Youve probably been told a million ties to eat fruits and vegetables. 你可能已经知道吃蔬菜和水果的一百万种连系了。 If you live in the united States, it probably makes you thinks of apples, bananas and carrots. 如果你住在美国,你可能会想到苹果、香蕉和胡萝卜。It can be boring to eat the same produce day after day.日复一日的吃同样的东西会很乏味。 Fortunately , grocery stores have grown a lot more exciting lately. 幸运的是,最近食品店已经有更多好吃的了。 Shoppers can now buy fruits and fruit juices filled with the flavors of rainforests, distant mountainsides, and tropical islands. 购物者现在能买到充满热带雨林,远的山腹和热带岛屿滋味的水果和果汁。Many of these fruits are also used as ingredients in a variety of food products. 这其中有很多水果在各种各样的食物产品中也被当作成分使用。 In the United States some magazine articles and health food supporters say that the fruits in some of these products will fight cancer, treat heart disease, strengthen the immune system and help people live longer, and bring other benefits. 美国一些杂志文章和健康食物支持者说,这些产品中的水果能抗癌,治疗心脏病,增强免疫能力,延长人们的寿命,还能带来其他的好处。 Based on such idea these natural products have been called “superfruits”. In 2007, Americans spent tens of millions of dollars on dietary supplements and foods containing super-fruits. From 2006 to 2007, sale of these super-fruits proved to be outstanding. 基于这个观点,这些天然产品已经叫做 " 超级水果".在 2007 年,美国人花费了数千万元在食物补充品上和包含超级水果的食物上。从 2006 到 2007, 这些超级水果的销售证明是杰出的。 But are these super-fruits really better for you than apples and oranges? Companies that add super-fruits to their products are funding studies that aim to establish how healthful they are. But many independent nutritionists are skeptical that these foods have extra nutritional value. The only thing that is really special about them, they argue, may be their price. Due to the long distances they must travel to reach U. S, kitchens, these fruits usually cost considerably more than local produce. 但是对你来说,这些超级水果真的比苹果和柳橙好吗?把超级水果加入到他们产品中的公司正在赞助一些研究项目,这些项目的目的旨在证明他们的产品是多么有益健康。但是许多独立的营养学家怀疑这些食物有额外的营养价值。他们争论说唯一的特点可能是它们的价格。由于他们要经过很远的路程才能到达美国和美国的厨房,这些水果通常比当地的农产品贵得多也在情理之中了。Right now, there is no science that these super-fruits are connected with better health, as some scientists say. It doesnt mean the companies are wrong. The fact is that there is not proof that they are right. 目前,正如有些科学家所说,这些超级水果与更好的健康相联系还没有科学依据。这并不表示这些公司是错的。事实是没有证据表明他们是对的。
