"Another recent study showed that zinc lozenges were useless in warding off colds in children. Sponsored by Quigley Corp., a Pennsylvania manufacturer of zinc lozenges, researchers enrolled 249 suburban Cleveland students in grades one through 12. Half began taking zinc lozenges within 24 hours of developing a cold, while half took placebos." "Cold symptoms and duration of illness were the same in both groups. But the lead researcher said the problem may have been that dosages were too low, or even that the flavoring in the lozenges somehow deactivated the zinc." "And now the manufacturer is challenging the results, saying 83 of the youngsters should have been disqualified for various reasons. "The data that resulted from the study provides no meaningful conclusion," the company said." Message 14740743
