Cure for Colds: Echinacea No - Chocolate Yes!

Studies show consumers should not waste their money on the over the counter Echinacea, but should buy chocolate instead. The studies found that the herbal treatment Echinacea only slightly delayed the cold symptoms.

It was found that a naturally-occurring substance in cocoa - theobromine - can prevent the key features of persistent cough.

Researchers want to find a non-drug answer with little side effects for the consumers. Chocolate seems to be a promising answer.
