<< but surely saliva is moderately alkaline,
 not acidic?  At least it was when I did A level biology.  And just to be
 clear, the higher the pH of a solution, the more alkaline it is.  Mind you,
 some alkalis can be just as corrosive as acids. >>

granted  but in a range of 5.4 to 7.5  (with 7 being neutral)  the majority of
the time the saliva will be acid in content.

(better stop this enzyme talk now as it is "nothing to do with brass bands)

nice to know someone is out there though!
