Skorjden’s disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks salivary glands. It is a large part of why Venus Williams had to retire. I don’t believe there’s any noticeable caloric difference though research would mostly be on the other effects of disease.
Comment on Does mucous have calories?
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoInteresting. I wasn’t sure if it was indigestible, so even if it took calories to produce swallowing wouldn’t cause you to retain calories.
People are funny as if I am only talking about boogers. There is mucus in just saliva.
I am curious if you spit all day like a camel, versus not what the caloric difference would be in a day. Also curious for the same, but with the individual having a heavy cold.

I once tried spitting all day when I was a kid. There is this sudden pain when your throat dries up enough and sticks closed. It is not pleasant and you will instinctively retain every little drop of spit after that.
