Chew on that: Can your chewing predict when you'll die?

Could scientists use the Second Law of Thermodynamics on your chewing muscles to work out when you are going to die? According to research, the level of entropy, or thermodynamic disorder, in the chewing muscles in your jaw increases with each mouthful. This entropy begins to accumulate from the moment you're "on solids" until your last meal, but measuring it at any given point in your life could be used to estimate life expectancy.
