      I always heard it as: Feed a cold, starve a fever..... Doing a google search, I find it both ways. Now I'm confused...


      To answer your question: Nutrients.

          They taught us in nursing school that it's alway feed, feed, feed. Never starve yourself. Think nutrition. And sooth with warmed (ok, hot) chicken soup with loads and loads of garlic........

                I've always heard 'starve a cold, feed a fever' as well. I think it's an excuse to eat everything in the house. Go for it!

                If you don't feel like eating, I'll take your share.
