What milk mucus might look like. (NSFW)

Of course not, goblet cels makes mucin, which mixes with water to make mucus.

Well, this is weird.

I was just telling my wife about this, erm, old wives tale the other day.

I think it's about time that old wives shut the f*ck up about stuff. Being married for awhile in no way qualifies them for dispensing medical advice with such arrogance and authority.

As someone who just drank a glass of milk I'm getting a kick out of this....

Headline is snot funny

This doesn't apply to breast milk.

Someday you will get over what they said about you, really.

Quick, tell the helicopter moms !

I'll never forget.

NEVER!

Yes, "Science says". When one has to travel to Australia to find the one scientist supporting your preconceived notions, well you know it is good.

Spares, not of milky mercy, but as meet
To minister my purpose; go unscath'd,"

I get mucus whenever I drink milk, so the science must be flawed somehow.

I have a friend who will immediately claim that this study is false because he suffers from Illusionary Milk Mucus Syndrome and he thinks the "extra" mucus is real. Hell, the only thing to drink at my place that DOESN'T cause him some type of discomfort is my hidden stash of soda cans.

Then again, he's my main reason for believing that the plural of anecdote is not data.

Gives me mucus. Clogs me up with phlegm.

And butter, that's another thing.

He puts the sensation down to the texture and viscosity of milk, and notes that most people do not report similar effects with other dairy products such as cheese.

Yeah... ummm... about that. If I drink milk or eat cheese, I go from mucus-free to throat-clearing, nose-blowing misery within 30 minutes. What explains it?

Cow's milk has no place in a human body... sick or not sick, mucus or no mucus.

An allergy?

Soy milk makes your penis small.

I always thought the mucus was always there, but that milk made it thicker and/or stickier.

Sounds like a dairy allergy.

Well, wouldn't milk make phlegm? Wouldn't it wreck one's voice?

That's alright. I don't need mine anymore. I'm married.

and you grow body hair and you become allergic to deoderant, and have to live in a comune.

Ask a singer about this -- milk certainly produces something. And drinking lemon juice, straight up, has another, beneficial effect on the voice.

Say that in Wisconsin, and you'd get your ass kicked by angry farmers...

What they didn't say was what type milk was used. If the study was done with skim milk, yes, you may not react. However, I've noticed with drinking whole milk, and eating ice cream, I get kind of 'phlegmy' afterwards. Switched to 1%, problem solved.

Interesting article.

MrS refuses to touch soy, so I just got a grateful kick here.

So it was just a viscous rumor?

I'll confirm this all you want. I'll get pic to prove it too.

Out of the 500 cows at the farm next door, there isn't a single one without a snotty runny nose!

lol

Those that have allergy or digestive problems can drink their milk as hot as can be tolerated, with a little turmeric and cardamom added (or saffron if wealthy) and a little sugar. Yummy. Also, a slice of ginger helps.

This is just common farking sense.
"Hey, this viscous substance has entered my mouth and now I feel an increase of viscous material in that particular region!"

I thought everybody knew this was an old wives tale? Are performers that precious that they cling onto any bit of nonsense?

AbbeySomeone: MrS refuses to touch soy, so I just got a grateful kick here.

I can't believe you named your vagina "soy", and that in lieu of touching it, your husband kicks it instead, and that you are grateful for it.

/that's messed up, lady

It snot news?

Really. What about "old single-mother's tales"? You never hear about those, and these people have some sound advice, I'm sure.

Jean-Puc_Licard: I thought everybody knew this was an old wives tale? Are performers that precious neurotic that they cling onto any bit of nonsense?

Yes. I've known plenty of singers/actors and they have more superstitions than whole baseball teams.

More for me.

I'm pretty sure I'm a hypochondriac and this news makes me think that milk making me feel phlegmy EVERY TIME I DRINK IT is all in my head.

This article brought to us by the dairy industry?

brap: So it was just a viscous rumor?

Nice.

BobaFeet: Cow's milk has no place in a human body... sick or not sick, mucus or no mucus.

For every glass of milk you don't drink... I'm going to drink three.

Just drink MALK, with Vitamin R.

BobaFeet, People from northern Europe have evolved to utilize milk, along with everyone else who has the mutated genes letting them digest lactose as adults.

My pet theory is that the addition of vitamin D to milk does something bad to the milk's composition. If you drink milk at a farm, that has not had that crap added, it goes down like nectar.

What vitamin D producer bribed the government idiots to mandate it's inclusion in all milk on the store shelf?

/yes, I despise government intrusion

"Egon, your mucus..."

My butt makes mucous.
