NEW YORK --
It may sound too good to be true, but researchers now say indulging in that piece of chocolate is actually the best cure for your cough.

A research group from a university in England randomly prescribed more than 160 patients either regular cough medicine or a chocolate-based medicine.

Patients on the chocolate-based medication reported improving more quickly than those on regular cough syrup.

Scientists believe the properties of cocoa help relieve irritation and inflammation.

The authors of the study recommended sucking on a piece of chocolate to help relieve cough symptoms.

@Marp I eat chocolate EVERY evening. I can't say it helps my coughing (asthma), but it sure makes me feel happy!

@Brisky I sent the link to DH, he is the chocoholic in the family, also DD, and he said, "bring it on," lol. When he next gets a cold, I will have to lock the chocolate up and dole it out sparingly as he isn't supposed to have sugar.
