Seth Roberts found some negative results from taking cold showers, including weight gain and slower brain function.

And Tim Ferriss does well from it. YMMV. It's definitely one on the list of hacks to try.

(I turn my shower cold occasionally. I often get the results D_Malik describes. That said, sometimes I'm just really not in the mood to turn my shower cold. Therefore, it may be something I should train myself to do even when I don't feel like it.)
