最受吃货欢迎的研究：常吃巧克力会变瘦

A new research suggests that people who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, the BBC reported。

The findings come from a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI). It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally。

Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains ingredients that may favor weight loss rather than fat synthesis, scientists believe。

And it appears it is how often you eat chocolate that is important, rather than how much of it you eat. The study found no link with quantity consumed。

常吃巧克力的人较瘦

据英国广播公司报道，一项新研究表明，经常吃巧克力的人比较瘦。

该发现是经过研究近1000名美国人而得出的结果。研究调查了他们的饮食习惯、卡路里摄入量和体重指数，发现从平均水平上看一周吃几回巧克力的人比偶尔吃巧克力的人瘦。

科学家认为，即使巧克力含有很多卡路里，但其还含有有助于减肥而非脂肪合成的成分。

另外，重要的是吃巧克力的频率，而非吃多少。该研究没有发现与巧克力食用量之间的联系。
