[Histonet] Re: Spit and Diastase

[Tracey Gunn]

Hi Histonetters

 

I am one of the people in the world with deficient salivary diastase.

 

I have been working in Histology labs for 15 years and initially had OK
diastase, but over the past 4 years my saliva doesn't digest the
glycogen.

 

I do not smoke, don't have diabetes, don't chew gum or eat anything
before doing DPAS!!
