Hello Jan,

Thanks again.

I read through your reference. Unfortunately, I did not see where there was
a comparative study for food temperature and vapor release. I do not
dispute that some vapor is released, and that the concentration of vapor
release is greater after vigorous bruxism. I am looking for the rationale
for increased vapor release with moderate temperature increases. I am not
saying it does not exist, just that I want to read more on it.
