Enzyme in Saliva Helps Regulate Blood Glucose

Scientists from the Monell Center report that blood glucose levels following starch ingestion are influenced by genetically-determined differences in salivary amylase, an enzyme that breaks down dietary starches. Specifically, higher salivary amylase activity is related to lower blood glucose.

Supports my theory that we are all different and genetics play a large part in being able to control out blood sugar levels.
