1.Chocolate will keep you awake
巧克力能讓人保持清醒
The people who spout this myth are trying to tell you that chocolate contains loads of caffeine and that is going to give you a sleepless night! This is false, as the actual amount of caffeine in a chocolate bar is about the same as that of a cup of decaffeinated coffee. The cocoa bean contains only about 0.5% caffeine while dry coffee beans have 1.2% caffeine.
說這些話的人就是想告訴你巧克力里面含有大量的咖啡因，吃了之后會睡不著覺。這點是錯誤的，因為巧克力所含的咖啡因和不含咖啡因的咖啡中的量是一樣的�？Х榷怪兄缓�有0.5%的咖啡因，但是干咖啡豆中含有1.2%的咖啡因。
2.Chocolate could give you a stroke
巧克力會引起中風(fēng)
Provided you eat moderate amounts of dark chocolate (74% of cocoa solids), you could cut the risk of stroke by 22%. Those people who did get a stroke were 45% less likely to die if they had consumed moderate amounts of chocolate on a regular basis.
假如你適量的黑巧克力，中風(fēng)的風(fēng)險能降低22%。如果那些中風(fēng)之人能適量的吃點黑巧克力死亡的幾率能降低45%。
3.Chocolate will give you acne
巧克力會引起粉刺
Teenagers are usually told this but there is no scientific evidence at all that this is the case. If there is too much sebum, then this could block pores and lead to acne. But all the studies done so far have debunked this theory and there is simply not enough evidence to support it.
青少年通常都知道這些，但這是沒有科學(xué)依據(jù)的。如果皮脂過多，會堵塞毛孔、引起痤瘡。但至今為止只是有學(xué)說揭示了這點，但并沒有理論支持。
4.Chocolate will not affect your mood in any way
巧克力會影響心情
Your good mood depends on the serotonin chemical, which can help boost your mood and avoid mood swings. This may be a problem for women going through the menopause. Now, chocolate can help because it contains tryptophan which can stimulate the production of serotonin.
你的心情狀況是由你身體中的血清素，它能幫你擁有好心情，調(diào)節(jié)心態(tài)。這可能在女性更年期的時候不太受用�，F(xiàn)在，巧克力能有幫助是因為其中含有色氨酸，能刺激血清素的分泌。
5.Chocolate will make you fat
吃巧克力會長胖
Yes, it will, if you eat lots and lots of it! But in moderation, chocolate can help you in many ways. For example, a single portion of 70% chocolate can give you the same amount of protein that you would get from a cup of broccoli. It also can give you fiber. All this means that you feel full.
巧克力吃太多當(dāng)然會長胖。但如果適量的話，巧克力對身體有很多好處。比如說，一份巧克力的70%就和一杯椰汁能提供的蛋白質(zhì)量一樣。也還能供給你纖維素。這就是說你能有飽腹感。
