********************
A BBC news report quoted a study conducted on 1,000 people that showed that eating chocolate may keep you thin. It said that those who regularly ate chocolate were more likely to be thinner than those who occasionally eat it. Other studies have also shown how chocolate may improve people’s health such as heart condition and blood pressure. Such studies seem to go against common-sense which would indicate that eating more chocolate would make you fatter! Indeed we all know people who seem to eat anything and everything and never get fat. But we also have friends who merely look at chocolate and gain weight. Which one are you?
