Green tea is one of those things that’s really healthy for you, but its health benefits have been greatly exaggerated; one of the things which has been consistently reported about green tea is that it helps you lose weight, but scientists didn’t know how (or if) this happens. Now, a team from Poland believe they’ve zeroed in on this mystery: it’s all about the starch. 绿茶是一种对健康有好处的东西，但是它对健康的益处被夸大了；绿茶一直被报道的好处之一就是它有助于减肥，但科学家并不知道它如何（或是否）有助于减肥。现在，来自波兰的一个团队认为他们已经解开了这个谜团：关键就在于淀粉。 Jaroslaw Walkowiak of Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland, found that a single dose of green tea extract made people digest less starch and eliminate more of it. He gave people the equivalent of drinking a few cups of green tea every day after they had breakfast. 波兰波兹南医科大学的雅罗斯瓦夫•瓦尔科维亚克发现单剂量的绿茶提取物可以使人减少淀粉消化量，增多淀粉排出量。每天早饭后，他给人们等同于几杯绿茶含量的提取物。 “Green tea is known worldwide for its beneficial effects on human health,” the researchers write in the journal Scientific Reports. “However, objective data evaluating this influence in humans is scarce.” 研究人员在《科技报告》上写道：“绿茶因对健康有好处而闻名世界，然而，仍缺乏评估它对人体影响的客观数据。” |
