Taste is excited by the dissolving of food in the mouth, and while it lasts a necessary process of preparation for digestion is going on.
The juices of the mouth have the power to transform any food that excites taste into a substance suitable for the body.
Nothing that is tasteless, except water and pure proteid, only by distinct invitation of appetite, should be taken into the stomach.
If we swallow only the food which excites the appetite and is pleasing to the sense of taste, and swallow it only after the taste has been extracted from it, removing from the mouth the tasteless residue, complete and easy digestion will be assured and perfect health maintained.
NATURE'S FOOD FILTER
Nature has provided an Automatic Food Filter which, if rightly used, will prevent the introduction of any harmful substance into the stomach.
At the entrance to the throat there are certain muscular folds or convolutions, including the palate, which, when in repose, form an organ that is nothing less than a Perfect Food Filter. This filter has also automatic qualities which compel it to empty itself by the process we call "Involuntary Swallowing."
Involuntary swallowing is really compulsory swallowing; unless a voluntary effort to restrain it is set up against it. The real Swallowing Impulse is so strong that it is practically compelling.
