Comment on Is Pineapple Juice Dangerous For the Voice? by Judy Rodman

In reply to Robin. Robin, what a great comment, and a mystery to be sure! I do recommend eating fresh pineapple at gigs as well, but I know from vast experience that diluted canned juice does the trick, too. It hadn't hit me until your comment that heat would kill the enzyme, but of course it would! I wonder if perhaps it doesn't manage to kill all the enzyme, and that this may be why it still works, even at the heavy dilution I recommend to avoid acid reflux. I'm going to ask a chemistry professor I know to dig into it.

I’m not a singer, I’m a nutritionist. And this subject fascinates me. Heat treated, ie canned pineapple juice can’t contain bromelain as the heat processing kills the enzyme. It’s why the jello package used to say use canned pineapple in jello molds as the mold wouldn’t set with fresh pineapple due to the active enzymes. I worked with throat cancer patients and often recommended fresh papaya and pineapple smoothies to break up the thick ropey saliva that developed from radiation treatments. I got turned onto the idea from a Cuban patient who says he sucked on fresh papaya slices and obtained great relief from it. It’s interesting to me how the canned pineapple works because it’s a lot easier to obtain.

In reply to Lee Kimble. Thank you, Lee, so glad you see the significance here for changing habits. And you're right, the idea of re-routing the myelin sheath highway has so many more applications. Glad you found it interesting!

In reply to Farooq Ahmed. I'm so glad to hear from a UK admirer of Dave Loggins. Thank you for your kind words; grateful that you enjoyed this interview. Yes, his old albums are full of his special magic as songwriter, guitarist and singer. With that soulful, beautifully resonant voice, he is my favorite male singer of any popular genre (my other favorite being Andrea Bocelli). Thanks for your comment.

It’s thought provoking to consider what takes place at the level of our neurons in context with our behavior. I imagine that to grasp the relationship between learning something new at the expense of letting something go and what takes place physiologically could make the process easier. Thank you for the insight, it’s really something that applies to so many areas in our lives.

12 years away but one session and I’m writing songs again. You can deny who you are, you can put it aside, but once a musician, always… 👍😁🎼
