Here is another reason to eat chocolate.  It could stop that pesky cough.  Now that's science research that we can get behind.

A study by the Hull Cough Clinic reveals that chocolate may help beat colds and the flu. Professor Alyn Morice says,

'About 300 people with a persistent cough took part in a clinical trial where they were given the naturally occurring chemical theobromine.  It's derived from the raw ingredient of chocolate.  Each person was given chocolate twice a day for 14 days.

According to the study, 60% of patients experience some measure of relief.

Although eating chocolate on a daily basis may have other unwanted effects, including weight gain and so on, we think this is awesome news.  In fact, Lainie thinks it would now be the perfect time to move to Hershey, PA and work her dream job inside those heavenly goodness factories.  Bucky is warning her that she'll gain ten pounds just by breathing in the air in Hershey.
