... That your mouth produces 1 litre of saliva a day???!
*99% of saliva is water. The remaining 1% contains substances which are important for digestion, dental health and control of microbial growth in the mouth. (*taken from HERE)
Without saliva we would choke on our food and not be able to taste food.
