Ice cream made from insects
虫子制成的高档冰淇淋

After a long day under the beaming sun, an ice cream might be a tempting treat. But would you be able to enjoy it if you knew it was made from bug "milk?" Gourmet Grubb, a Cape Town-based startup, is hoping to use ice cream to introduce the public to the world of eating insects. 
在结束被烈日炙烤的漫长一天后，冰淇淋也许是非常具有诱惑力的犒赏。但如果你知道这个冰淇淋是用虫"奶"做的，你还会吃得那么香甜吗？开普敦初创企业Gourmet Grubb希望用冰淇淋让公众了解吃虫子的世界。

Its luxury ice cream uses EntoMilk, a dairy alternative made by blending the larvae of a tropical insect known as the black solider fly. The UN predicts that the world will need to double food production to feed the global population by 2050 and has long promoted insect farming as a sustainable alternative protein source to traditional livestock.
该企业的高档冰淇淋用EntoMilk作原料，这种奶制品替代品用热带昆虫黑水虻的幼虫混合制成。联合国预计，到2050年世界食品生产将需要翻番才能养活全球人口。长期以来，联合国一直提倡养殖昆虫作为替代传统畜牧业的可持续的蛋白质来源。

Chocolate reduces depression
吃黑巧克力能防止抑郁

It is food news guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Scientists have found that eating dark chocolate appears to lower the risk of depression by four fold. Chocolate contains a number of psychoactive ingredients which produce a feeling of euphoria similar to that of cannabinoid, found in cannabis. 
这则食品新闻肯定会让你喜笑颜开。科学家发现，吃黑巧克力或能将患抑郁症的风险降低3/4。巧克力含有很多精神活性成分，这些成分可产生类似于大麻中的大麻素带来的兴奋感。

It also contains phenylethylamine, a neuromodulator which is believed to be important for regulating people's moods. Dark chocolate also has a higher concentration of flavonoids, antioxidant chemicals which lower inflammation and can prevent the onset of depression. The research was published in the journal "Depression and Anxiety".
它还含有苯基乙胺，这种神经调节物质被认为对调节情绪很重要。黑巧克力还含有较高浓度的类黄酮，这种抗氧化剂可以减轻炎症，还能防止出现抑郁。这项研究发表在《抑郁和焦虑》期刊上。
