A member asked:
Do you know if there is any accuracy or credibility in testing ph balance with phresh strips? also, is adding licorice root to food considered a safe and healthy sweetener?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The test strip is just a chemical reaction so the result should not be off too much, either for testing pH of saliva, urine or vaginal medium. I would not recommend adding licorice root to your foods or drinks every day, not a problem if you do it episodically provided you are healthy.
