chocolatecough : Chocolate as a cough remedy?

 Would you believe that some researchers think chocolate is a cough remedy? It tastes better than cough medicine, and now researchers think it may be better at relieving coughs, too. Dark chocolate may have health benefits to weigh against fears of tooth decay or putting on weight. (Riiiiight!) A chemical compound, theobromine, which is found in cocoa, has proved more effective at stopping persistent coughing than codeine. |
 Doses used in the tests were equivalent to a 50g bar of dark chocolate, but the researchers said bigger doses might be more effective. No comments yet from Dentists. I'm sure they will be thrilled by this research (no doubt, they financed this study!). |

 Tests have so far involved only 10 people and larger studies are needed, according to a team from Imperial College and the Royal Brompton and St Bartholomew's hospitals in London and a Hungarian company. They described their work in an online journal published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. |
