Dairy can mess up the mucus lining of the sinus passages and decrease your
ability to smell. Most of taste is smell.

Speaking of learning, I was a good teacher on Christmas Eve.  I took to the
service a plate of strawberries, orange sections and paleo cakes & cookies.
I gave a cookie to my endocrinologist friend as in my attempt to turn him on
to sweetening options for his low-carbing PCOS patients.  He thinks what I'm
doing is just nuts (remember previous post re: his opine on Cordain's
research?), so I go out of my way to help him learn something.  He liked the
alternative sweeteners and said he'd pass word along to his patients!  Call
it my Christmas gift to those who used to be like me; fat, unhealthy and
miserable.

Here's my techie question.  Something about giving up dairy cut my
'cravings' for sweets while increasing the sensitivity of my taste buds.
Any ideas as to why?
