“There are sort of three main ways that our species has developed to break down foods, or process foods, in a primordial 1 way. And that is by cooking,by fermenting 2 foods and by drying them or desiccating them.”


我们人类有三种分解食物或处理食物的主要的原始的方法。即,通过烹饪、发酵食物还有将食物进行干燥或者脱水处理。

保罗·布雷思琳是美国罗格斯大学的营养科学教授。同时也是费城莫奈尔化学科学中心的一员。


“And the first two, cooking and fermenting, are older than our species is. Homo sapiens came about in the presence of fire. And probably eating some fermented 5 foods, since that happens spontaneously.”


“前两种方式烹饪以及发酵食物的历史比人类还要悠久。火的产生早于人类的产生。可能也吃一些发酵的食物,这发生是非常自然的。”


Breslin spoke 6 February 20th at a press briefing at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement 7 of Science in Boston.


2月20日,在波斯顿举行的美国科学促进会年度会议的新闻发布会上布鲁斯林发表了上述言论。


“So I think that we may be unique among the apes in that we can detect when a food has been cooked or fermented. And that this allows us to identify the benefits of those, which is that they’re detoxified, they have greater available nutrients 8, and they are, in the case of fermented foods, going to have probiotics—or good microbes that we want and need in our intestines 9 in order to survive in the world.…


“我认为人类在猿类当中是特殊的,因为我们可以识别食物何时烹饪或者发酵。这又可以让我们获悉这些方法的好处,那就是这些方法可以帮助解毒,具有更高的可用营养价值。发酵食物,里面会含有益生菌——为了能存活与世,我们的肠道需要这种有益的微生物。”


“The second leading cause of death of children on Earth today is diarrhea, following pneumonia 10, which is number one. And that diarrheal disease is in fact the most common disease on Earth in humans. And that eating fermented foods, properly fermented foods of any kind, can in fact deliver probiotics, which help prevent these diseases. And I believe could in fact save lives if they were more commonly adopted in society.”


当今世界上儿童死亡的第二大原因是痢疾,而肺炎是首要原因。实际上痢疾是世界上最常见的疾病。食发酵食物,适当的发酵食物,实际上可以产生益生菌,帮助预防痢疾。我认为,如果这些方法可以在社会上更加广泛的应用,那么可以拯救生命。
