So many myths. Let’s get to them because so little time. White meat turkey is healthier than dark meat turkey. True or False?

有這么多（和健康相關(guān)的）神話，因為時間不夠多,讓我們趕緊開始吧。白顏色的火雞肉比深顏色的火雞肉要健康，對還是錯？

False. Believe it or not, False. Dark meat gets its dark color from a compound called myoglobin which is in muscle meat because it transports oxygen. If you can imagine turkey and all other types of poultry, they walked around a lot. So there is a lot of myoglobin and dark meat within the thigh. And thanks to myoglobin, there is more iron, there is more zinc, thiamin, and also riboflavin.

錯，不管你是否相信，這是錯的。深顏色肉的深顏色是從一種叫做肌紅蛋白的化合物而來的，因為肌紅蛋白(用來)運輸氧，所以存在于肌肉當中。如果你能想象一下，火雞和別的禽類，經(jīng)常要走很多的路，所以在大腿里面有很多的肌紅蛋白和深顏色的肉。而且正因為有了肌紅蛋白，也就有了更多的鐵，鋅，維生素B1，以及核黃素。

And fat.

還有脂肪。

Here is a thing. A lot of people automatically assume white meat is better because of calories. But, 3 ounces of white meat turkey compared to 3 ounces of dark meat only has about 20 fewer calories and 2 fewer calories fat.

還有個問題是，很多人自動地假設(shè)白顏色的肉在熱量方面要好一些。但是，3盎司的白火雞肉和3盎司的深顏色的肉相比僅少了20卡路里的熱量和2卡路里的脂肪。

You are kidding.

你是開玩笑的吧？

It’s true. It’s true. And …

是真的。確實是真的。還有…

I don’t believe that. Because you, on the outside, you are eating a lot more of the, of the oil that’s on it because it’s a small piece when you cutting into the white…, you may not believe me, but, just to kind of make sure…, because people would probably agree with me, if you don’t have the skin of the white, you are not getting all that…

我才不信呢。因為你，從外表上看，當你切開白肉的時候，那是一小塊，你吃進去的油要多得多，你可能不信我，但是，只是為了確認一下，因為大家可能會同意我的觀點，如果你不吃白肉的皮的話，你就不會吃進所有那些…

There is a little bit more fat, and there is a little bit more calories. You are exactly right. But the bottom line is: there is not that much. So, choose whichever color you want, but discard the skin because that’s the problem of …

稍微多了那么一點點的脂肪，稍微多了那么一點點的熱量。你完全正確。但是問題的底線是：（它們之間的）差別并不是很大。所以，想選什么顏色的肉就選什么顏色的肉，但是要把皮給仍了，因為這才是問題…
