“There are sort of three main ways that our species has developed to break down foods, or process foods, in a primordial way. And that is by cooking, by fermenting foods and by drying them or desiccating them.”
“我们人类发展出三种加工食物的原始方式——烹饪、发酵、脱水。”

“And the first two, cooking and fermenting, are older than our species is. Homo sapiens sapiens came about in the presence of fire. And probably eating some fermented foods, since that happens spontaneously.”
“前两种方式，烹饪和发酵要比我们物种还要早。智人和火同时出现，而食用一些发酵食物也大约自那时开始。”
Breslin spoke February 20th at a press briefing at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.

“So I think that we may be unique among the apes in that we can detect when a food has been cooked or fermented. And that this allows us to identify the benefits of those, which is that they’re detoxified, they have greater available nutrients, and they are, in the case of fermented foods, going to have probiotics—or good microbes that we want and need in our intestines in order to survive in the world.…
“所以我认为我们在猿类中可能是独一无二的，因为我们可以通过检查食物是否已经烹制或发酵来确认它们的益处，无毒，或富含可利用的营养元素。并且发酵食品含有益生菌，或是我们肠道想要和需要的有益微生物，能够帮助我们在世界上生存。”
“The second leading cause of death of children on Earth today is diarrhea, following pneumonia, which is number one. And that diarrheal disease is in fact the most common disease on Earth in humans. And that eating fermented foods, properly fermented foods of any kind, can in fact deliver probiotics, which help prevent these diseases. And I believe could in fact save lives if they were more commonly adopted in society.”
“当今世界上，腹泻致死儿童的数量仅次于肺炎。而腹泻实际上是人类在地球上最常见的疾病。吃发酵食品，任何种类适当发酵的食物，事实上都可以提供益生菌，这有助于预防这些疾病。我相信，如果我们广泛食用，将可以挽救更多生命。”
