LONDON (AFP) – Scientists 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.

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

You can have all the chocolate you want!

Oh, I'm ready. Chocolate is worth fighting for!

Oh for Pete’s sake.
You’re SUCH a sore loser!!!
I, on the other hand, am about ready to get very FAT!!
Whatawaytogo!!

Fine. We can both get fat...

Ah - but read the restrictions on qualifying as a subject.
Just goes to show: The large print giveth and the small print taketh away!
