研究表明:小苏打可以去除水果和蔬菜中大量的农药残留

摘要

现在，我们中的许多人都意识到了食用有机农产品和其他食物的重要性。虽然我们经常会尽力，但有时有机食品会花掉我们一大笔钱，所以我们时不时会选择传统种植的食物。也许我们甚至会听从环境工作组”干净十五”和”脏十二”计划的建议。

事实:有机食品往往很昂贵，幸运的是有一个简单的解决方案，我们可以很容易地用来清洗我们的农产品，并减少我们摄入到我们身体的化学物质的数量。

反思:我们很容易因为经常暴露在大量的环境毒素中而气馁。有时候，一点点的意识会有很大的帮助，对于我们所面临的一些问题，有简单的解决方案。

By now,many of us are aware of the importance of eating organic produce and other foods.Although we may often try our best,sometimes the organic option can cost an arm and a leg so we opt for conventionally grown foods from time to time.Perhaps we even follow the advice given by the Environmental Working Group's"Clean Fifteen"and"Dirty Dozen"program.While this is a great way to reduce your exposure to chemically laden pesticides known to have many detrimental side effects,not to mention the fact that they are essentially a straight up poison,designed specifically to kill,pests,another simple option also exists.The use of baking soda to wash produce effectively removes up to 96 percent of pesticides from fruit and vegetables.

现在，我们中的许多人都意识到了食用有机农产品和其他食物的重要性。虽然我们经常会尽力，但有时有机食品会花掉我们一大笔钱，所以我们时不时会选择传统种植的食物。也许我们甚至会听从环境工作组"干净十五"和"脏十二"计划的建议。虽然这是一个很好的方法来减少你暴露在已知具有许多有害副作用的含化学成分的杀虫剂中，更不用说它们本质上是一种直接的毒药，专门设计来杀死害虫，另一个简单的选择也存在。用小苏打清洗农产品可以有效去除水果和蔬菜中高达96%的杀虫剂。

The Research

研究

Scientists from the University of Massachusetts published a study in the journal,Agricultural and Food Chemistry on the effects of baking soda on gala apples.The apples used in the study were sprayed with two types of pesticides:phosmet,a known insecticide and thiabendazole,which is a fungicide.After the pesticides were given time to penetrate into the apple peels,the apples were rinsed with three different liquid solutions:tap water,a ratio of 1%baking soda to 99%water and a commonly used bleaching solution.

马萨诸塞大学的科学家们在《农业与食品化学》杂志上发表了一项关于小苏打对春节苹果的影响的研究。研究中使用的苹果喷洒了两种杀虫剂:一种是已知的杀虫剂辛硫磷，另一种是杀菌剂噻菌灵。在杀虫剂渗入苹果皮后，用三种不同的液体溶液冲洗苹果:自来水、1%小苏打和99%水的比例以及常用的漂白液。

Lead author,Dr Lili He from the University of Massachusetts said,"Pesticide residues may remain on agricultural produce,where they contribute to the total dietary intake of pesticides.Concerns about potential hazards of pesticides to food safety and human health have increased,and therefore,it is desirable to reduce these residues."

研究报告的主要作者、马萨诸塞大学的何丽丽博士说:"农产品中可能残留着农药残留物，这些残留物决定了人们从膳食中摄入的农药总量。人们越来越关注除害剂对食物安全和人体健康的潜在危害，因此有必要减少这些残余物。」

Results Of The Study

研究结果

After 12 minutes of gentle scrubbing the baking soda solution was able to remove 80%of the thiabendazole and 15 minutes to remove 96%of the phosmet.A type of electromagnetic mapping technology was used to determine the percentage of pesticide residue on the surface and inside the apples.

经过12分钟的温和擦洗，小苏打溶液能够去除80%的噻菌灵，15分钟去除96%的光气。采用电磁制图技术测定苹果表面和内部农药残留量。

While this is just one study,there has been plenty of research conducted on the use of baking soda to remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables.So,while organic is usually best,this method can be used safely and effectively to wash your produce and reduce your exposure to harmful,often carcinogenic,chemical pesticides.

虽然这只是一项研究，但是已经有很多研究表明使用小苏打可以去除水果和蔬菜中的杀虫剂。所以，虽然有机食品通常是最好的，但是这种方法可以安全有效地清洗你的农产品，减少你接触到有害的，通常是致癌的化学杀虫剂。

According to Dr.He,'The use of pesticides in agriculture has led to an increase in farm productivity.However,pesticide residues may remain on agricultural produce,where they contribute to the total dietary intake of pesticides.Concerns about potential hazards of pesticides to food safety and human health have increased,and therefore,it is desirable to reduce these residues.'The results showed that the baking solution was most effective in removing thiabendazole and phosmet on and in apples.The standard post-harvest washing method with bleach solution and a two-minute wash did not effectively remove these pesticides.'

根据何博士的说法，农业中使用杀虫剂导致了农业生产力的提高。不过，农产品仍可能含有残余除害剂，从而影响从膳食中摄取除害剂的总量。人们越来越关注除害剂对食物安全和人体健康的潜在危害，因此有必要减少这些残余物
结果表明，烘烤液对苹果上和苹果中噻菌灵和光气的去除效果最好。标准的收获后用漂白剂和两分钟的清洗方法并没有有效地去除这些杀虫剂
