雙語(yǔ)美文：還用玉米油炸薯條

　　French Fries on the Corny Side

　　Ever wonder what your French fries were fried in? Likebumblingburglars who leave fingerprints at a crime scene, cooking oils leave their own clues. And by measuring the carbonisotopes in French fries, University of Hawaii researchers found that one oil tops all others as the choice to fry fries in: corn oil. That’s according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

　　你是否曾想過(guò)盤(pán)中的薯條是用什么炸的？就像笨賊們會(huì )在犯罪現場(chǎng)留下指紋一樣，烹飪用油也會(huì )在食物中留下痕跡。《美國國家科學(xué)院院刊》的一篇報道稱(chēng)：夏威夷大學(xué)的研究人員通過(guò)測定炸薯條中碳同位素的含量，發(fā)現玉米油是炸薯條的首選，其用量超過(guò)了其他食用油。

　　National chain restaurants typically reveal only that fries may contain one or more of the following oils: corn,canola, soybean, cottonseed, sunflower andpalm. But consumers might like a little more info: in a meal of burger, fries and soda, 20 percent of the total calories come from the oil that fried the potatoes.

　　一些全國連鎖餐廳特別指出,只有炸薯條可能會(huì )含有以下食用油中一種或幾種：玉米油、菜籽油、豆油、棉籽油、葵花油和棕櫚油。但消費者或許需要知道更多：一餐含有漢堡、薯條和汽水的食物中，總熱量的20%都來(lái)自炸薯片所用的食用油中。

　　Analyzing fries from nearly 200 Hawaiian restaurants, the scientists found that 69 percent of the national chainoutlets used corn oil, compared with just 20 percent of independent eateries.

　　對近200家夏威夷餐廳的炸薯條進(jìn)行分析后，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現69%的全國連鎖餐廳使用玉米油，而在個(gè)體獨立經(jīng)營(yíng)的飯館中，比例只有20%。

　　Corn oil is probably the least healthy of the oils mentioned, with more harmfulsaturated fats than canola or sunflower and fewer heart-healthy compounds than soybean. Of course, regardless of what they’re fried in, French fries probably aren’t on your diet. Then again, you’re probably not on your diet either.

　　上述所提到的所有食用油中，玉米油可能是最無(wú)益的'，它的有害飽和脂肪含量比菜籽油或葵花油高，而有益心臟健康的化合物含量比豆油低。當然，不管薯條用什么油炸，它可能并不會(huì )出現在你的節食食譜上，不過(guò)，你也很有可能不按自己的節食食譜來(lái)飲食。
