Can eating too much sugar make your voice hoarse?

Sugar and Sugar\n\nAs a kid I liked to eat sweets, all white sugar. As a result my immune system was down and I got severe tonsillitis, every year several times. Finally I learned that white sugar is not the best. It makes acid and causes a craving for more sugar, the sugar addiction. I changed to brown sugar, which makes alkaline. I never had tonsillitis again, well - unless I indulged in white sugar cakes at someone else's place! If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to try brown sugar, Yellow D sugar, evaporated cane juice, or white looking xylitol, or whatever the name. Organic sweets and candy bars nowadays contain natural sugar. Find out what suits you best (or should I say "sweets you best") and keep your pleasant voice!\nHope this helps. \n\nCordially, India.Magica

stop screaming at everyone.. and let your voice rest.. then use salt water 2wice a week.. and surgar water 4 times a week.. this will keep it clean and refreshed.. never drink pepsi.. or anykind of carbenated drink.. do not drink coffee or tea's no matter what.. only drink fruit juices.. water.. and vegtabul juice..  \n\nafter a few months.. your voice will be amazing the the tones of sounds will blow you away..

Cough drops, or syrups, inevitably contain very small percentages of alcohol - to help soothe the inflammed vocal chords, and reduce their tendency to emanate coughing.\n...For those who are not habitually used to consuming liquor, even this miniscule dosage could induce a craving - resulting in their opting for larger or more frequent doses !\nThe result - a HIGH !

Maybe you have laryngitis. If you have laryngitis, your voice will not work.  Give it a few days and it should get better.

you didn't mention your age or sex or if you smoked.\nbut all that aside sounds like you should have your throat looked at.  in the meantime try sipping on tea with honey and rest your voice as much as possible.  if you smoke....STOP!

orange juice(especially) will raise your blood sugar faster than a coke. milk will raise it faster than coke too.  if you have a family history of diabetes you might want to be careful.  too much sugar can make you nervous, some affects are the same as coffee. like anything drink in moderation.

Eating sweets and not taking medications would increase your blood sugar and would definitely increase risk of infections such as boils or other sores and can cause large abscesses or boils called carbuncles. More importantly if the sugar is too high one can even go into a coma and may be life threatening.

Stuff with lots of sugar, especially sodas and other drinks.  Try just drinking water.

Yes it can, in my experience I get a headache when I'm coming off a sugar high. Eat something with some complex carbs and you'll level out again.

The relation is that the nerves of the vocal cords are pass behind the thyroid gland,and if there was a tumor in the thyroid ,it can invades the nerve and cause the hoarseness of your voice.the second relation is in the thyroid surgery that can cause the paralysis of the vocal cords.

I have the same issue and when it happens orange juice helps you snap back quickly.  You need to watch your sugar input.  What happens when you get too much is that the insulin in your body becomes overactive to eliminate it and that many times leads to a fast drop in your sugar.  You should look up some good diets, but most of them will tell you to eat many smaller meals throughout the day.

This happens to me too if I eat a lot of (fresh) pineapple and particularly chew on the core.\n\nI did some research at the time that it happened to me first and discovered that it was the acid in the pineapple that was doing it.\n\nNot too harmful I don't think (though I wouldn't do it daily).\nEverything in moderation.  Numb tongue is probably a sign of overdoing it a bit.\n:)

I've been singing rock and metal for years. I think most of the "growl" singers are hurting their throats to get that sound. Others have that sound naturally and can use it as needed. I can't say how long you can get away with over pushing your voice. For some, it's a couple of years and others may go for 10 years or more. I don't anymore, but I used to over push allot and my voice is fine. Incorrect singing can also give you nodes on your vocal chords that can lead to cancer, so I suggest seeing a good vocal coach who is familiar with heavy metal singing.

My boyfriend sings for death metal band. He drinks nestle double chocolate milk because it's really thick.  I also know of a guy who has a container of honey to help him with it....It's kind  of like having phelgm in your throat without coughing it up

Hmmm . . . sounds like it could be a diet problem too.  Maybe you aren't eating enough.  But if masturbation affects your voice, maybe you should see a doctor.  It doesn't sound very healthy to have that problem.  Good night!

i know this sounds gross, but you could gargle with salt water. it will taste gross, but will help. cough drops are not a bad idea either.\n\nhope you get you voice back,\n\nLexa   :)
