I logged on to try to write some kind of amusing blog entry, filled with amusing anecdotes or mindless ramblings..... but I've had a crappy day and I just don't feel like being perky. :( Thank goodness this week is almost over. Someone pass the chocolate. Today's "FYI"-- An ingredient found in chocolate may help quell allergy-related coughing. Scientists from Imperial College in London gave 10 volunteers theobromine, a compound found in chocolate, then induced coughing with a capsaicin supplement. The compound proved to be nearly three times more effective than codeine-based cough medicine. Theobromine suppresses vagus-nerve activity which causes coughing. (WOMEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE.) So-- I say again.. someone pass the chocolate. :)
