Physiologically, milk doesn't actually come in contact with your vocal cords.
If it did, it would get into your lungs and you'd choke (going down the wrong
pipe, as they called it when I was a kid). So any thickness wouldn't come from
it actually coating the cords. Dr. Messmer?

Subject: [vocalist] does milk affect your vocal chords
I have been told repeatedly that milk can damage your vocal chords. Something
about coating the chord area and making the chords become thicker. Does
anyone out here know if it is true or not? I would appreciate any feedback as
I was not allowed milk, only soy milk as a child.
