This fact-checking article from Nieuwscheckers examines the claim that voluntary cold exposure is harmless if it doesn't help ("if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt"), concluding that this is oversimplified and inaccurate. The article reveals that while some positive health effects of cold exposure are possible, cold is actually a documented risk factor for heart problems and cardiovascular issues, particularly for elderly people and those with existing medical conditions, making the "no harm" assertion untenable.
