"The widespread practice of using zinc and copper supplements to treat diarrhoea may not be effective, research by an Indian team suggests.They don't.
A team from Lata Medical Research Foundation assessed the effects of the supplements on 808 children in Nagpur.
The BMC Medicine study found they were no more effective at reducing symptoms than a dummy pill...
The researchers found supplements had little effect on how long diarrhoea lasted, how much diarrhoea the children produced, or how much need they had of oral rehydration salts or intravenous fluids."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
