A meme about eating fruit did the rounds of the Internet in 2009-2010. It included this claim:

If you drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

While chewing is good for starchy foodstuffs, is it any good for liquid, sugary juices?
