There must be some caloric input required to produce mucus, however my question is what happens when you swallow your own mucus vs spitting. Do you retain calories by swallowing mucus?

Interesting. I wasn’t sure if it was indigestible, so even if it took calories to produce swallowing wouldn’t cause you to retain calories.
People are funny as if I am only talking about boogers. There is mucus in just saliva.
I am curious if you spit all day like a camel, versus not what the caloric difference would be in a day. Also curious for the same, but with the individual having a heavy cold.
Skorjden’s disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks salivary glands. It is a large part of why Venus Williams had to retire. I don’t believe there’s any noticeable caloric difference though research would mostly be on the other effects of disease.
