In this prospective single blinded placebo controlled trial, acute milk consumption will be evaluated. 50 asthmatic and 50 healthy children aged 6-18 will drink 240 ml of cow milk or soy milk substitute. Respiratory symptoms by questionnaire and physical examination will be evaluated. Airway response and inflammation will be assessed by fraction of exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO) and spirometry before and after the exposure.
