Chocolate is good for health

It was not too long ago that we reported that consuming chocolate made women more amorous; so chocolates make perfect romantic gift to a woman.

Now research completed at the Imperial College London shows that theobromine, a derivative found in cocoa, is nearly a third more effective in stopping persistent coughs when compared with codeine, currently considered the best cough medicine. Theobromine works by suppressing vagus nerve activity, which is responsible for causing coughing. The team also discovered that unlike standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no adverse effects on either the cardiovascular or central nervous systems.
