I haven't heard anything like this in my medical studies. 'Germs are made by dipping fingers inside food bowl'?? You mean fingers and food get together and CREATE germs?? And anyway stomach is too acidic for most bacteria and the only one I've heard to exist in stomach is the helicobacter pylori and it is not 'made' by dipping fingers in food bowls; furthermore, stomach GETS problems because of it.By licking fingers one can lick germs-that's why modern medical science asks people to wash their hands using soap before eating, to get rid of germs.Saliva production can be increased by even thinking about food, smelling food and having food inside mouth. If we lick fingers to increase saliva production, so that digestion is made fast, then we will have to do it BEFORE eating, so that saliva will be there in the mouth when the food arrives. If you lick fingers after eating, then the food will already be in the stomach; even if you swallow the saliva you so produced, it would be useless because it's neutralized by the stomach acidity.</blockquote>
