Is It Okay To Chew The Eucharist?

If you've been Catholic long enough, you've probably noticed that not everyone receives Holy Communion exactly the same. Some stand, others kneel; some receive on the hand, others on the tongue (https://authorityonthesubject.blogspot.com/2023/10/stop-receiving-holy-communion-on-hand.html); and some chew the Host, while others simply let it dissolve in their mouths. Unlike most other methods of receiving Communion, the Church has no preference whether the faithful chew the Eucharist or not (https://www.catholic.com/qa/chew-the-eucharist-or-let-it-dissolve). As for me personally, I always let the Host dissolve in my mouth for one simple reason - it is easier for me to consume the entire Host without getting any particles stuck in my teeth. While this may be the more practical way to consume the Eucharist to prevent the loss of particles (at least for me), there is nothing inherently irreverent about chewing the Host. Consider John 6:54: "Whoever eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day." Before this verse in His Bread of Life Discourse, Jesus was using various forms of the Greek verb phago ("eating"). In verse 54, however, Jesus starts to use the word trogo instead of phago. In Greek, trogo literally means "to chew on" or "to gnaw on." Noticing the Jews' discomfort at the idea of phago, Jesus doubles down, using trogo to further point out the fact that the eating of His Flesh is literal, not symbolic. "For My Flesh is true food, and My Blood is true drink." (John 6:55)
