Chocolate said to be effective cure for a cough
Good news for chocoholics and cough-sufferers worldwide. A European study has found that chocolate can be an effective method for treating coughs, and the delicious results have been backed by a leading respiratory medicine expert.
The study involved over-the-counter cough remedies, some of which contained cocoa.
Patients who took the medicine that contained cocoa reported significant improvement regarding their coughs and sense of sleeplessness within two days, while those who took conventional cough syrup had to wait a little longer to report the same results.
While this all sounds too good to be true, the findings have been backed by Professor Alyn Morice, head of cardiovascular and respiratory studies at the University of Hull.
Professor Morice told the Daily Mail, “Chocolate can calm coughs. I know that might sound like something out of Mary Poppins, but as an independent clinician who has spent years researching the mechanism of cough, I can assure you the evidence is actually as solid a bar of Fruit and Nut.”
