"巧克力沒有你想的那樣不好"

幾乎每個人三不五時都喜歡盡情享受一下巧克力，但是我們多半都會盡量避免經常這樣做，因為我們都知道，這樣對你並不好。但是巧克力是不健康的看法究竟有多真實呢？當然它不是世上最好的食物，但是許多有關它的壞話卻是不實的。

首先，儘管巧克力含有咖啡因，但是含量並不高–大約是一杯普通咖啡的5%到10%。另一個與普遍看法相反的事實就是它的飽和脂肪也沒有那麼高。更重要的是巧克力含有的飽和脂肪會在大量食用後轉變成害處較少的脂肪。

巧克力確實含有高度熱量，所以如果你吃太多，你的體重會增加。但是搭配均衡飲食適度食用時，巧克力並不會使人變胖。研究顯示少量的巧克力，最好是黑巧克力，可以透過內含的抗氧化劑和消炎特質改善你的健康。

(Health) Chocolate May Not Be as Bad as You Think

Almost everyone likes to indulge in chocolate every now and then, but most of us try not to do it too often because, as we all know, its bad for you. But exactly how true is the belief that chocolate is unhealthy? Certainly its not the best food in the world, but a lot of bad things have been said about the stuff that simply arent true.

Firstly, while chocolate does contain caffeine, it doesnt have high levels of the stuff V only about 5-10% as much as the average cup of coffee. Contrary to popular belief, its not particularly high in saturated fat either. More importantly, the saturated fats contained in chocolate will be converted into less harmful fats when eaten in large quantities.

Chocolate does contain large quantities of energy, so if you eat too much of it, you can put on weight. But when eaten in regulated quantities as part of a balanced diet, chocolate will not result in weight gain. Studies have shown that small amounts of chocolate, preferably dark chocolate, can actually improve your health as it contains antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.
