CHOCOLATE CAN REDUCE COUGHS
A study from London dealt with the effects on coughs of theobromine, an ingredient found in cocoa. British researchers conducted a small study in which they tested theobromine against codeine (used in the most effective prescription cough medicines) They found that theobromine was more effective than codeine as a cough-supressant.
The researchers theorized that theobromine worked by acting on the vagus nerve, which is responsible for coughing.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
