We recently told you that whiskey can be better for you to fight off a cold that over the counter medicine.

Now chocolate may cure that nagging cough!

According to a new study in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, chocolate is a better cough suppressant than actual cough medicine.

There’s an alkaloid in chocolate that does the trick.

Researchers used a chocolate-based medicine in the study but say that just sucking on a piece of chocolate can help, too.

Things like hot chocolate and chocolate milk don’t work as well because they don’t come into contact with your throat for very long.

So savor that chocolate and see if it works!
