Feed a cold, starve a fever

24th December 2010 General research, saying. health, science by Matt

I’ve always wondered which way round the saying should go and have never really had a reliable answer from anyone I’ve asked.

So, with a little nifty Googling, the bods over at New Scientist have helped answer this for me. It’s particularly pertinent being as I’ve been struck down with man flu for the best part of the last month!

The maxim “feed a cold, starve a fever” may be right after all, researchers have discovered.

Research – predominantly secondary, desk-based research – but also including advice and consultancy on alternative options and sources of information
