English to German: Why some like it hot General field: Science Detailed field: Nutrition
Source text - English Do your ears burn whenever you eat hot chile peppers? Does your face immediately flush when you drink alcohol? Does your stomach groan if you are exposed to raw milk or green fava beans? If so, you are probably among the one-third of the world’s human population that is sensitive to certain foods due to you genes’ interactions with them.
Formerly misunderstood as “genetic disorders”, many of these sensitivities are now considered to be adaptations that our ancestors evolved in response to the dietary choices and diseases they faced over millennia in particular landscapes. They are liabilities only when we are “out of place”, on globalized diets depleted of certain chemical that triggered adaptive responses in our ancestors.
Translation - German Werden Ihre Ohren rot und glühen, immer wenn Sie scharfe Peperoni essen? Laufen Sie auch sofort rot an, jedes Mal wenn Sie Alkohol trinken? Drückt Sie der Magen, wenn Sie Milch trinken oder grüne Fava Bohnen essen? Wenn ja, dann gehören Sie vermutlich auch zu dem Drittel der Menschheit, das, aufgrund Ihrer genetischen Disposition, auf bestimmte Inhaltstoffe in unserer Nahrung überempfindlich reagiert.
Bisher als „genetische Störung“ missverstanden, werden viele dieser überempfindlichen Reaktionen heute als Anpassungen gesehen, die unsere Vorfahren als Reaktion auf die verfügbaren Nahrungsmittel und die Krankheiten, mit denen sie in ihrer jeweiligen Umwelt konfrontiert wurden, entwickelt haben. Diese Anpassungen werden nur dann zu Unpässlichkeiten, wenn wir „am falschen Ort“ sind, wenn wir globalisierte Nahrungsmittel konsumieren, denen die notwendigen chemischen Inhaltsstoffe fehlen, um Anpassungsmechanismen auszulösen, wie es bei unseren Vorfahren noch der Fall war.
