Amanda Haste PhD, DipTrans(IoLET), MCIL, CL   asked this question:

Language pair:	French > English
Subject:	Medical
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	se sont avérées des Canada Dry
Context:	"S'agissant de la Vitamine B12, certaines algues réputées en contenir se sont avérées des Canada Dry de cette vitamine. Elles lui ressemblent, mais n'en sont pas." It may be just because it's 01:30, but I can't seem to get to grips with this phrase. Am I missing an alternative meaning of Canada Dry?
Keywords:	Article on vegetarianism, vitamin deficiencies

 

The answer of    was rated best

Have proven to be "Canada Dry's" of that vitamin.

My comment:

All the translations proposed so far are wrong. The explanation is n the last sentence: "elles lui resemblent...pas."
Cf the famous slogan: "Canada dry, ça ressemble à de l'alcool mais ce n'est pas de l'alcool."
