Is Donkey's Milk The Next Big Health Trend?

喝驢奶將成爲健康新潮流？

We've tried cow, soya and even oat milk. So it's only fair that donkey's milk has its day.

牛奶、豆奶、燕麥奶我們都喝過。是時候嚐嚐驢奶了！

Donkey's milk is lower in fat than cow's milk and contains inflammation-reducing fatty acids that boost heart health.

驢奶比牛奶脂肪含量更低，裏面還含有減少炎症發生的脂肪酸，對心臟健康有益。

"Biochemically, donkey's milk is actually closer to human milk than cow's milk with a similar protein, mineral and fatty acid composition," nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed tells The Huffington Post UK.

“從生物化學角度講，驢奶在蛋白質含量、礦物質（灰分）和脂肪酸含量上都更接近母乳，” 營養學家Charlotte Stirling-Reed在英國赫芬頓郵報上如是說。

"It's also reported to have many functional properties, but the truth is we don't have enough research to say much more than that at this point."

“此外，驢奶還有其他一些保健功效，但目前我們僅發現了這些。”

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation says donkey milk has "particular nutritional benefits" and could benefit those who are allergic to cow's milk.

英國食品農業組織表示，驢奶有很高的營養價值，可以讓對牛奶過敏的人羣嘗試驢奶。

A Suisse dairy company called Eurolactis is already marketing the milk in Europe.

一家叫Eurolactis的瑞士奶品公司已經開始在歐洲市場銷售驢奶了。

They sell atomised, freeze-dried and fresh milk - the latter of which is only available in Italy at the moment - as well as cosmetics and soaps which are reportedly good for skin conditions such as eczema.

他們出售霧化、凍乾和新鮮驢奶，但鮮驢奶目前只在意大利有售。此外，還生產驢奶製成的化妝品和香皂，說是對溼疹等皮膚問題很有效。

Adults in good health can enjoy donkey'smilk as a hypo-allergenic substitute for cow'smilk."

健康的成年人可以飲用驢奶代替牛奶，因爲驢奶具有低致敏性。

Dr Massimo Caliendo, nutritional biologist, writes on the Eurolactis site: "One of the most important uses of donkey'smilk is in paediatrics, specifically for cases of allergies and intolerance.

生物營養學家Massimo Caliendo博士在Eurolactis網站發表的文章上說：“驢奶目前主要用在兒科上，用來給那些對牛奶過敏或乳糖不耐受的嬰幼兒飲用。”

"It is well-known that the protein in cow'smilk can be an allergen for children. If mother'smilk is not available, donkey'smilk comes into its own as an extremely beneficial and important source of food, particularly for cases of multiple food allergies and poor absorption."

“大家都是知道牛奶中的蛋白質很容易引發嬰兒過敏。如果沒辦法喝母乳，就可以飲用營養豐富的驢奶。這在對其他事物過敏或吸收困難的嬰幼兒身上也適用。”

He added that donkey's milk is also a great supplement for sports people.

他補充說，驢奶對運動的人也是很好的補劑。

"It can improve work rate and performance," he wrote. "In difficult situations such as growth problems, poor diet, convalescence, periods of transition such as adolescence or the menopause or for older people, dietary supplementation based on donkey'smilk helps the body to cope during critical phases.

“它可以增強運動能力和表現，”他寫道。“在發育出現問題、不良飲食、康復期和生長髮育的轉折期（比如發育成年和更年期），飲用驢奶也能提供幫助。”
