問題詳情:
A study of older men in The Netherlands, known for its delicious chocolate, showed those who ate the same amount of one-third of a chocolate bar every day had lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death.
The researchers say, however, it’s too early to conclude that it was the chocolate that led to better health. The men who ate more cocoa products could have eaten other food that made them healthier. Experts also point out that eating too much chocolate can make you fat — a risk for both heart disease and high blood pressure.
“It’s why too early to make recommendations about whether people should eat more cocoa or chocolate,” said Brian Buijsse, an expert for nutrition at Wageningen University in The Netherlands, who co-authored the study.
Still, the Dutch Study, supported by grants (撥款) from the Netherlands Prevention Foundation, appears to be the largest so far to document a health effect for cocoa beans. And it confirms findings of smaller, shorter-term studies that also linked chocolate with lower blood pressure.
Researchers examined the eating habits of 470 healthy men who were not taking blood pressure medicine. The men who ate the most products made from cocoa beans — including cocoa drinks, chocolate bars and chocolate pudding — had lower blood pressure and a 50 percent lower risk of death.
“This is a very important article providing epidemiological support for what many researchers have been observing is experimental models,” said Cesar Fraga of the University of California Davis, who does similar research but was not involved in the new study.
Could the study results apply to women?
“Our study consisted of elderly inch,” Buijsse said. “If you look at the other studies, you will see the same effects in men and women, younger people and older people. The findings may be generalizable to women, but you never know.”
51. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. It has been concluded that the findings are generalizable to women.
B. It needs confirming whether women can share the same effects.
C. The study results cannot apply to women.
D. The findings are applicable to both men and women.
52. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “generalizable?”
A. useful B. popular
C. attractive D. important
53. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To encourage us to eat as much chocolate as possible.
B. To prove to us that eating chocolate can reduce blood pressure.
C. To inform us of a study about the health benefits of chocolate.
D. To warn us not to eat cocoa products because they can make you fat.
