問題詳情
請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題 Are you one of the millions of people who call themselves a chocoholic? Do you get weak in the knees when youwalk past a chocolate shop? Do you fall victim to midnight chocolate cravings? Don’t worry, there’s no judgment here.
Chocolate does indeed feel addictive, and here’s why: When we eat sweet or high-fat foods, our brains get as happyas our taste buds. Sugary and fatty foods cause the brain to release serotonin, which helps stabilize our moods and wardoff depression. And because these foods activate the pleasure centers in the brain, studies show that people can becomedependent on sugar and fat in their food.
But does chocolate fit the true definition of addictive? Let’s look at the science. Three components make upaddiction—an intense craving, a loss of control over the object of that craving, and the continued use of that objectdespite negative consequences. Studies show people can exhibit these behaviors with certain foods. The studies evenshowed similar brain activity between drug addicts and participants presented with chocolate milkshakes. However, thesesituations are extreme and don’t account for the majority of the population.
Another study conducted in 1994 on some chocolate lovers showed interesting results. Participants were givenpackets to eat whenever they experienced a chocolate craving. Some packets contained chocolate, some white chocolate(which does not contain the active elements of chocolate), and some a tasteless capsule filled with cocoa. By scientificreasoning, if chocolate is indeed addictive, the capsules with cocoa should be enough to fill the chocoholic need. Theydidn’t. Participants chose the white chocolate over the capsules, even though it contained none of the compounds ofregular chocolate.
The general consensus is that we crave and seek out chocolate simply because it tastes really, really good—notbecause it’s addictive. In a weight-obsessed culture, many of us have learned to see it as a forbidden pleasure, whichmakes us want it more. And that’s why it feels so very addictive.

你是數百萬人稱自己是一個酒精的人之一嗎？當您走過巧克力店時，膝蓋膝蓋軟弱嗎？你是否成為午夜巧克力渴望的犧牲品？別擔心，這裡沒有判斷。n巧克力確實令人上癮，這就是為什麼：當我們吃甜或高脂肪的食物時，我們的大腦像我們的味蕾一樣快樂。含糖和脂肪的食物會使大腦釋放5-羥色胺，這有助於穩定我們的心情，防止抑鬱症。而且因為這些食物激活大腦中的樂趣中心，所以研究表明，人們可以依靠食物中的糖和脂肪。n但巧克力是否適合上癮的真正定義？我們來看看科學。三個組成部分成癮 - 強烈的渴望，失去對渴望的對象的控制，以及繼續使用該對象，儘管有負面後果。研究表明，人們可以用某些食物展示這些行為。研究甚至顯示了吸毒者和參加巧克力奶...
