Michael is correct...or at least I was always warned the same thing. My God! Ice cream will increase Pitta (and this may be so) so we were told to eat whipped cream instead if we craved such a Kalpha delight. Ice was bad..and so was cold water. Carry a thermos full of hot water with you at all times. Sip through out the day. Not dissing the practice, but it is ODD that OZ said drink cold water..."Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore!"
