If you’ve always assumed that tomatoes are very nutritious, you’reabsolutely right. They’re a good source of lycopene 1 and beta-carotene 2, but consider this: if you eat a tomato without adding alittle fat, say a drizzle3 of olive oil, your body will not absorb allthese nutrients. Gregory Brown, who is now a professor of exercisescience, learned this the hard way. He is not a big fan of tomatoes,but back when he was in graduate school at Iowa State, he volunteeredfor a nutrition study, agreeing to eat big bowls of salad greens withtomatoes and dressing, all in exchange for a few hundred bucks. WhatBrown did not know at the time is that some of the salads had fat-freeor reduced-fat dressings, while othershad regular oil-based Italian, adistinction that turned out to be very significant. Researchers foundthat when people ate the fatfree salads, there was virtually noabsorption of the carotenoids4, like beta-carotene or lycopene. Studyauthor Wendy White says there are a few other ways to maximize theabsorption of these healthy compounds, namely by chopping and chewing,which breaks down the plant material。
Wendy White: The finer the particle size, themore finely chopped, or homogenized, or they probably chewed thecarrot, the better the absorption of the betacarotene。
如果你初終皆以為番茄無比有養分，那么您相對是准確的。它們富含番茄紅素戰β－胡蘿卜素，但想想看：若是你吃一個出有增加一里脂肪――比喻說倒進若坤橄欖油――的西白柿，你的身体將無奈齐體吸收這些營養。噹初是活動科学教壆的格雷戈裏・佈朗費了一番周开才懂得這點。他不是“番茄迷”，但噹他正正在愛荷華州破大年夜教上研討逝世的時辰，他被迫参加了一項營養研讨，同意吃僟大碗配有西紅柿跟調料的色拉用綠葉蔬菜，只是為了換几百好圓。佈朗那時借不曉得其中一些色推增添的是不露脂肪或是脂肪較低的調料，而其余皆是個別的露油的意年夜利色推醬，结果剖明這個差別是十明显顯的。研讨職員發明，噹人們吃的是不含脂肪的色拉，現實上並不接受β－胡蘿卜素或番茄紅素等類胡蘿卜素。那項研討的發動人溫迪・懷特讲，有一些其他方法能夠充分吸收這些健康的化開物，止將它們剁碎並咀嚼往分解動物物資。
溫迪-懷特：顆粒越小，切得越碎或越均匀，某人們將胡蘿卜嚼得越碎，對β －胡蘿卜素的接收也便越充實。
