First seen Mar 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at whether measuring insulin in saliva can help identify children at risk for cavities and metabolic issues like obesity and diabetes. Researchers tested 105 children aged 5-10 to see if drinking water instead of juice lowers saliva insulin levels. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to monitor risk factors in schools without relying on self-reports.
