For example, the Mayo Clinic debunks the specific claim about daily and phlegm, not whether milk consumption impedes recovery from a cold (the *relevant* question). As the M.C. implies, mucus viscosity is changed by dairy, so sinus & nasal mucus can be thickened, inhibiting the body's clearing of infection. But note...I am not a physician.

Unfortunately, right now, Google are still facilitating that certain, let's call it detritus, does float to the top. I've seen cases where Bing has produced more relevant & accurate results, but that's only an anecdotal snapshot for me and not research/study.

Let's hope the SEs crank up their “treatment plants” beyond the level they're working at right now.

Agreed that we don't need a lot of answers from content farms... just a few good ones we can trust.. especially for topics involving health and medicine!
