The NIH connects artificial sweeteners with depression; why fingers get all pruney underwater; insulin findings could lead to needle-free diabetes medication; deaf mice made to hear again.
NIH称饮用过多的饮料会导致情绪抑郁，人造甜味剂是主因；手指在水中为啥起皱；胰岛素的发现开创了糖尿病治疗的新纪元；失聪小鼠恢复听力。
Calorie-free beverages aren't worry-free. Diet soda drinkers have previously been told that their habit could lead to cancer (even though researchers doubt aspartame is toxic).
即使是不含热量的饮料，对于我们来说，也并不一定饮用起来就可以真的“安枕无忧”。一些热衷于无糖饮料的饮用者先前就已经知晓了他们的这一生活习惯容易诱发癌症(研究人员分析指出，饮料中的人造甜味剂阿斯巴甜可能是问题的关键）。
Now they have to worry about whether or not their zero-calorie beverages are making them depressed.
如今他们担心的是饮用“零度可乐”是否会导致他们患上抑郁症。
A new National Institutes of Health study found that those who drink four or more cans of diet soda per day are 30 percent more likely to develop depression than non-soda drinkers.
美国国家卫生研究院一项最新研究成果显示，每天喝4罐或4罐以上健怡可乐的人，发生抑郁症的可能性比正常人高出30%。
But the correlation here isn't limited to Diet Coke — fruit punch drinkers actually had a higher rate of depression, according to the NIH. Study author Honglei Chen explains the takeaway:
但这种相关性并非仅仅局限于健怡可乐——事实上在美国国家卫生研究院的研究结果中也显示出喜欢喝杂果宾治饮料的人易患抑郁症的可能性比前者更甚。负责此项研究的陈洪磊博士就此说道：
Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk.
我们的研究初步结果表明，停止或者减少饮用无糖饮料，或用不含糖的咖啡将其取而代之，会有效降低抑郁症的发生的几率。
... More research is needed to confirm these findings, and people with depression should continue to take depression medications prescribed by their doctors.
…但对此我们还需要作进一步的研究，对于已经患有抑郁症的患者则应该遵医嘱继续服用抗抑郁药物。
