Summary

Bubble tea drinks contain tea and tapioca pearls. Chewing tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks may increase salivary components. Because of its proteins, inorganic components, and enzymes, saliva plays an important role in the body's defense against bacteria and viruses. This study aims to analyze the effect of chewing the tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks on salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) and calcium (Ca) levels.
