This is great news for all chocolate lovers. The research team followed the chocolate eating habits and health of almost 20,000 people. They study how much chocolate was in their daily food to the number of heart attacks(心脏病发作) and strokes(中风) people had. Lead researcher Brian Buijsse said,“ The good news is that chocolate is not as bad as we used to think, and may even lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.” Mr. Buijsse said his team found that dark chocolate was the healthiest kind to eat.“ Dark chocolate shows the greatest effects(影响), milk chocolate fewer, and white chocolate no effects,” he said. The German study showed that people who ate the most chocolate ( at least one bar a week) reduced their risk of having a heart attack by 27% . The risk of getting a stroke was cut by as much as 48%. Some experts believe that flavanols(黄烷醇) in chocolate are good for our hearts. They also help reduce blood pressure. Flavanols can be found in cocoa beans, so dark chocolate( which has more cocoa) has more of them than milk chocolate( which has more fat). However, Buijsse tells people not to suddenly eat lots of chocolate.“ Eating higher amounts of chocolate will most likely result in weight gain. If people start eating small amounts of chocolate, it should take the place of something else, such as other high calorie sweets.” 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。 26. What is the good news for the chocolate lovers?
