When you love chocolate you may also eat a lot of it. But wait just a minute. Isn't that bad for our health?
There are different ways to look at chocolate and health. Some people think that chocolate gives people pimples（痘痘）and bad teeth, has very little nutrition（营养）and makes people fat. But some scientists say that eating chocolate makes people feel happy and excited. They say if we don't eat too much, chocolate is OK.
US researchers（研究职员）also said that dark chocolate is good for the heart. They say something in it can make the heart's arteries（动脉）get bigger and help blood move through your body better.
If people eat too much __________ , their teeth will get bad. The sugar in chocolate can be bad for the teeth, but the cocoa butter（可可油）can be good for them.
Chocolate also has a lot of fat in it. The fat gives us too much cholesterol（胆固醇）,and that can be bad for the heart. So it is best to just eat a little at a time.
Dark chocolate is better for the heart than milk chocolate. Also, dark chocolate has less fat. But with over 300 chemicals（化学物质）in chocolate, there is still a lot we don't know.
So feel free to enjoy a chocolate bar, but take it easy. Save the other one for later!
