I Love Chocolate

It makes me happy when scientists provide me with good excuses for my vices.

Chocolate as cure for a cough:

“I know this might sound like something out of Mary Poppins,” Alyn Morice, head of cardiovascular and respiratory studies at the University of Hull and founding member of the International Society for the Study of Cough, told the daily Mail. “But as an independent clinician who has spent years researching the mechanism of cough, I can assure you the evidence is actually as solid [as] a bar of Fruit and Nut.”

The whole article is here: http://rare.us/story/chocoholics-rejoice-your-favorite-treat-may-be-the-perfect-cure-for-a-cough/

The article does not say that the chocolate cure works prophylactic but I am sure it in this cold and dark time is a good idea to eat a little more good dark chocolate.

I heard about dark chocolate properties.
I checked it with a sore throat I had and it was a relief and it was also a pleasure. :-)
Dark chocolate is my favorite kind!

I was born 1 mile from the chocolate factory in York, where they made the chocolate at around 10:00am daily, and I think I am addicted. I suffer no ill effects, and am fit and in my 60's, having been a sportsman all my life.
Could it be the chocolate???

I certainly enjoy a bit of quality dark chocolate now and then. Never heard this theory. Will have to remember it the next time I develop a cough. Gee, I think I feel a cough coming on now. :-)
