When does digestion start

[NA4BH]

Here is a tricky question for you.

When does digestion start? The winner will enjoy Jello shots served in Gretchen's navel.

[WØTKX]

Saliva...

[KA5PIU]

Hello.

Depending on the food, even before you eat it.
Bacteria are breaking down food as you are shopping for it.

[NA4BH]

I will stop y'all when the right answer is given. So far, game on.

[NQ6U]

If you're a liberal, digestion starts somewhere early in the second trimester. If you're a conservative, digestion starts at conception...

What? Digestion? Oh, sorry. It starts in your mouth--saliva starts breaking down carbohydrates almost immediately.

[N7RJD]

Digestion begins with mastication.

[NQ6U]

Digestion begins with mastication.

Hey, you can't say mastication here! This is a fucking family-oriented site!

[KG4CGC]

Digestion begins with the eyes and nose.
Digestion starts at conception.

Mastication is a family oriented word. Had I not begun with a little nibbling and chewing I wouldn't have a family.

Digestion starts at conception.

There is your winner. Digestion starts with smell. When you smell something cooking, the process starts. You salivate and your guts get it in gear.

Digestion starts at conception! Yeah! Take that all you abortionists!

[WØTKX]

Well, actually I was wondering about the smell/sight thing, because of drooling...
digestion has started before the food gets in your mouth.

[NA4BH]

I'm not laughing.

There is a trophy and a certificate that goes with the prize.

Ah hell, stop the band. No fanfare tonight. I told you guy's he wouldn't like the Jello shots, make it tequila. :lol: :lol:

[WØTKX]

Your contest prizes smell of a personal attack... Such creativity.

Oh well, it was fun until you changed the prize.

[KG4CGC]

Jello shots? Where did you scrape that Jello out from? You mention two people from another place. Surely you wouldn't suggest ....

I don't know who I personally attacked, but I'm sure you will tell me.

And if you enjoyed the first question, here is another.

What is the only muscle that is visible on a "normal" x-ray? That is to say, a standard technique (normal kVp & mas).

[NQ6U]

What is the only muscle that is visible on a "normal" x-ray?

My dick, but that's visible from space.

[KG4CGC]

[NA4BH]

My dick, but that's visible from space.

I'll take a stab at it...through the heart.

And I reserve judgement to the answer about digestion. While the preparatory processes of digestion may begin with olfactory signals, the chemical process of digestion cannot occur until the reactants are mixed. For this reason I still side with those who identifed the mouth as the first locus of digestive activity.

So there. Pfffft. Double.
