It is every dieter's dream: mouthwatering chocolate, cakes and biscuits that help the weight drop off.
它是每一節食者的夢想：令人流口水的巧克力、蛋糕和餅乾，幫助減除體重。
And these mythical treats could soon be on their way to your plate, thanks to a breakthrough by British scientists.
和這些神話的款待可能在路上，很快去到您們的碟，多謝一項英國科學家的突破。
Newcastle University experts have discovered that a fibre found in seaweed is more effective than most weight loss supplements in stopping the body from absorbing fat from food - and even enhances flavour.
紐卡素大學的專家已發現，一種在海藻中找到的纖維，是比大多數減肥補充劑更有效，阻止身體吸收來自食物的脂肪 - 和甚至提高食物風味。
Miraculous: Food products including a fibre extracted from seaweed that promotes weight loss could soon hit the market奇蹟的：食品中包含有從海藻中提煉的纖維可促進減磅，可能很快在市場大行其道
Although the research is in the early stages, it raises the tantalising prospect of extra-tasty sweets, pies and buns that actually melt away the pounds.
儘管研究是在早期階段，它提升額外美味糖果、批和包的誘人前景，實際上融化磅重。
The Newcastle scientists looked at how good 60 different types of fibre were at preventing the body absorbing fat. The lab tests were won by alginate, a sea kelp fibre already used in small quantities by manufacturers to thicken and stabilise foods.
紐卡素大學的科學家研究了60多種不同類型的纖維，它們防止身體吸收脂肪的能力有幾好。實驗室測試由海藻酸鈉贏得，它是一種海藻纖維已被製造商用於小數量的增厚和穩定食品。
It cut fat absorption by 75 per cent, an American Chemical Society conference will hear today.
它減少脂肪吸收約75%，一個美國化學學會的會議將在今天聽證。
This was better than many weight loss supplements, and almost as good as over-the-counter pill Alli.
這是優於許多減肥補充劑，而且幾乎如非處方藥埃利一樣咁好。
Launched to much fanfare last year, Alli also blocks fat absorption and claims to help slimmers lose 50 per cent more weight than through willpower alone.
But, while Alli is taken as a pill, the alginate would likely be added to foods in a powdered form.
The powder, which is colourless and flavourless, has already been added to bread - and testers reported that it tasted better.
Researcher Dr Iain Brownlee said: 'Our initial findings are that alginates significantly reduce fat digestion. This suggests that if we can add the natural fibre to products commonly eaten daily - such as bread, biscuits and yoghurts - up to three quarters of the fat contained in that meal could simply pass through the body.
He added: 'I would agree that people should eat more healthily and exercise more but they aren't doing that and there is maybe a need for a slightly different approach.'
Slimmers, however, may want to find another snack to keep them going for now - alginate-enhanced treats are around a decade from reaching the shops.
