Good news for chocoholics: the treat preferred by millions all over the world is good for you, according to American researchers at the University of California. Chocolate contains substances called flavonoids that can help maintain a healthy heart and good circulation. The researchers have discovered that cocoa acts like aspirin and that eating a bar of chocolate has also been shown to release endorphins in the body: these chemicals help to reduce pain and stress and make you feel happy.
The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central America were the first to grow cocoa beans, in aboutl500 B.C., and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened coca hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe.
In 1544, a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal. The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their cocoa drink.
By the middle of the century, solid chocolate was becoming familiar. In 1765, James Baker and John Hanan opened the first chocolate mill in the United States, introducing chocolate to the average citizen. In 1896, in Switzerland, Daniel Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate-making process and produced the first milk chocolate.
Since then, chocolate has grown enormously in popularity. One of the biggest chocolate-eating nations is Britain where the average man, women, and child eats nine kilos of chocolate a year. In fact, chocolate is the number one comfort food and there are more chocoholics in Britain than any where else in the world. Researchers warn that although chocolate is good for you, it should be eaten in small quantities and with no added milk.
Which is the following statement is not true according to the passage?
选项
A、Chocolate contains substances that make people feel happy.
B、Chocolate is good for health if it is eaten with added milk.
C、Eating chocolate occasionally contributes to a healthy diet.
D、Chocolate is loved by millions of people worldwide.
答案
B
解析
原文是:“研究者们警告虽然巧克力对我们有好处,但应该少量食用而且不应另加奶。”故答案为B。
