If you chew sweets and don't swallow it do it still get in your system ?

Chewing sweets: Yes , as you chew the sugar in the sweets is dissolved in saliva and is swallowed as we swallow our saliva. From the literature I read it does not appear that there is significant buccal( mouth) absorption. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/691147 http://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/an-introduction-to-nutrition/s08-02-digestion-and-absorption-of-ca.html
