The findings come from a study of nearly 1,000 US people that looked at diet, calorie
intake
and
body
mass
index (BMI)—a measure of obesity. 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 components that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis (合成), scientists believe. Despite boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, which is published in Archives of Internal Medicine. The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account. According to the researchers, there is only one chance in 100 that their findings could be explained by chance alone. Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their impact on weight.” This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may
be
healthy
for
us.
Other
studies
have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level.
