It's pretty well the same thing as anorexia.. because you're not getting any food in your system. however, i am not a doctor. but i DO know its very unhealthy, and very dangerous.

yes . this is a problem . it can cuase stomach ulcers and other problems . once the food is in your mouth that triggers your digestive system to kick in and starts producing more acid to break down the foods your going to swallow but since you arent swallowing then you have all that acid doing nothing. which is BAD. i used to do it and it made me sick numerous times. i recommend not to do it .
