"If you are battling a late-season cold (we have one here in our house!) consider this remedy that researchers say works... You&amp;#x27;ve heard of zinc as a cold remedy, right? But does it work? Yes, say Canadian researchers who conducted a rigorous review of past studies, and found that zinc supplements can cut a cold in half and dull the annoying symptoms. That&amp;#x27;s great news, but, zinc-takers be warned: common side effects of taking the supplement may include a.) slight nausea, and/or b.) a metallic taste in your mouth. Have you ever taken zinc to blunt a cold? Did it work for you? P.S. Yikes, could the common cold make you fat? And, something you do want to catch: happiness, it&amp;#x27;s also contagious!
