Chocolate is loaded with calories, but its fattening potential is
offset by its positive metabolic effects. In a study, more than
1,000 men and women reported their chocolate consumption
over a week and had their body mass index (BMI) measured.
Those who ate chocolate more frequently had lower BMIs than
those who didn’t eat as much, despite the fact that chocolate
lovers consumed more calories overall and didn’t exercise more
than the others. Eating chocolate five or more times a week on
a regular basis can translate into a one-point drop in BMI on
average, compared with those who don’t eat it. While chocolate
may not cause weight loss, its health benefits, which stem from
its antioxidants, may help the body absorb fewer calories from
fat, thus tipping the scale toward a slimmer figure. Which is not
too good to be true.

글의 주제는 “the merits of eating chocolate despite its caloric content”(칼로리에도 불구하고 초콜릿을 먹는 것의 이점)이다.
첫 문장의 “its fattening potential is offset by its positive metabolic effects”(살찌게 할 가능성이 긍정적인 대사 효과로 상쇄된다)가 핵심이고, 초콜릿을 자주 먹는 사람의 BMI가 더 낮았다는 연구가 이를 뒷받침한다.
“the link between chocolate consumption and heart disease”(초콜릿 섭취와 심장병의 관련성)는 글에 심장병 내용이 없어 맞지 않는다.
“the differences in chocolate consumption by gender”(성별에 따른 초콜릿 섭취 차이)는 연구 대상이 “men and women”일 뿐 성별 비교는 없어 맞지 않는다.
“the influence of exercise on antioxidant levels”(운동이 항산화 수준에 미치는 영향)는 운동을 더 하지 않았다는 언급만 있을 뿐 글의 내용이 아니다.
