- “艾米尔实验报告”（1979年）
- 背景：法国商人甘普尔委托巴黎圣安东尼医学院与里昂大学医学系，对云南沱茶（销法沱）展开全球首个普洱茶临床实验。
- 方法：对比高血脂患者饮用云南沱茶与服用降脂药“安妥明”的效果。
- 结论：云南沱茶降脂效果显著优于药物，尤其对甘油三酯的抑制率达35%（统计学显著）。
- 影响：
- 云南沱茶在法国药店作为处方药销售，医生开方“云南沱茶，两粒”；
- 销量从1977年2吨飙升至1991年200吨，增长100倍；
- 研究被载入《法国医学大词典》，奠定普洱茶科学功效的全球认知基础。
- 后续学术引用
- 里昂大学1980年代出版专著，解析沱茶化学成分对胆固醇、血尿酸的抑制机制；
- 邵宛芳《普洱茶功效》等著作持续引用该实验，构建普洱茶健康功效体系。
这个案例充分说明了确实存在的普洱茶功效作用。

DISTRIFRANCE提供的材料显示，“沱茶驰名百年，不仅是日常饮用的茶中珍品，更是传统中药典籍中记载的药用植物之一”
Using these facts as a basis, we decided to carry out our experiments on two possible properties of this tea:
据此，我们决定开展实验研究沱茶可能具有的两种特性:
1. to look for any effect on weight without any restricted eating regime or without any anorexic prescription. We made it clear to each of our patients that we wanted them to continue with their former eating habits. even sometimes with some excesses if that was their habit.
在无任何饮食限制及节食处方的条件下，探索沱茶对体重的影响。对于每一位参与实验的病人，我们都明确表示希望他们保持之前的饮食习惯，即使他们习惯偶尔过量饮食。
2. to look into an anti-lipid effect without any therapeutic prescription being taken for this overload and, in a general way, without any modification to their dietary habits.
在不对过度饮食采取任何治疗方案且总体不改变任何饮食习惯的条件下，研究沱茶的降脂作用。
PHARMACOLOGY/药理学
The black tea of the YUNNAN was subjected to a microscopic and chromatographic analysis by the FINEL Laboratory, 245 Rue Lecourbe, Paris 15eme, from which it was revealed that it was “a pure tea, conforming to the French pharmacopoeia, usable in pharmacy as a medicinal product”.
这种云南沱茶被置于显微镜下进行色谱分析，这项工作由FINEL实验室(245 Rue Lecourbe,Pars 15eme)完成。分析显示该茶为“纯品茶珍，符合法国药典，具有药用价值”
GENERAL POINTS/概要
Our investigation was carried out on 40 cases, of which 27 were women and 13 were men.
我们对27女、13男共40例样本进行了调查。
The ages ranged from 19 to 78 with:
年龄跨度从19岁到78岁:
2 below 20 [20岁以下2例]
4 between 21 and 30[21岁到30岁4例]
4 between 31 and 40[31岁到40岁4例]
10 between 41 and 50 [41岁到50岁10例]
11 between 51 and 60[51岁到60岁11例
4 between 61 and 70[61岁到70岁4例]
2 over 70[70岁以上2例]
EFFECT ON WEIGHT/对体重的影响
1.We considered, after at least one month’s treatment as:
在至少一个月的治疗以后，我们按如下标准对结果进行统计:
NIL result → no loss of weight or a loss of less than 1kg.
无效果→体重无减轻或减轻少于1kg
MEDIUM result→ a loss of 1~2 kg
效果一般 → 体重减轻1~2kg
GOOD result → a loss of 2~3 kg
效果良好→体重减轻2~3kg
VERY GOOD result → a loss of 3 kg or more.
效果极佳→体重减轻3kg及以上。
2.We studied 38 cases and we specified constantly that all those interested should not follow a restricted regime: if not to exaggerate the difference, at least to remain faithful to their eating habits. We are not sure of always having been obeyed but this gives more value to the good results.
我们对38例样本进行了研究，并始终明确所有参与者均不应控制饮食;即使不扩大差异，但至少保持原有饮食习惯。我们不能确定此项规定能贯彻执行，但能让得出的结果更有意义。
3.The investigation showed that:调查结果为:
1 VERY GOOD=2.63%(1例极佳=2.63%)
5 GOOD=13.15%(5例良好=13.15)
10 MEDIUM=26.30%(10例一般=26.30%)
22 NIL=57.92%(22例无=57.92%)
4.There was no correlation with age since.
结果与年龄无相关性，证据如下:
VERY HOOD case(No.25)was 68 years old
效果很好的样本(第25号)为68岁
GOOD cases(Nos.15、20、28、31、33)were 49、52、47、54 and 50 years old respectively
效果较好的样本(第15、20、28、31和33号)分别为49岁、52岁、47岁、54岁及50岁。
The young subjects(up to 30 years old)who, psychologically，should have been more motivated from the point of view ofslimming,classified themselves into three NILs and two MEDIUM.
从心理学角度来看对减肥应更有积极性的年轻样本(30岁及以下)结果却为3例无效果及2例效果一般。
EFFECT ON LIPID METABOLISM/对脂代谢的影响
We studied in turn the effect on the level of
我们依次研究了云南沱茶对以下几种脂类水平的影响
TOTAL LIPIDS /总脂
CHOLESTEKOL/胆固醇
TRIGLYCERIDES/甘油三酯
We considered the development of the levels as a percentage of normal with regard to the averages provided by the analysing laboratory. So we considered generally:
对于分析实验室提供的均值，我们用正常水平所占百分比来表示这些脂类水平的变化。因此总体上我们判定:
as a NIL result, a percentage improvement less than or equal to 25%
百分比增加≤25%为无效果
as a MEDIUM result, a percentage improvement of between 25% and 50%
百分比增加介于25%~50%之间为效果一般
as a GOOD result,a percentage improvement of between 50% and 75%
百分比增加介于50%~75%之间为效果良好
as a very GOOD result, the return to normal of the LEVELS considered.
所研究的脂类水平恢复正常为效果极佳。
EFFECT ON LEVELS OF TOTAL LIPIDS/对总脂水平的影响
We examined l5 cases.
我们检测了15例样本。
Normal was fixed at the level of 7gr. of lipids.
正常总脂水平固定为79。
We ended up with.
结果为:
3 VERY GOOD results(Nos.15.19,33)=20% of cases
3例效果极佳(第15、19和33号)=总样本20%
2 G00D resulls(Nos.18、23)=13.33% of cases
2例效果良好(第18和23号)=总样本13.33%
5 MEDIUM results(Nos.6、16、30、32.38)= 33.33% of cases
5例效果一般(第6、16、30、32和38号)=总样本33.33%
5 NIL results(Nos.8、25、27、39、40)=33.33% of cases
5例无效果(第8、25、27、39和40号)=总样本33.33%
To sum up /小小结:
in of the cases we obtained an improvement in the level of LIPlDS of 50% to 76.92%
1/3样本正常脂水平所占百分比上升50%至76.92%。
in another of the cases this percentage improvement went from 25% to 50%.
另1/3上升25%至50%。
finally in the NIL results it is necessary to point out a case(40)where the improvement reached 24.24% but we adhered strictly to our classification in keeping him in this category.
最后有必要指出，结果为无效果的案例之一(第40号)正常百分比增加达24.24%，但我们仍严格执行分组将其划分为无效果。
‘These results as a wholes without either, a special regime or treatment, surprised us agreeably andthey seen to us to merit a fuller study both in the number of cases but also into how this tea hassuch an effect. Irom the outset it seemed to us useful to add TUO CllA the diets of people with highlevels of lipids alongside specific therapy, which, of course, it does not pretend to replace.
在无特殊饮食或治疗的前提下，这些结果总体上令我们感到惊喜，我们认为它们值得进行更全面的研究，包括增加样本数量和深入研究该茶的作用原理。从一开始我们就认为，在高脂水平人群的饮食中加入沱茶，将配合而非取代特异性疗法发挥作用。
EFFECT ON LEVEL OF TRIGLYCERIDES/对甘油三酯水平的影响
We used 13 cases.[我们检测了13例样本。]
Normal was fixed at the level of 1.30gr. Of TRIGLYCERIDES.
[正常甘油三酯水平固定为1.30g]
1.Among these 13 cases, six had normal levels to begin with, Among these six cases (NOs. 15,18,23.32,33,40)only one (No. 40)developed unfavourably whereas the five others developed favourably, seeing the level of triglycerides diminish still further, They are therefore to be included in those benefited by the tea.
这13例中的6例在初始时为正常水平。6例(第15、18、23、32、33和40号)中，仅1例(第40号)变化不尽人意，其他5例都往好的方向发展，甘油三酯水平继续下降。因此，他们被划分为该茶的受益者。
2.Among the seven remaining cases, we obtained:
其余7例结果为:
4 VERY GOOD results(Nos.16，19，25，30)
4例效果极佳(第16、19、25和30号)
3 NUILresults(Nos.8，27.39).
3例无效果(第8、27和39号)
3.To sum up/小结:
in nine cases out of 13 drinking the tea led to normal or contributed to the towering of the already normallevels of TRIGLYCERIDES, which gives us an appreciable percentage of 69.23% favourable results.
饮用沱茶的13例样本中的9例甘油三酯水平恢复正常或由正常水平继续降低，有效率达69.23%，结果相当可观。
in 4 cases out of 33, i.e. 30.77% of the cases, the results were NIL. It would be intereating to pursue theinvestigation both in terms of number of cases and into how the tea produces its effect, And our conclusionson the benefit of adding it to the diet of people with high levels of triglycerides can be added to ourpreceding conclusions on hyper-lipids.
33例中的4例，即30.77%的样本，结果为无效果。研究结果表明该样本值得在样本量及作用原理上继续深入探索。在此研究中，我们的结论为，将沱茶加入高甘油三酯水平的人群食谱将有利其甘油三酯水平的降低，这与在高脂研究中得出的结论相辅相成。
EFFECT ON CHOLESTEROL LEVEL/对胆固醇水平的影响
We had 16 cases.
我们检测了16例样本
Normal was fixed at the level of 2.30gr. of CHOLESTEROL
正常胆固醇水平固定为2.30g。
We obtained/我们得到:
2 VERY GOOD results =12.50%of cases(Nos.15，33)
2例效果极佳=总样本12.50%(第15和33号)
3 GOOD results=18.75%of cases(Nos.25，36，39)
3例效果良好=总样本18.75%(第25、36和39号)
3 MEDIUM results=18.75%of cases(Nos.19.23.38)
3例效果一般=总样本18.75%(第19、23和38号)
8 NIL results=50%of cases(Nos.6，8，16，18，27，30，32，40).
8例无效果=总样本50%(第6、8、16、18、27、30、32和40号)
To sum up/小结:
in 31.25% of these cases the use of THO CHA TEA produced good or very good results and, including themedium result cases, a percentage of 50% was achieved. This, I repeat, appears very interesting.
饮用沱茶的样本中31.25%效果良好或极佳，包括一般效果在内，有效百分比达到50%。再次说明，这个结果十分值得关注。
It appears to us equally beneficial to present a comparative study of the effect of this tea on the metabolism oflipids, triglycerides and cholesterol.我们认为，对比研究沱茶对总脂、甘油三酯和胆固醇代谢的影响同样有益。
In the greet majorily of cases (11 out of 15) there is a correlation between the three effects or between two of them; more often than not, lipids and triglycerides. The development of the levels are on a par whether it is a question offavourable or unfavourable effects, as appendix 2 of our report shown.
大部分样本(15例中的11例)显示出三种影响或其中两种之间的相关性，尤其对总脂和甘油三酯。如报告附录2所示，这些脂类水平的变化显示出平行性，不论总体效果有利或不利。
EFFECT ON URIC ACID IN THE BLOOD/对血液中尿酸的影响
Completely independently of our research, we have had the opportunity to observe the development of the levels of uric acid seven times during the taking of the tea.
该研究独立于我们的研究计划，我们额外获得机会7次观察饮用沱茶期间样本尿酸水平的变化。
6 times (Nos.18,19,32,36,38,40) we observed a lowering of the level
我们6次(第18、19、32、36、38和40号)观察到血尿酸水平的降低
Once (no. 27) it became quite heightened, its development following, in this sense, that of the levels oflipids triglycerides and cholesterol.
1次(第27号)该水平相对升高，从这个意义上讲，此变化是与总脂、甘油三酯及胆固醇水平的变化相对应的。
We refrain from drawing any conclusion from that apart from the parallelism of effect, because some patients had followed a light anti-uric therapy.
除影响的相似性外，我们不作其他结论，因为一些病人曾接受过光照降尿酸疗法。
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS/总结
On the whole, if the effect on weight of YUNNAN TUO CHA TEA taken according to our instructions has been shown to be too inconsistent to be taken into consideration, we have been agreeably surprised as regards its effecit on the lipid metabolism, It is indisputably on the levels of triglycerides that, statistically, the results look very encouraging:then in order of decreasing efficacy, the effect on total lipids and cholesterol.
总体上，根据我们的说明，如果饮用云南沱茶对体重的影响因自相矛盾而不作考虑，那么其对脂代谢的作用则令人惊喜。它对甘油三酯水平的影响毋庸置疑，从统计学上讲，此项结果十分令人振奋;对总脂及胆固醇水平的作用效果则依次减弱。
We wish to emphasise that this investigation, conducted without notification of the previous eating habits and without therapeutic additives. Also that enables us to recommend strongly the addition Of YUNNAN TUO CHA TEAto the diet of people with high levels of lipids, as a therapeutic adjuvant necessary in other respects.
我们希望强调的是，此项研究是在不改变以往饮食习惯且无治疗性添加物的条件下进行的。鉴于此，我们强烈建议将云南沱茶加入高脂水平人群的饮食中，作为其他必需疗法的一种辅剂。
It seems to us equally beneficial to have to complete this preliminary study with a study of a larger number of case but we wished to draw the attention of our colleagues quickly to this simple anodyne possibility without side-effect and fully beneficial.
以更大的样本量来完成这项初始研究十分有必要也同样有益，但我们希望尽快引起同行们的注意，来关注这种简单的有百利而无一害的治疗可能。
