R R --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: RRozanski To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Excess of phlegm Date: Sun, 19 Jul 1998 09:59:43 -0400 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> References: <[log in to unmask]> Milk "causing" phlegm appears to be a myth.

Avoiding milk and milk products reduces food choices that may add to nutritional intakes.
