Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 info - Asthma Mucus Myth Slammed - As the winter cold and flu season tightens its grip, the National Asthma Council Australia is concerned that Australians may be incorrectly pointing the finger at milk as the mucus-causing culprit. " This is a dangerous myth that dates back to the 12th century and it shouldn't be used as the basis for dietary decisions, " warned National Asthma Council Australia Director, Dr Janet Rimmer, a respiratory physician and allergist. According to a comprehensive 2004 scientific review in the Journal of American College Nutrition, there is no evidence that dairy products are associated with nose symptoms, cough or congestion and dairy does not exacerbate the symptoms of asthma. http://www.nationalasthma.org.au/content/view/637/969/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
