这两天相信大家都被星巴克刷屏了,喝了这么多年的咖啡,居然这么危险,有外媒称“星巴克含有致癌物质”!不仅星巴克,本次案件中被告上法庭的还包括绿山咖啡、7-11、Kraft Food Global等90余家快餐巨头。事情传到国内,国内媒体也纷纷刷屏。到底是真还是假,星巴克已对这件事情作出最新回应,下面来看看今天的日常英语资讯内容吧!
一、致癌物丙烯酰胺是什么?In general, carbohydrates and proteins in foods are "by-pass" produced during high-temperature cooking. Acrylamide is indeed a potential carcinogen. A large number of animal experiments have shown that acrylamide has a certain carcinogenicity; and it can cause damage to the nervous system, affect the early development of infants and endanger the reproductive health of men.
笼统来说,就是食物中的碳水化合物和蛋白质,在高温烹制过程中“顺带”产生的一种物质。丙烯酰胺的确是一种潜在致癌物质。大量动物实验表明,丙烯酰胺具有一定致癌性;并且能够造成神经系统损伤,影响婴儿早期发育,危害男性生殖健康。
However, these carcinogenicity is only "suspected." The current study has only stayed at the stage of animal experiments, and there is not enough evidence to show the same harm in humans. However, some special occupational groups may cause nerve damage due to high doses of exposure and ingestion. Normal people do not need to worry too much.
不过这些致癌性也只是“疑似”。目前的研究只停留在动物实验阶段,还没有充分证据表明在人类身上具有同样危害。只是,某些特殊职业人群可能因为大剂量的接触和摄入会造成神经损伤。正常人还不需要太过担心。
二、星巴克回应致癌:不是我一家In response to Starbucks Coffee’s cancer turmoil, some media sought confirmation from Starbucks China on the 31st and were told that the ruling was not directed against the Starbucks family, but against the entire coffee industry.
针对星巴克咖啡致癌风波,有媒体在31日向星巴克中国求证,被告知,该裁决并不针对星巴克一家,而是针对整个咖啡行业。
At present, the National Coffee Industry Association has issued an announcement on the verdict, insisting that coffee is a safe drink and the court ruling misled the public. Chi
nese netizens also expressed their tolerance. Some netizens also claimed that eating fritters can also cause cancer, but they did not feel that fritter production was affected.目前,全美咖啡行业协会已就裁决发布公告,坚称咖啡是安全饮品,法院裁决误导公众。中国网友也对此表示了宽容态度。也有网友称,吃油条也能致癌,但并没觉得油条生产受到影响。
