新奇事件簿 科学家发现健康披萨新做法

Food scientists and dieticians have found new ways to make pizza that is good for you. This is very welcome news for overweight pizza lovers and those who worry about their weight. Researchers in the USA looked at different ways of baking the pizza base. The team from Maryland University discovered that leaving pizza dough¹ in the oven for a longer time made it healthier to eat. They said that doubling the amount of baking time increased the levels of antioxidants in the mix by up to 100 percent. Antioxidants help fight cancer and heart disease and are found in most healthy food. Furthermore, the team experimented with different cooking temperatures. Their results showed a higher heat also made the dough healthier to eat.

食品科学家和营养师发现了制作健康披萨的新方法。对于那些体重超重的披萨爱好者和那些担心体重的人来说，这是一个好消息。美国研究人员研究了烘制披萨饼底的各种方法。来自马里兰大学的团队发现，披萨生面团在烤箱里烘烤的时间长一点能让披萨更加健康。他们说烘烤时间加倍能让面团中抗氧化剂的比例增加100%。抗氧化剂在大多数健康食物都有，它能够帮助治疗癌症和心脏病。此外，这个团队还试验着以不同的温度烹饪披萨。他们的结果显示，较高的温度也会让批萨吃起来更健康。

This new research may help pizza sales around the world. However, some diet experts warned that even though this research looks good, it is still better to eat fruit and vegetables. In addition, pizza that is baked longer may not be so healthy if people choose unhealthy toppings. Jacqui Lowdon, a British diet expert, warned that although the pizza base might be good for you, people might be “more likely to choose extra cheese”. She added: "This isn't teaching people about healthy eating." Nevertheless, the study’s author, Jeffrey Moore, said his findings were good for people who like deep-pan pizzas. Meanwhile, outside London’s Pizza Hut today, pizza fan Jo Lambert said: "This new pizza sounds healthy, although not if we have too much or have cola and fries with it.”

这项新研究有助于提高披萨在全球的销量。但是，一些营养家警示，虽然这个研究看起来不错，但吃一些水果和蔬菜会更好一点。另外，如果人们选择了不健康的配料，披萨烘烤时间变长也不会那么健康。英国膳食专家Jacqui Lowdon提醒说，即使披萨饼底可能会对你的健康有好处，人们也许会更喜欢吃披萨饼外的奶酪。她还说: “这并不是在教人们健康饮食”。然而，这项研究的作者Jeffrey Moore说，他的发现对于深盘披萨爱好者有好处。同时，今天在伦敦一家必胜客的外面，披萨粉丝Jo Lambert说：“如果不是混着太多的可乐和炸薯条一起食用的话，这个新披萨听上去挺健康的。”
