Hop compound boosts brain function - but you'd need to drink 3,500 PINTS a day 啤酒能让你更聪明吗?啤酒花中所含的化学物质能刺激大脑功能-前提是每天喝3500品脱。 Beer, or at least one of its ingredients, could boost brain function, a new study has found. 啤酒或者至少啤酒的一个成分能提高大脑功能。 But a leisurely pint is unlikely to have any intellectual benefit, because a person would need to drink the equivalent of 3,520 pints (2,000 litres) a day to stand any chance of boosting their cognitive abilities. 但是，如果仅仅是全为消遣而喝下的一品托啤酒是不会起到任何智力上的增强作用的。一个人一天起码要喝下相当于3250品脱（2000升）的啤酒才有可能使大脑的认知能力得到增强。 Researchers demonstrated that xanthohumol – a type of flavonoid found in hops and beer - improved cognitive function in young mice. 研究者证明xanthohumol——一种在啤酒花和啤酒中发现的类黄酮——能够改善年轻的小老鼠认知功能。 Flavonoids are compounds found in plants that often give them their colour and scientists have been studying them in blueberries, dark chocolate and red wine to uncover any potential benefits that could help fight cancer and heart disease, for example. 类黄酮是一种常见于植物自身着色用的化合物，科学家正在研究蓝莓，黑巧克力和红酒中所含的类黄酮以揭秘类黄酮对于治疗癌症，心血管类疾病等的潜在效益。 |
