Q: 

Is there an easy way to test the quality of my olive oil at home?

A: How to know if your olive oil is rancid. @aprilsimnel thanks…in fact thanks very much, but unlike rancidity, even the freshest imported EVOO might not be of good quality. That test deals with acidity levels. You might check for reivews of various brands in either Consumers'' Reports or Cooks Illustrated. Both periodicals do comparison taste tests and write-ups. Once you find a reliable brand that you like, you should be golden. @janbb an excellent suggestion! However, I am strictly interested in knowing that my olive oil is EVOO. There might be some olive oils that my limited palate would find well enough, but would in truth be labeled incorrectly. This would mean that I am both spending too much for the product, and possibly...


Q: 

Will a routine urine test at doctors detect cannibas use?

A: yes if they test for it. the doctor wont turn you in though unless you are pregnant. if they test for it yes. and they will record it in the chart. Only if they''re testing for THC usage. only if they are looking for it! like your doctors is a rehab centre or a mental health institution of some sort! It will if they dry the litmus paper, roll it and smoke it. Which they probably will..... if they are looking for it yes, if they are looking for something else then no. well if they are checking for it ya but i rarely doubt that the doc will check for that. A routine urinalysis only tests for common abnormalities in the urine such as protein, blood etc. A specific urine...


Q: 

When did testing blood become standard for testing for diabetes?

A: Blood glucose levels have been a standard in testing for diabetes for as long as we have had technology to test for glucose in blood. What has changed are the standards used to decide when someone is officially diagnosed with diabetes. Back in the 1920s, when insulin was first discovered, a test to measure blood glucose took 3 vials of blood and 2 or 3 days for results. When I was diagnosed with diabetes in 1978, it took several hours to get the results, and the pain of those large needles probing my veins, with subsequent bruising, will never be forgotten. I tested my urine for ?sugar? with litmus tape, and was told that +1 or +2 was good. Now we know that ?+1? is...


Q: 

How Can I Be Certain to Get a Quality pH test?

A: If you tend to be sick more often than the average person, have dry skin and hair, constipation, digestive disorders and experience extreme hunger, your pH level may be too far out of balance, explains Dr. Michael Jonas Kahn, Ph.D. of Nutritional Science. When your pH level is too high (acidic) or too low (alkaline), your digestive system reacts poorly and you compromise your immune system. A diet high in fiber and low in fat and sugar helps to achieve and maintain a good pH balance.testing kits for pH are available at most health food stores. The litmus paper test is the most common saliva or urine pH test. It is generally reliable; to get a quality test, you only...


Q: 

Has anyone tried testing the ph of their body?

A: You can buy a simple litmus testing kit from just about any health food store. I''ve heard that a neutral pH is not what you''re going for, but when testing saliva, I''ve always been smack in the middle. I tried it 6 months ago and found that my body was very acidic. I used the strips that you can get from a pharmacy or health food store. I have resently started juicing and within 3 weeks my bodies ph was perfect....

Q: 

Do percocet and lortab show up the same in urine test?

A: Lortab is the brand name for Hydrocodone and acitomenephine. Percocet is the brand name for the drugs oxcycodone and acitomenephine when they are mixed together. On a chromatograph or laboratory type drug screen individual drugs will be detected. On litmus style or stick type drug test drugs are generally lumped into large categories such as canabanoids, opiates, amphetamines and so on. The smart thing to do is not to mess around with stuff you have never had a script for and in general obey the three day rule when you can. Another words do not do drugs 3 days before the test at the minimum....

Q: 

How can the blood pH be tested?

A: With a litmus strip. However, you''d need to obtain the blood through sterile conditions. There''s a fringe group of crazy alternative medicine proponents who claim that you need to constantly monitor and correct your blood pH so that it doesn''t become too basic or too acidic. While blood can become too acidic or basic (resulting in acidosis or alkalosis) such conditions only occur in people with serious underlying health problems. The average person has no need to worry about their blood pH. The risk of infection from repeated needle jabbings far outweighs whatever purported benefits monitoring blood pH might have. A true condition of acidosis is serious and needs to be treated by qualified medical doctors, not at-home kits that claim to adjust blood pH....
