No, I haven't heard that. For me, foods don't have much effect one way or the other, but I need to be well hydrated so I drink lots of H2O. I take a Duratuss now and then if I feel gunk in my throat from any plant allergies or whatever. Caffeine affects my nerves so I don't partake too close to a performance. Quite frankly, since food goes down one pipe and the larynx is in the other, I don't place much importance on what I eat. I just don't sing as well when I am not hydrated.
I have heard: Lemons clear out mucus. (nah) Milk causes phlegm (maybe you just notice it more) Bananas reduce stage fright (maybe...) Apple juice is more hydrating than water (but has lots of sugar) Milk coats the throat (I doubt it/why should you need it?) Spicy/Hot foods clear out mucus (no thanks)
I am sure there are others!
Cheers, Gina
