减肥失败不是你的错 洗发水也会让你发胖

　　Any doctor or dietician will agree that the solution to the obesity crisis is a healthy diet and regular exercise. But new research indicates that they are not the only factors at play.

　　任何的医生和营养学家可能都同意这样一种说法，解决肥胖危机的最好方法就是健康的饮食，加上平时坚持锻炼身体。不过据一项最新的研究，导致肥胖的发生可能还有其他的因素。

　　A recent study has suggested that chemicals used in many common beauty products could be quietly contributing to weight gain.

　　这项最近的研究显示，在美容产品中所广泛使用的某些化学物质可能会导致人体体重的增加。

　　Doctors at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York say that phthalates, which appear on ingredients lists of around 70 per cent of shampoos, cosmetics and soaps, could be 'endocrine disruptors', and should be avoided where possible.

　　位于纽约的西奈山医学中心的医生们表示，在百分之七十的洗发香波中都添加了一种名叫邻苯二甲酸盐的华轩元素，它还存在于化妆品和肥皂之中，这种物质“可能会干扰人体内分泌”，大家应该尽量避免使用这样的产品。

　　The research echoes previous studies which have shown that the chemicals can cause damage to the system that naturally controls one's body weight.

　　这项研究呼应了之前的发现，化学物质会伤及人体的神经系统，影响到控制体重的系统。

　　They found that endocrine disruptors can mimic the effects of hormones and affect the performance of the glands that produce them.

　　研究者们发现，这种干扰正常内分泌的物质的作用类似于荷尔蒙对于人体的效果，影响其腺体所产生的机能。

　　The Mount Sinai researchers also warned against, Bisphenol-A, a substance present in many food containers, plastic water and baby bottles (indicated by a number 7 printed on the base).

　　西奈山医学中心的医生还警告到，一种名为双酚A的物质普遍的出现在许多的食物容器之内，其中包括了塑料水瓶和婴儿的奶瓶（表面印有数字7）。
