Brace yourselves, people. Researchers in Sweden have discovered that an ingredient in the saliva of Gila monsters can help curb cravings for chocolate and possibly other foods. You heard me, lizard spit. (Frankly, I don't think the good folks in Sweden have quite enough to do with themselves, but what do I know?) Now, I live in Arizona where Gila monsters are gallavanting all around, and I still wouldn't know where to go to get a good dose of spit. We found one in the backyard once, but we were too busy running around like idiots trying to keep the dogs away from it to collect a sample (which happens to be poisonous, by the way!!). As for those of you in other parts of the country, good luck with this one. I'll let you know as soon as I find lizard spit capsules on our shelves. Who knew?!?

I can't imagine WHY I would WANT to curb my delight with CHOCOLATE. Particularly, I would not even consider using lizard spit.
An excellent point, Granny Blogger! And all the more reason to suspect that the Swedes, God love them, simply do not have enough to do. I suggest that we keep enjoying our chocolate and let them play with the poisonous lizards.
