New Year's celebrations call for refreshing drinks. A great-tasting
punch from Lebanon County Dairy Princess Andrea Bashore is Frosty
Apple Delight. Milk punch is sometimes referred to as refreshing and
nutritious dairy “mocktails,” because the drinks mock the alcoholic
ones. These non-alcoholic beverages are delicious and good for you.

Zinc, vitamin C might
help cold symptoms
Is vitamin Cor zinc
better for colds?
There is some evidence that both
can reduce the symptoms of the
common cold, although scientific
consensus remains up in the air.
Zinc made headlines last year
whentheClevelandClinicpublished
a study of 100 cold sufferers who
took lozenges containing 13.3
milligrams of zinc lozenges or
placebos. Coughs, headaches, sore
throats and nasal congestion
tended to clear up one to three
days earlier in those who took the
zinc lozenges. However, many of
the participants taking the zinc
lozenges reported a bad taste in
their mouths, and a good portion
said they felt nauseous.
Researchers said the zinc must
be taken within the first 24 hours
that symptoms appear. Study
participants took one lozenge every
two hours—which meant thatsome
took as much as 106 milligrams of
zinc per day. That's more than seven
times the Recommended Dietary
Allowance for adult men. And
nutritionists warn against taking
that much zinc on a regular basis.
Too much zinc can impair the
immune system, reduce high
density lipoproteins the "good*
cholesterol and interfere with
the body'sability to absorb another
nutrient, copper.
Vitamin C has also been the

subject of several studies in relation
to relieving cold symptoms. A few
studies indicate that vitamin C
might be a natural antihistamine,
reducing a cold’s symptoms of
swollen nasal tissue, for example.
And at least one study indicates
that vitamin C might help some
people, in some circumstances,
fight off colds.
The study appeared in 1993 in
the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition. In it, only 14 percent of
long-distance runners who took6oo
milligrams of vitamin C daily for
three weeks before a 64-mile race
suffered from upperrespiratoiy tract
infections, while a whopping 68
percent of the runners who took a
placebo became infected. However,
the researchers could find no
difference between vitamin C and a
placebo in non-runners. The reason
could be that longdistance running
puts a lot of stress the body and
lowers its resistance to infection.
In such extreme circumstances,
vitamin C might help.
One good thing; Overdosing on
vitamin C has few, if any, side
effects. The Recommended Dietary
Allowance is 60 milligrams daily.
What the body doesn’t need, it
flushes out of its system.
