Topping tonight's health headlines, chicken soup, which has often been called "grandma's penicillin" for its cold-fighting abiliities, may also help in another way. Japanese researchers have found the collagen proteins in chicken may actually lower your blood pressure. The collagens act like blood pressure medications called ace inhibitors, but, it's the chicken that works as the medicine. Adding salt or other unhealthy ingredients could actually offset the potential benefits.
