Grandma Was Right: Chicken Soup Cuts Cold Duration by Two‑and‑a‑Half Days, Says New Study: Turns out the age‑old prescription of a warm bowl and a cozy blanket wasn’t just comfort food theater—it’s bona‑fide therapy. In a sweeping international review, researchers at the University of the West of Scotland combed through 10,000+ papers before zeroing in on four clinical trials that put chicken soup cold duration under the microscope. Their verdict? Slurping down the classic broth trimmed cold misery by an average of 2.5 days while dialing down inflammatory markers like IL‑6 and TNF‑α. “For years chicken soup lived in the realm of folklore,” lead author Dr. Sandra Lucas remarked. “Now it’s crossing the threshold into evidence‑based medicine.”
