Yeah! Go ahead, have a hot cocoa, just make it with more hot water than milk. So many chocolate lovers aren't wrong about their comfort food.....

Quote:
An ingredient found in cocoa beans was nearly a third more effective than cough medicine in stopping persistent coughs, researchers at Imperial College London found. The ingredient, theobromine, contributes to the bitter taste of cocoa. It works by suppressing vagus nerve activity, which is responsible for coughing. LINK
