THE UCLA EVIDENCE: No wonder chicken soup is a fabled remedy for colds: It contains druglike agents, similar to those in modern cold remedies, says Irwin Ziment, M.D., pulmonary specialist and professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. For example, cysteine, an amino acid released from chicken when cooking, chemically resembles the drug acetylcysteine, prescribed for bronchitis and other respiratory problems. Pungent ingredients often added to chicken soup, such as garlic, cayenne pepper and curry spices, all are ancient treatments for respiratory diseases. They work the same way as expectorant drugs and cough medicines, thinning mucus and making breathing easier. The more garlic and hot spices added to chicken soup, Zimert says, the better the soup will be at clearing your lungs. His bottom line: "Chicken soup is probably the best therapy there is for a cold." astray.com
