有机食品能减肥?专家称只能增肥

It is the preferred fare of millions of health-conscious Britons. But eating organic food could make you fat, experts have warned. A study has shown that people tend to assume that organic foods - particularly snacks - contain fewer calories that their conventionally-produced counterparts, so buy and eat more. For those for whom buying organic is a treat, this is unlikely to have any major consequences. But people who decide to ‘go organic’, could soon find themselves piling on the pounds. Healthy choice? It is the preferred fare of millions of health-conscious Britons. But eating organic food could make you fat, experts have warned as people assume it contains fewer calories than non-organic counterparts

目前，在各大超市中，但凡是贴上“有机”标签的食品几乎都是贵得令人咂舌的，被冠以“防癌、美颜、健体、减肥”的有机食品果真就像它的价格一样，让购买者觉得“物有所值”吗？在英国，上百万的英国民众都坚信选择有机食品可以带给他们健康的身体，但是专家又跳出来“指手画脚”一番，警告倘若是希望通过食用有机零食的人赶紧住手吧！据一份最新研究显示，坚信“贵的，就是好的”的人们要注意了，有机食品会促人发胖！专家警告称，有机食品，特别是零食类的有机食品（巧克力、饼干等）相比同类有机食品含有更多的卡路里，可以让人迅速增肥。

The warning comes from American researchers who investigated whether the sight of an organic label was enough to imbue a food with a range of desirable st 150 shoppers were asked to taste what they thought were conventionally and organically-produced chocolate biscuits, yoghurts and crisps. The shoppers are asked how tasty and nutritious they found the snacks, how many calories they thought they contained and how much they’d be willing to pay for them.

据一份来自美国研究员的调查显示，通过对150名在超市购买有机食品的顾客分发了调查问卷，询问他们对于有机零食（酸奶、饼干、薯片等）的看法，顾客需要回答他们心中的有机零食究竟是怎样的？是更营养？还是更可口呢？而购买了有机食品后，同类有机食品的卡路里含量是否会降低呢？他们愿意花多少钱购买有机食品？

They were also perceived to be lower in fat and higher in fibre, tastier and worth paying more for, the annual conference of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology is despite them actually being identical to their conventionally-labelled ell University researcher Jenny Wan-chen Lee believes this is an example of something known as the ‘halo effect’.

在顾客眼中，有机食品有很多优点，比如：在纤维含量上会更高、味道更可口等等。美国实验生物学会联合会研究指出，人们对于有机食品的“误解”有点点深，有机食品并非万能，有机食品只是没有农药以及人工添加剂等技术支撑，但是不意味着有机食品含有少量的卡路里，可以达到减肥的功效。
