[Histonet] RE: Spit and Diastase

[Tony Henwood]

There is also a small co-hort of people who lack or have reduced levels
of the salivary amylase enzyme (eg Nutrition Research Reviews
(2003)16:37-43).

Though in this case the diPAS has worked in the past.

Is the person involved a smoker?
We have had trouble with the saliva of people that smoke not having
diastase in the past, Jon
