吃糖真的不會發胖？Tuck in!

Tuck in! Eating sweets regularly DOESN'T make you more likely to be fat or develop heart disease.
盡情吃吧!有規律的吃糖并不會增加你發胖和患心臟病的風險。

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，適量的吃糖并不會造成肥胖或者心臟病。這項研究的對象涵蓋5000個美國人，表明身體狀況不佳與有規律的吃糖之間沒有必然關系。至少那些每隔一天都會吃糖的人超重和患心血管病的幾率并不比每周或更短時間吃一次糖的人大。
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，當然這一結果并不足以證明我們可以無限制的吃糖，只不過大多數人在吃糖的時候不需要顧及患肥胖癥和心臟病的風險。至于糖類和巧克力究竟在人們生命中起著什么作用，還有待做出更多研究。
