摘要：
我们饶有兴趣地向读者荐介此文。当此地名目繁多的养身滋补口服液铺天盖地而至之时,正是西方人对Melatonin(【生化】褪黑激素,N—乙酰—5—甲氧基色胺)趋之若鹜之日。几家有影响的美刊简直神化了其“恢复青春”(age-reversing);“抗御疾病”(Disease-fighting):“促进性欲”(sex-enhancing)的功能。1995年,加州的一供应商销售量达1千万瓶,为1994年的20倍!本文全面、客观而又冷静地从Master conductor?Mood enhancer?Sleep aid?Body synchronizer?Sex booster?Cancer foe?Safe contraceptive? Life exlender?Harmless substance等9个方面纵论Melatonin的是非功过。 文章有一发人深省的细节:人脑中豆样大小的pineal gland(松果体)在约30年之前还被误认为如盲肠一样为可有可无之物,后来才发现其在内分泌系统中不可或缺的作用它启迪我们:人类对自身的认识与其对外部世界的认识一样,尚处于极其幼稚的阶段,这又令我们想起达尔文的一句名言:Humans were not one step below the angels but a few steps above primorolial sludge,(凡人不是距天使一步之遥,而是刚走出原始蒙昧仅几步。) 有人在读了此文后兴奋不已,认为:现代科技日新月异的发展总有一日会圆其“长生不老”之梦,笔者不敢苟同。记得毛泽东生前有过
