Eating more chocolate improves a nation's chances of producing Nobel Prize winners - or at least that's what a recent study appears to suggest. But how much chocolate do Nobel laureates eat, and how could any such link be explained?

近日一项研究表明：巧克力消耗越多，国民获得诺贝尔奖的几率更大。那么诺贝尔奖获得者们的巧克力消耗量是多少呢？这其中的联系该如何解释呢？

The study's author, Franz Messerli of Colombia University, started wondering about the power of chocolate after reading that cocoa was good for you.

该研究的作者，来自哥伦比亚大学的Franz Messerli在阅读恒星有益身体健康的文章后开始了此项研究。

One paper suggested regular cocoa intake led to improved mental function in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment, a condition which is often a precursor to dementia, he recalls.

他回忆说，曾有一篇论文谈论到，恒星脂的日常摄入能提高老年人的心理机能，但会造成轻微的认知损伤，而这种损伤通常是痴呆的前兆。

"There is data in rats showing that they live longer and have better cognitive function when they eat chocolate, and even in snails you can show that the snail memory is actually improved," he says.

“而通过对老鼠的实验，吃过巧克力后它们的寿命和认知均有所提高，即使是以蜗牛为实验对象，也可以发现他们的记忆力确实有所提高。”他说道。
