"Brent's comments regarding alternative medicine are interesting. I don't know what research he is talking about that shows "more and more evidence" that these treatments are effective. Most of this research is very badly designed and there are vested interests to be found in the alternative healthcare market too! Theobromine may be a good treatment for cough, but how much chocolate would you have to eat in order to get a therapeutic dose?

"I think this is extremely dangerous for obese or overweight patients as over-consumption of anything (including chocolate) is unhealthy. Although if theobromine can be separated from the calorific content of the chocolate and sold as tablets it'd probably be really effective medicine.

Uh-huh. Why doesn't she keep taking her tablets?

If I've got a cough, chocolate makes it worse.

Toast isn't good for a sore throat.

Why is it they make you eat toast when you've had your tonsils out?

a bit like when you have had a tooth pulled and they tell you to eat a crust. its to help the healing process and stop the flesh staying all soft.
