素C以外的营养素，提供补充剂的益处，为单独提供的补充而无法提供。她说。
