Good news for chocoholics:the treat preferred by millions all over the world is good for you,according
to American researchers at the University of California. Chocolate contains substances called flavonoids（类黄
酮)that can help maintain a healthy heart and good circulation.The researchers have discovered that cocoa
acts like aspirin and that eating a bar of chocolate once in a while may contribute to a healthy diet. Chocolate
has also been shown to release endorphins（内啡肽) in the body: these chemicals help to reduce pain and
stress and make you feel happy.
But who first discovered this wonderful way of keeping healthy?The Olmec Indians of Mexico and Central
America were the first to grow cocoa beans,in about 1500 BC,and the Mayas were drinking unsweetened
cocoa hundreds of years before it became fashionable in Europe.The word chocolate comes from the Nahuatl
word xocolati,which means"bitter water".
In 1544,a delegation of Mayan nobles visited Philip of Spain and gave him jars of cocoa as a gift. Cocoa
soon became fashionable in Spain and Portugal.The Spanish were the first to add sugar to their cocoa drink.
In the 17th century,chocolate was becoming fashionable with the middle-classes,not only as a drink but also
as a medicine.
By the middle of the century,solid chocolate was becoming familiar. In 1753,a Swedish scientist re-
named cocoa theobroma or" food for the gods".In 1765,James Baker and John Hanan opened the first choco-
late mill in the United States,introducing chocolate to the average citizen.In 1876,in Switzerland,Daniel
Peter had the idea of adding milk in the chocolate,making process and produced the first milk chocolate.
Since then,chocolate has grown enormously in popularity. One of the biggest chocolate-eating nations is
Britain where the average man,woman,and child eats nine kilos of chocolate a year!In fact,chocolate is the
number one comfort food and there are more"chocoholics"in Britain than anywhere else in the world.Re-
searchers warn that although chocolate is good for you,it should be eaten in small quantities and with no
