Frank writes: "If this is true, then by taking a mouthfull of cs and mixing it with saliva and then placing the mixture into a beaker instead of swallowing it, one could add a drop of hydrochloric acid (or salt) to see if the silver chloride precipitates out as a white cloud. According to the theory being proposed above, the silver ions will be protected by being encapsulated by proteins, and thus not combine with the chloride.
I propose that many list readers try this small experiment and report the results to the list. If silver chloride forms, that would mean that the existence of protein in salivia does not keep the silver ions from interacting with chloride. I will report the results of such an experiment conducted here. frank key ST: What a stupid suggestion this is. There would rarely be hydrochloric acid in the mouth, salt maybe, but not likely under the conditions Ole Bob suggested. There would however be quite a bit of ammonia, as per my recent post, so most likely chloride concentrations would be non-problematical. Silly science indeed.
