Note, however, that zinc is only effective if taken at the onset of the very first symptoms. Personally, I've been using it during the last five years, and it seems effective so far.
- grandalf 16y agoThe article failed to offer a model of what a cold is, how it starts, spreads, etc. You're right about Zinc. In general the article's point was about a one sentence insight, spread into a long fluff piece with the hook of a counter-intuitive zinger.
