9. 健身界掀喝人奶熱潮

Most of us find it normal to consume cow, goat and even donkey milk, but there?s something creepy about adults? drinking human breast milk. Yet, it?s the latest fad among bodybuilders who convince it will help them gain muscle faster.

我們大多數(shù)人都認為喝牛奶、羊奶甚至驢奶很正常，但成年人喝人奶卻是件令人毛骨悚然的事兒。然而這卻是在健身愛好者中興起的新潮流，因為他們認為喝人奶有助于加速肌肉增長。

It's unbelievable how many fitness fanatics believe that drinking human milk is the ultimate way to gaining muscle mass. A simple Google search reveals dozens of online forums and articles about this trend, and one thread on bodybuilding.com actually hails breast milk as the "greatest supplement ever".

令人難以置信的是，為數(shù)不少的健身愛好者都認為喝人奶是增加肌肉塊的終極方法。在谷歌上隨便一搜，就會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多和這股潮流有關(guān)的在線論壇和文章，bodybuilding.com 網(wǎng)站上甚至宣稱人奶是"最好的補品"。

Unsurprisingly, the high demand is happily met by young mothers willing to sell their surplus milk. Some of them go through online breast milk banks that pay them up to $1,200 a month.

毋庸置疑，對人奶的高需求讓那些愿意出售多余奶水的年輕母親感到高興。她們中的一些人加入線上母乳銀行，每月可獲得多達 1200 美元(約合人民幣 7511 元)的收入。

Supporters of the trend argue that breast milk contains the greatest supply of human growth hormones and believe that the nutrients that help babies grow will also work for adults. Others believe the milk will help to cure such diseases as psoriasis. However, experts say that there is no evidence to suggest advantages for adults.

這股潮流的支持者認為，人奶中含有最豐富的人類生長激素，這些可以幫助嬰兒成長的營養(yǎng)成分同樣對成年人奏效;還有人認為，人奶會幫助治愈牛皮癬等疾病。然而，專家們則表示沒有證據(jù)表明人奶對成年人有效。
