The physiatrist at the nursing home where I work seems to feel that
aspiration of yogurt represents a different sort of threat to those with
impaired immunity because it contains live cultures.  I have never seen
any supporting research on this; has anyone else?

Also, besides V-8, what fluids are hyperosmolar fluids?
If you think one person can't make a difference in today's world, just light up a cigar in a crowded restaurant.
