Question:
how many calories are absorbed through the mouth

This is kinda a strange question. Occasionally I will eat something sweet and instead of swallowing I will chew and spit it out just to get the taste. Does anyone know how many calories are absorbed just through the mouth? (I know this is a bad and discusting habit but it works to make the craving go away!) Thanks, jenae    — jenae C.

I don't think the question is disgusting, because I find myself almost doing the same thing. What I do is I don't eat anything sweet but if I try to eat a hamburger the bread will swell up in my mouth so I have to spit the whole piece out and then I finish. I don't think you get too many calories if any at all if you don't swallow (no pun intended)(prez & Monica)
