Donate your chocolate-craving body to science

chocolate for studyYou've seen them before. Those fliers tacked onto telephone poles (wait, do such things still exist?!), duct taped to street light posts, or even stapled onto the bulletin board in your doctor's office: "Wanted: women for a [insert health condition here] study."

You've never thought about actually volunteering for one of those studies.

Until now.

Researchers in the UK want 150 women who are willing to eat one bar of chocolate every day for a year. The study's purpose is to determine whether a natural compound found in cocoa, the main ingredient of chocolate, could cut the risk of heart disease among women with diabetes.

Unfortunately, you don't get to pick which chocolate you get to eat. A Belgian chocolatier has created a chocolate especially for this study.
