Mmm, medicine

[andygates]

According to Wikipedia, theobromine is an effective antitussive.  This is good:

1. Antitussives stop those little annoying coughs allowing enough cough to build for a good productive phlegm-clearer.
2. Theobromine is found in chocolate.
3. Theobromine is found more in dark chocolate, such that about 50g has an effective dose.

This means that the stick of Bournville I just scarfed is medicine.  Clearly, Green & Black's would be better, but you take what's availaible.

The office, which is a hack-bed of lungbutter right now, is investigating this potential palliative with great enthusiasm.

No fair.

You get to eat G&B. I get to sit here twiddling my thumbs impatiently waiting for my bulk order of L-Leucine to turn up.

And it's your fault.

Just leucine or the whole BCAA morass? And where from? Mine was at El Extorto rates from the high street.

Just leucine.

Ooh, discount code! Just as soon as I've necked the current stash, I may do that. Ta :)

So are you really an escaped velociraptor?

IIRC, that was lysine.

Leucine is the one that Max in Dark Angel needs to take.

Go on. You can laugh.

Magnificent.
