Throughout my many years of voice problems, while everyone is promoting herbal teas and honey and lemon juice and whatever else is supposed to cure me, the only folk cure that I've found any solace in is chocolate milk. If my voice is really terrible and my vocal chords horribly inflamed, the only non-pharmaceutical remedy that works is chocolate milk. Somehow the chocolate milk just soothed my throat and cleared things up for a while, allowing my non-existent voice to gain some sound and clarity.
People have always looked at me askance when I tell them about my chocolate milk cure. But I know what I know.
And now today--vindication! Check out this research summary which suggests that chocolate milk may reduce inflammation. They are actually talking about athersclerosis, but inflammation is inflammation right? And my voice issue is ultimately about inflamed vocal chords. So there, doubters. Chocolate milk is a miracle cure.
