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.

常吃巧克力的人較瘦
???????據英國廣播公司報道，一項新研究表明，經常吃巧克力的人比較瘦。
???????該發現是經過研究近1000名美國人而得出的結果。研究調查了他們的飲食習慣、卡路里攝入量和體重指數，發現從平均水平上看一周吃幾回巧克力的人比偶爾吃巧克力的人瘦。
???????科學家認為，即使巧克力含有很多卡路里，但其還含有有助于減肥而非脂肪合成的成分。
???????另外，重要的是吃巧克力的頻率，而非吃多少。該研究沒有發現與巧克力食用量之間的聯系。
