吃糖真的不用担心发胖

Tuck in! Eating sweets regularly DOESN'T make you more likely to be fat or develop heart disease.
尽情吃吧！有规律的吃糖并不会增加你发胖和患心脏病的风险。

When it comes to sweets, a little of what you fancy won’t make you obese or trigger a heart attack, new research reveals. A study of more than 5,000 Americans found no link between poor health and eating sweets regularly.Those who consumed sweets at least every other day were no more likely to be overweight or be at greater risk of cardiovascular disease than others who treated themselves about once a week or less, the research found.
最近的研究表明，适量的吃糖并不会造成肥胖或者心脏病。这项研究的对象涵盖5000个美国人，表明身体状况不佳与有规律的吃糖之间没有必然关系。至少那些每隔一天都会吃糖的人超重和患心血管病的几率并不比每周或更短时间吃一次糖的人大。

The researchers said the results certainly do not provide evidence sweets can be consumed without limits, but suggest most people treat themselves without increasing their risk of obesity or heart disease. They added that more research is needed to further understand the role sweets and chocolate play in life .
研究者表示，当然这一结果并不足以证明我们可以无限制的吃糖，只不过大多数人在吃糖的时候不需要顾及患肥胖症和心脏病的风险。至于糖类和巧克力究竟在人们生命中起着什么作用，还有待做出更多研究。
