Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, believes that chewing gum and chocolate can become effective 'weapons' that help the world repel malaria.
Through his charity, billionaire Bill Gates has donated $ 100,000 to research programs in the hope of finding new ways to combat some malaria.
Gum will help saliva very easily and does not cause pain as a blood-taking measure. It is expected that this method will be applied primarily to children. Currently, the method of checking for detection of salivary malaria is uncommon by blood test.

The idea of Dr. Andrew Fung, working on malaria screening at the University of California - USA, will receive a donation from Bill Gates' charity fund.
Meanwhile, Dr. Steven Maranz, a researcher at the US-based Medical University of Weill, will also receive funding for his work on the effect of chocolate on the parasite of blood malaria .
Chocolate is a potential substance in malaria research, because it works to reduce cholesterol in the blood. Thereby reducing the amount of blood fat - a major energy source that helps malaria viruses survive in the human body.
Dr. Maranz wants to destroy the parasitic malaria virus in the blood that he wants to keep some of these viruses to help the body of children produce antibodies to fight malaria. His research will look at a number of substances that reduce the amount of parasitic malaria virus, but he thinks chocolate is the 'candidate' best suited because it meets the requirements and is very safe.
Expected, chocolate 'medicine' will be produced in liquid form, like hot chocolate. However, Dr. Steven Maranz affirmed: 'These are exploratory tests. There is no evidence that this method will succeed. '
