 Maybe it's time to try something other than megadoses of vitamin C to ward off
the common cold. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh, say
that their studies show a close link between colds and stress.

In the May 1998 issue of Health Psychology, a journal of the American
Psychological Association, the Pittsburgh scientists report that chronic
stress -- that which lasts a month or more -- plays a major part in a person's
susceptibility to infection from cold viruses. The researchers further point
out that the two stress inducers that put a person most at risk of catching
cold were being unemployed or underemployed, or having difficulties with
friends or relatives.

 When researchers compared different groups of people to those who were subject
to simple, routine stress, they discovered that individuals who experienced
severe stress for more than a month but less than six were twice as likely to
develop cold symptoms. For individuals whose stress extended beyond two years,
the risk quadrupled. People with interpersonal difficulties were at twice the
risk for colds. Work-related stress increased the risk by three and a half
times.

 So when the cold season comes around this year, why not forget the vitamin C
and, instead, enroll in a stress-reduction program -- especially if it's
company-sponsored.
