You could be right. I had never heard of "cephalic response" before. I had tried an experiment on eating and not swallowing. Why did I do that? Well... in between trading ETFs on the market, and being retired, I have a lot of time on my hands. I love to snack. "cephalic response" . It explained what I was going thru. I stopped the snacking but not swallowing, and my health went back to under control."cephalic response" . I believe that there is a cephalic response that causes extra insulin to be produced during chewing, especially during chewing something sweet, although I think that it happens during, some types of non-sweet, chewing also.
