Why do I get a sticky kind of saliva after drinking a certain beverage?
For instance, when I have a cup of tropicana or a beverage that seems to contain food coloring/dye or perhaps its the sugar content? The back of my mouth becomes very sticky and i feel as if i need to spit my saliva out. I've stopped drinking a lot of beverages due to that, I stick more to the watered down drinks such as snapple green tea etc. Is it due to the sugar, dye or additives it contains? please explain.
Answers:
Its a combination of high sugar and glucose in the beverage.
Ha! I don't know about that one....
But what I do know is that when it happens to me I can dangle the spit out of my mouth about 3 feet and suck it back in... lol. It's a sign of real talent.
Laugh people.
