Found this on Wikipedia [link] and it makes me wonder just how much theobromine is in a square of 100% cacao baking chocolate.
Recent studies have found that theobromine, a compound found in cacao, is more effective as a cough suppressant than prescription codeine. This compound suppresses the "itch" signal from the nerve in the back of the throat that causes the cough reflex. It is possible to get an effective dose (1 g, though 0.5 g may be sufficient)[3] from 50g of dark chocolate, which contains 2 to 10 times more cacao than milk chocolate. Cocoa powder contains roughly 0.1 g per tablespoon (5g).[4] Theobromine was also free from side effects in the blind tests.[5]
Also, why am I complaining about having a cough when it is clearly a message from On High that I need to eat more chocolate.
huh ... my mother always told me that chocolate was bad for a sore throat and/or cough. Obviously, she lied ... probably wanted to keep all the chocolate for herself.
I think it's probably the milk in chocolate that's the problem if you've already got a cough? Because dairy makes you all phlegmy, and if you're already all phlegmy and disgusting then it's a bad idea?
Aw, Barb and Andi- I hope your bodies start behaving themselves soon!
Ugh, I have the hiccups.

Jasmine the Lab does too. And she's lying on my feet at the end of the bed. Feels like I dropped a quarter into it or something. Makes typing interesting.

I thought that was a myth?

Isn't that the substance that can kill dogs? If it is, you could probably search that way -- IIRC, when Dallas ate an 80% dark chocolate bar out of my purse there were "should I rush her to the vet?" websites that listed those amounts.
What's a good corset buying site(s)? I can't remember recommendations.
I got mine from Meschantes -- though not custom -- and it's fantastic. Very VERY well made.
Meschantes -- that was the one I couldn't think of last night.
So Possibly the first recruiter from yesterday called again this am -- 730. He seemed sosurprised that Matt was in the shower.
Best get well soon video ever!
Warnings: noisy and heart-breaking clementine photography.
