The researchers say that the collagen proteins contained in the chicken may act like ACE, a kind of medication that can inhibit high blood pressure. The researchers emphasize that it is the chicken, not the rest stuff of the soup that is medicinal. And the chicken breast contains little collagen but the chicken legs and feet contain much collagen. However, be careful with the salt that we add when making soup. It is said that the salt might offset or reverse this potential benefit.

In a soup, they taste good too, but can be ground up and mixed with water to make a paste that is good for everything from brushing your teeth to ED!

A dumb expression we have here speaks of something being "as rare as hen's teeth", which would be very rare since hens have no teeth! Also, they have no lips, so I was simply making a joke. I meant no offense by it.
