澳洲美食杂志网站刊曾载一篇文章，据称吃巧克力、喝牛奶与获得诺贝尔奖有紧密关系，究竟怎么回事呢？且看以下文章，文章为自行翻译，若有错误，欢迎指正：
Last year, Franz Messerli the Swiss-born director of hypertension program at St Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University in New York published a slightly tongue-in-cheek paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, linking chocolate consumption with winning Nobel prizes.
去年，在圣-卢克罗斯福医院和美国纽约哥伦比亚大学负责高血压（研究）项目的瑞士籍主管弗朗斯.梅瑟利在《新英格兰医学杂志上》轻描淡写的发表了一篇文章，该文章将消耗巧克力与赢得诺贝尔奖联系在了一起。
Messerli found a correlation between a country’s level of chocolate consumption and the number of Nobel laureates per capita. Switzerland came out on top – both in number of laureates and chocolate consumption – closely followed by Sweden and Denmark.
梅瑟利发现一个国家的巧克力消耗水平与该国家诺贝尔获得者人数之间存在关联性，在获得诺贝尔奖的人数及巧克力消耗两个方面，瑞士都是名列首位，而瑞典和丹麦紧随其后。
“Since chocolate consumption has been documented to improve cognitive function, it seems most likely that in a dose-dependent way, chocolate intake provides the abundant fertile ground needed for the sprouting of Nobel laureates,” Messerli said in the paper.
梅瑟利在文章中指出，消耗巧克力被证明能够提升人们的认知，从剂量的依存性角度分析，巧克力的摄入似乎为诺贝尔奖获得者的出现提供了充足的基础。
He also noted that the link did not prove causation between the two.
梅瑟利指出，关于巧克力的消耗与诺贝尔奖之间的关联性的因果关系还没有证明。
And now a team of British researchers has reported that drinking milk is related to winning Nobel prizes. The scientists, from Gloucester Royal Hospital in the UK, analysed milk consumption data from 22 countries and discovered that Sweden had the higher rate of milk and dairy product consumption per capita (340kg per year) and also the highest rate of Nobel Prize winners (33 per 10 million population).
目前，英国的一组研究人员报告说喝牛奶和赢取诺贝尔奖有关联，来自格洛斯特皇家医院的科学家分析了22个国家的牛奶消耗情况，发现瑞典的牛奶消耗保持较高水平，其人均乳制品消耗量达到每人每年340公斤，其也是诺贝尔奖获得者比例最高的国家，平均每千万人口中就有33人获奖。
Switzerland, which followed closely behind with an average dairy consumption of 300kg, has produced 32 laureates (per 10 million population). China, with no Nobel winners, had the lowest dairy consumption with just 25kg per person.
而诺贝尔奖获得者比例仅次于瑞典的瑞士，其人均乳制品消耗量为每人每年300公斤，该国平均每千万人口中有32人获奖。而在没有得过诺贝尔奖的中国（文章似乎把莫言漏掉了），人均乳制品消耗量仅为每人每年25公斤。
Results of the Nobel milk study were published in a letter in the January 2013 issue of Practical Neurology.
有关诺贝尔奖与牛奶之间关联的研究成果发表在2013年的《实用神经病学》1月刊中。
The researchers noted, as did Messerli, that although they found an association between dairy and Nobel laureates, this did not prove a cause and effect relationship.
研究人员表示，与梅瑟利一样，尽管他们发现了乳制品与诺贝尔奖获得者之间存在的关联，但他们也没有弄清楚来龙去脉。
The authors said that the higher levels of dairy consumption could be a reflection of a strong educational system but also suggested that the flavonoid content in chocolate might increase brain function.
上述两篇文章的作者指出乳制品的高消耗水平可能是一种强大教育体系的某种反应，同时，巧克力当中的类黄酮成分可能会提升大脑功能。
“So to improve your chances of winning Nobel Prizes you should not only eat more chocolate but perhaps drink milk, too: or strive for synergy with hot chocolate,” the authors concluded.
文章作者得出结论，想要提升获得诺贝尔奖的机会，你不但需要食用更多的巧克力，可能也需要喝更多的牛奶，或者争取食用更多的巧克力热饮。
