Chocolate could be cough medicine
An ingredient of chocolate could put a stop to persistent coughs and lead to new, more effective cough medicines, research suggests.
Scientists found the key ingredient, theobromine, is nearly a third more effective in stopping persistant coughs than the leading medicine codeine.
They say it produces fewer side effects than conventional treatment - and would not leave people drowsy.
The research, led by Imperial College London, is publshed in FASEB journal.
