Jim Claypool said, and I don't know his source of information, that bezors are more apt to form if the skins aren't properly masticated and a large quantity is eaten with little or no liquids.  

This week they scoped my stomach for a medical problem. With all the persimmons I eat, I mentioned bezoars and they reported I have an ulcer but no bezoar. Eat more persimmons!
