译/刘延胜 张蔚娜 In the fight against breast cancer, Tesco and Aldi in Hungary have teamed up with leading local mushroom grower Bio-Fungi to raise awareness and funds for the issue. ‘Go Pink!’ is the worldwide slogan of the campaign to fight breast cancer and raise awareness of the importance of prevention and screening tests. This October, during worldwide Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Hungarian mushroom-grower Bio-Fungi Kft wrapped its mushrooms in pink trays for third year in a row, thus helping the anti-cancer work of the Hungarian Cancer League. The special packages are available in Tesco and Aldi stores, and Bio-Fungi and the two retailers each give HUF 5 after every tray sold to support the Cancer League. Last year, during a similar ‘pink mushroom’ campaign, Bio-Fungi raised HUF 732,240 (€2,400) for the Cancer League, and Aldi added another €1,600. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Hungarian women. In the country, 6-7,000 new patients are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. Researchers find that mushrooms contain substances that reduce the activity of the enzyme called aromatase, which increases the oestrogen hormone level. The excessive production of oestrogen increases the risk of breast cancer. Regular consumption of button mushrooms can help in the prevention of breast cancer by interfering with the rising of excessive oestrogen levels in the body, studies suggest. In Hungary, 25,000 tonnes of white button mushrooms, 2,300 tonnes of oyster mushrooms and 10-20 tonnes of shiitake mushrooms are grown every year. Some 40-45 per cent of this amount is exported, and only 2 per cent of the European-grown mushroom gets to Hungary. Bio-Fungi Kft is a joint venture based on a family enterprise with 35 years of experience. It is one of the leading mushroom trade companies in Central Europe. 在与乳腺癌的斗争中，乐购和阿尔迪两大连锁超市与匈牙利当地蘑菇种植商Bio-Fungi通力合作，以期筹集资金和引起人们对该疾病的关注。 “飘扬吧，粉丝带”！是此次抗击乳腺癌运动中的世界性标语，同时也警醒世人乳腺癌的预防和做透析检查是多么的重要。在今年十月的世界乳腺癌警示月中，匈牙利蘑菇种植商Bio-fungi Kft 三年来都将其蘑菇包扎成一排粉色托盘来帮助匈牙利癌症协会的抗癌工作。这种特殊包装的蘑菇在乐购和阿尔迪连锁店里都有销售，这两大零售商每卖出一盘蘑菇都将捐出5福林来资助癌症协会。 去年，在一场类似“粉色蘑菇”运动中，Bio-Fungi 为癌症协会筹集了732240福林，约合2400欧元；阿尔迪则贡献出了1600欧元。 乳腺癌在匈牙利女性癌症患者中最为常见。在该国，每年有6-7000新增病人被确诊为乳腺癌患者。研究人员发现，芳香酶会促进人体雌性激素的产生，而蘑菇含有能抑制该酶活动的物质。过量的雌性激素将增大乳腺癌的患病几率。研究建议，经常食用草菇能避免人体雌性激素过剩，抑制乳腺癌的患病几率。 匈牙利每年种植25000吨的白草菇，2300吨平菇和10-20吨的香菇。大约40%-45%的的蘑菇用于出口，仅有2%的欧洲生产的蘑菇进口到匈牙利。Bio-fungi Kft 是一家拥有35年历史的基于家族企业建立起来的合资企业，亦是中欧地区蘑菇贸易行业的翘楚之一。
