hull - Forget cough medicine! The only drug that really works in a nasty cough is chocolate. According to a study by Professor Alyn Morice cough expert from the University of Hull.

         Specialty drinks, honey, licorice and lemon are palliatives, says Professor Morice. Because of the structure and dryness of chocolate which will stick in the throat. How stropiger, the better. As a result, nerve ends are covered with a layer of cocoa and other cough-suppressing components. That means they are no longer stimulated and cause coughing. Chocolate is too liquid and therefore less effective.
The pharmaceutical companies have now also discovered chocolate as a panacea. Cough Pill cases in which cocoa was incorporated in place of the usual codeine work better, according to the study.
Yet another striking finding of the survey: there is only one kind of cough. Terms such as barbed or dry cough in packages are marketing terms to increase sales.
