芥末對你有好處嗎？

Now, there isn't enough research to claim that mustard has definitive cancer-fighting powers. However, Verywell Fit notes that the yellow spread is rich in two antioxidants, isothiocyanates and sinigrin, that may contribute to cancer-fighting capabilities in the breast, lung, GI tract, and prostate. Particularly, isothiocyanates may help manage diabetes and help reduce bad cholesterol levels, but again, more conclusive research is needed to definitively support these claims.

現(xiàn)在，還沒有足夠的研究表明芥末具有確切的抗癌能力。然而，Verywell Fit指出，芥末醬富含兩種抗氧化劑，異硫氰酸酯和紫紅素，它們可能有助于乳腺癌、肺癌、胃腸道和前列腺的抗癌能力。特別是，異硫氰酸酯可能有助于控制糖尿病和降低不良膽固醇水平，但同樣，還需要更多的結(jié)論性研究來明確支持這些說法。

Mustard is also very low in calories. Different types may have more or less, though 1 teaspoon of yellow and spicy varieties contain approximately 3 calories each. Given the low-calorie amount in a serving, mustard does significantly contribute to a person's daily calorie intake (via Verywell Fit).

芥末的熱量也很低。雖然一茶匙的芥末和辣椒都含有大約3卡路里，但不同種類的食物可能有或多或少的熱量。考慮到一份芥末的卡路里含量很低，因此芥末對一個人的每日卡路里攝入量有很大的貢獻(xiàn)。

Healthline states that mustard is also rich in glucosinolate. Glucosinolate is a powerful compound that is found both in the leaves and seeds of a mustard plant and is known to help stimulate the body's antioxidant defenses that protect us from diseases.

Healthline表示芥末中也富含硫代葡萄糖苷。硫代葡萄糖苷是一種強大的化合物，存在于芥菜植物的葉子和種子中，已知有助于刺激身體的抗氧化防御，保護(hù)我們免受疾病的侵襲。

All signs indicate that mustard may be beneficial to our health. It's clearly a winning choice for calorie counters, too. So don't be afraid to squeeze or smear a little extra onto your sandwich or into your sauces if you're a fan of the popular yellow spread.

所有跡象表明芥末可能對我們的健康有益。對于卡路里控制來說，顯然也是一個不錯的選擇。所以，如果你是這種黃色醬料的粉絲，那不妨在三明治或醬汁上多擠或涂抹一點。
