Well, no
You'll still get all the tastes and feeling of fullines, but you won't feel bad when you go to sleep.

yeah I was trying to see if it would be worth taking up
so I could increase my cheesecake intake.

There's also a stupid diet in America where you chew your food and then spit it out so you get all the flavour and stuff but no actual food. Stupid Mericans.

but don't the enzymes in your saliva
break a lot of the sugars and stuff down instantly, so you'd be getting the crap anyway!

that seems unlikely

they must do
why else does something like chocolate dissolve if you just leave it in your mouth?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 10:39, Reply)

heat?
same reason it melts in your hand.

there's a big difference between chocolate dissolving and food almost instantly being digested when it comes in contact with your saliva.

There are enzymes in your saliva that break down carbohydates into sugars
however they are not absorbed in the mouth.

It might break down but you'd still have to swallow it for it to be digested
so you could still spit it out. Although if it was melted chocolate spit it would look gross.

oh
my biology is right up there with my geography and my maths.

i just have vague recollections of glucose being dissolved instantly by saliva from biology gcse...

Glucose isn't broken down by the body
it is used how it is.
