If you wanted an excuse to eat chocolate and marshmallows here's a great excuse!  If you have been feeling a bit under the weather and suffering from a sore throat and/or a cough... chocolate and marshmallows could be the answer for some relief.

This sounds so much better than the nasty tasting cough syrup or some medicine tasting throat lozenge.  I'm not saying that it's going to be the best thing for your waistline, so practice the "everything in moderation" theory, but this sounds like a win to me.  You feel yucky, so have some chocolate and marshmallows.

Granted, the chocolate study was only conducted on 10 people, so it's a very small study... but that's good enough for me!  The marshmallow theory, I have tried that myself and it really does seem to work.  At least as a temporary fix.

So now that we are in the full swing of the cough and sore throat season, why not give it a shot... might help... won't hurt.
