　　女性通常比照爱吃蛋糕之类的甜食，特别是欧美的女性。但是有一项查询却发现甜食不但会使人发胖还会影响人的毛发。

　　More than half of all women are concerned about excess body hair, according to a report published by market research company Mintel last month. In the online survey of more than 2,000 women, excess hair was rated just behind weight gain for body dissatisfaction。

　　根据商场查询公司明特尔上个月发布的查询显现，超越一半的女性忧虑体毛过多的疑问。在网上对2000多名女性进行的问卷标明，就身体不满度而言，毛发过多是仅次于肥胖以外的第二大疑问。

　　It’s estimated that one in ten of us suffers from excess facial and body hair. But what causes it-

　　据统计，10自个中就有1自个承受着脸部和身体毛发过多的困扰。那么，是啥要素致使我们毛发过多呢?

　　Sometimes race or just a family tendency to be more hairy is to blame, rather than any medical problem. People of South Asian or Mediterranean descent tend to have more hair than Caucasians or those with black skin, for example。

　　有时候，人种或许宗族遗传即是致使毛发过多的元凶巨恶，而不是啥疾病。举例来说，南亚人或许地中海人种的毛发就比高加索人种或黑人的毛发更多。

　　But there are other factors that could be to blame. Eating large amounts of sugary, refined carbohydrates, such as biscuits and cakes, may trigger excess hair. These foods have a high glycemic index, which means they release their energy quickly and can cause insulin resistance。

　　但也有其他的要素致使毛发过多。食用许多的糖类食物、精制的碳水化合物，比方饼干、蛋糕，就会诱发毛发增多的疑问。这些食物的升糖指数极高，会快速释放出许多能量，致使胰岛素抵抗力降低。

　　Insulin is the hormone that controls blood sugar level; ‘resistance’ means the hormone becomes less effective at lowering blood sugar, so the body has to produce more of it to get the job done。

　　胰岛素是操控血糖水平的激素。胰岛素抵抗力降低的意思指的是，胰岛素在血糖水平低的情况下，其作用也会降低。因而，人体就需要分泌更多的胰岛历来结束身体机能的正常运作。

　　“The problem is that a raised insulin level may trigger growth factors which make the ovaries produce too much of the “male” hormone testosterone, which can lead to excess hair,” adds Marilyn Glenville, a women’s health expert and nutritionist. “Being overweight can also cause insulin resistance。”
