  Here are the functions of the saliva... would you like to reconsider your answer?
  
  Lubricant of food
  Facilitates in chewing and swallowing
  Assists in articulation
  Essential for taste
  Maintains oral hygiene
  Has a protective role against most bacteria (has IgA antibodies)

  nay i stand by the use of replacement saliva
