That's an interesting read (after Googling) , especially the studies. I would love to be one of those types that says "Fake News" to anything I don't like, but the initial science seems to be there.
Sorry if that seemed to be my intention. As I mentioned, all bodies are different and if you say that happens to you I'm perfectly willing to believe it.
However, there is also a common misunderstanding about this which seems relevant to mention.
It is not.
"I've heard that you shouldn't drink milk when you have a cold because it increases phlegm. Is this true?
Answer From Julie Baughn, M.D.
No. Drinking milk does not cause the body to make phlegm." - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/expert-answers/phlegm/faq-20058015
The no doubt reputable "livelovefruit.com" claims "Milk and Mucus: Why Dairy is The Major Cause of Your Phlegm, Mucus and Congestion Issues" and then spends several paragraphs railing against diary industry science before citing some tangential studies.
"Milk and dairy product intake was not associated with an increase in upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms of congestion or nasal secretion weight." - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2154152/
"Excessive milk consumption has a long association with increased respiratory tract mucus production and asthma. Such an association cannot be explained using a conventional allergic paradigm and there is limited medical evidence showing causality. " - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19932941/
All good. When I said initial science I meant what you said with the studies not really seeing a rise due to milk.
I was taking a jab at those that yell fake news to anything they don't like and they did their own research so I can't do the same when there is science saying hey that's probably not the case with the milk.
Thanks for pointing it out. I hadn't seen those studies before.
