A chocolate guinea pig (I want to be)

Every couple of years a research article is published on the benefits of dark chocolate for people with ME/CFS. While I should mention that none of these people have been cured, nonetheless they report feeling better when eating chocolate when compared with sufferers eating something that has the same colour & consistency as chocolate, but which is not chocolate.

I know. Unbelievable.

Now I'm no scientician. But I applaud this medical research from laudable institutes such as Nestle, Mars, & Hull University (one of the world's top 500 universities). In fact I really want to know how I can get in on one of these studies. For purely scientific reasons you understand. I just want to give something back to the community. And if this is one way I can contribute to the development of medical science, then I am willing to donate my body for the cause.

In the meantime I am conducting a little bit of background research. Knowledge is power.
