囧研究：无肉汉堡，盐份超标
Many meat-free burgers contain levels of salt that are far higher than the recommended guidelines, health campaigners have warned.
健康饮食运动者发出警告称，许多无肉汉堡的含盐量比推荐指导书要高出很多。
According to Action on Salt, a group of health specialists based at Queen Mary University in London, meat-free burgers often contain more salt than burgers made with realmeat, despite being widely regarded as “healthier” alternatives.
一队由伦敦大学玛丽女王学院健康专家组成的名为《食盐行动》小组称，不含肉的汉堡被广泛的认为是一种健康选择不过它比含肉的汉堡盐分更高。
After carrying out a nationwide survey, the expert group discovered that beef burgers have an average salt content per serving of 0.75g, 0.14g less than the average salt content of meat-free burgers.
在进行全国调研以后，专家小组发现每个牛肉汉堡的平均含盐量是0.75克，而无肉汉堡平均每个多含0.14克盐。
The researchers also analysed the packaging of 157 meat-free products, coming to the conclusion that many meat alternatives, including meat-free burgers, sausages and mince, are “concealing” the levels of the salt that they contain.
专家们还对158种无肉食品进行调研，包括无肉汉堡，素香肠，素肉糜等，得出这些掩人耳目代肉食品的含盐量都很高。
Following on from their research, Action on Salt is urging Public Health England (PHE) to address the high levels of salt found in meat-free products.
根据食盐行动小组的结果，敦促英国公共健康前来解决这个问题。
“This survey drives home the urgent need for Public Health England to reinvigorate the UK’s salt reduction strategy.”
“这个调查结果的本质就是要英国公共健康组织重启英国减盐战略。”
The governmet recommends that adults and children in the UK consume no more than 6g of salt a day.
英国政府建议成人和小孩每天盐的摄入量不超过6克.
Graham MacGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at Queen Mary University and chairman of Action on Salt, explains the importance of cutting down on one’s daily salt intake.
来自伦敦大学玛丽女王学院心血管药物的教授，同时也是这个行动小组的主席Graham MacGregor称，每天减少盐的摄入量这一点非常重要。
“Reducing salt is the most cost-effective measure to reduce the number of people dying or suffering from entirely unnecessary strokes and heart disease,” he says.
“减少食盐最大的好处是能够减少死于或者免受突然中风或者心脏病的人数。”
