re: Drinking milk while suffering from a cold or the flu

As you grow older you don't need milk. You're not a calf or infant.

Unpopular opinion, oh well.

I drink milk daily.

Mild doesn’t create mucus

Milk thickens saliva which can give the impression it’s creating mucus or phlegm. Mucus with saliva mixed in and then combined with milk can give the temporary sensation of phlegm. Mucus and/or saliva wrapped phlegm when exposed to milk can make existing congestion much worse especially if already struggling to breathe no matter how temporary.

2 oranges
1/2 lemon
8 pieces of ginger
Apple cider vinegar
Pinch of cayenne

Your sore throat won’t stand a chance.

Good grief, you left out the most important ingredient. Bourbon 1-2 oz.

Sundown is hot toddy time. The ginger bomb is a day sipper to keep the mucus and inflammation at bay.

This is really stupid

Yeah? My wife watches a lot of broadcast TV, and there are all these ads now encouraging people to take antipsychotics for depression. I probably see 10-12 a day, all for different flavors of liquid lobotomy. There's even one that encourages you to give Rexulti to your grandma with dementia if she acts up. ("She even started cursing!" )

So maybe you can go sit and the corner and have a nice Thorazine-colada. Who needs a brain anyway?

My kids drink a half gallon of milk a day regardless of what is going on. Only exception is if they are throwing up, because I ain't cleaning that shite up.

If I start coming down with a cold or flu, I start craving Coke or any cola-flavored drink. I seldom drink them otherwise, but I'll go through liters while I am down with it.

When I was growing up we were told not to drink milk when eating seafood.
