"Wanted: British women to eat chocolate for a year"

"Scientists in Britain are looking for women willing to eat chocolate every day for a year -- all in the name of medical science.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and a hospital in Norwich, eastern England are trying to find out whether chocolate can cut the risk of heart disease and need 40 women to step forward and help.

Most of the women will have to eat two bars of "super-strength chocolate specially formulated by Belgian chocolatiers" daily for one year and undergo several tests to measure how healthy their hearts are.

The others will have to eat regular chocolate as a placebo."

there has to be a catch.......

" volunteers for the research should be menopausal but aged under 75 and have type two diabetes."

Darn!

I guess an American woman with lupus doesn't qualify... :-(

Dang!

Can I still eat regular chocolate as a placebo?

"and have type two diabetes."

Well - if you don't have type two diabeties now I think you would get it after eating two bars of chocolate every day for a year.

What is regular chocolate? Do you have to eat it every 15 minutes? Or does it pass through in 30 minutes?

Or do they mean ordinary chocolate, and if so what is that?
