	I had a friend in college who suffered from gastric ulcers because

he chewed tobaco.  His physician told him that because he "chewed," he was

spitting too much.  The good doctor's point was that the saliva was required

to help neutralize the gastric juices secreted during the chewing.  This

of course implies that the saliva is alkaline.
