Why is necessary to test saliva for starch and sugar?

Testing saliva for starch and sugar is essential because it helps assess the digestive process, particularly the breakdown of carbohydrates. Saliva contains enzymes, such as amylase, that initiate the digestion of starch into simpler sugars. By analyzing saliva, we can understand how effectively these enzymes are functioning and monitor overall oral health and potential metabolic disorders. Additionally, such tests can provide insights into dietary habits and the body's carbohydrate metabolism.

Generally speaking Saliva tests are less accurate than urine tests and yes...Im not quite sure why you would be concerned if you can pass a urine test. Alcohol stays in your mouth until it evaporates or is washed away, so I wouldn't recoment drinking a beer then going in for a saliva test, but as far as marijuana and pill use the detection period on saliva tests is very very small, sites say several days, but its more like several hours. Saliva tests are generally used to detect ADDICTS (people who CANT stay away from drugs and alcohol) not casual use.
