Anger is good for you，as long as you control it，according to new psychology research．A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier．

    “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger，”said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon．“The more people display anger，the lower their stress responses．’’

    Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6，200．They must say out loud every thirteenth number．Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions．If they made any mistakes，they had to restart from the very beginning．Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry．

    Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear，anger and disgust．

    Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure，pulse and production of a high—stress hormone(荷尔蒙)called cortis01．People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone．Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病)，heart disease，depression and extra weight gain．

    When people feel fear，negative impacts increase, but when they get angry，those negatives go down，according to the study．

    “Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a

 maddening(令人发狂的)situation，”Lerner said．

    Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9／11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident．She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic．These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event．So in maddening situations，anger is not a bad thing to have．It’s a healthier response than fear．

Butter is bad for you—so is margarine（人造黄油）．Coffee raises blood pressure, but may protect against cancer．Alcohol is okay, but only if it's wine．The confusing studies on what is safe to eat and drink are enough to make it impossible for anyone to understand what "good food" is．

Take the margarine-butter debate for example．Studies that linked fat—found mostly in animal products such as meat and butter—with cancer and heart disease sent millions rushing to buy margarine．But then another study found that people who ate a lot of margarine also had high levels of heart disease．For those who have a firm faith in science, this seems to be the end of the world．

But many doctors point out that their advice has never been conflicting．For years, and in various countries, they have recommended eating less fat．

People in western countries such as Britain and the United States get about 40 percent of their calories from fat．Doctors say this should be around 30 or even 25 percent,

"We must try to reduce total fat," said Dr．Robert Richardson of the University of Edinburgh, who has been studying the effects of fat on human health for years．

"We need to go to more such food as bread, in particular brown bread, and more fruit and vegetables．"

Fresh produce may not be so safe, either．Last month the British Government advised consumers to peel their pears before eating, while many Americans briefly avoided apples because of fears over an insect killing chemical．

But Dr．Arnold, a British scientist, said any risk of such poisoning would be outweighed by the costs of not eating plant foods．

"On balance, if you were to put both risks against each other, the advice has to be eating as much fruit and vegetable daily as possible," she said．

In general, doctors conclude, variety truly is the best policy．"The general advice is pretty much the same advice that doctors have been talking about for a long time—a varied diet, a mixture of foods and not too much of any one," Arnold said．

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it properly, according to a new psychology research. The new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier. “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger.” Said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon, “The more people show anger, the lower their stress responses.”

Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every 13^th number. Researchers interfered with（扰乱，妨碍）them by asking them to count faster or asking them other questions. If they made any mistake, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers described their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure and production of high-stress hormone. （荷尔蒙）

People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, depression and weight gain. When people feel fear, negative effects increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening situation, Lerner said.

So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
