An article about asthma in women.
"Is It Asthma?
Plagued with frequent colds, coughs, or bronchitis? You may want to lay off the OJ and consult an MD?you could have asthma..."
It looks similar to "lay off the booze" - changed here to milder OJ. Anyway, do you know any other meaning of the phrase(s)?

orange juice
In other words, this is not a cold, where orange juice is advisable (fluids and vitamin C). Consult an MD, (a doctor) instead.

stop drinking so much orange juice
OJ stands for orange juice in the US. I never knew OJ had anything to do with asthma, though.

There are a few foods which are permitted to contain sulphur dioxide and have been implicated in reports of asthma. These include some types of:
• fruit juice or drink;
• wine;
• dried tree fruit; and
• delicatessen meats.
