But it just keeps bouncing back.
但它只是彈回原來的狀態。
Because despite its nutritional bad reputation, white bread appears to boost the growth of good gut bacteria.
盡管它所含的營養物質并不出眾，但白面包看起來卻能夠促進腸道益生菌生長。
That's according to a paper in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

In recent years, white bread has been shunned as a glutenous slab that lacks the health benefits of whole wheat.
近年來，白面包被排除在麥麩名單之外就是因為它缺乏全賣食品中對健康有益的物質。
But this new study suggests there's more to the story.
但這項最近的研究表示白面包其中大有文章。
The researchers were looking at the effects of foods on the types of microbes that live in our intestines.
研究人員們正在觀察食物對于我們腸道中不同種類微生物的影響。
They gathered data on the diets of 38 healthy adults and then analyzed the bacteria present in the subjects' stool samples.

Hey, it's for science.

Turns out that volunteers who ate white bread had more Lactobacillus, a type of bacteria that wards off digestive disorders.
結果顯示攝取白面包的志愿者們含有更多乳酸桿菌，這種菌可以有效地抑制腸道功能紊亂。
Seems the starch and fibers in this sandwich staple are good for these germs.

But before you make your lunch, another recent study showed that eating white bread is associated with obesity.

So you should take all these findings with a pinch of salt.
所以，你還是不要太過較真于這些結論。
But not too much salt—especially if you have high blood pressure.
但要少攝取鹽分—特別是如果你有高血壓的話。
