And this reminds me, why we don't have a cheap nutritional deficiency test? like you spit inside shake a little bit and it will tell you what are wrong with your diet

Dietary tracking doesn't always help, I have a sibling with a protein absorption deficiency. So his protein intake is normal but he has health issues from inadequate protein levels in his system.

The spit was just an example. I mean even blood tests don't get your nutritional deficiencies rights, and a lot of issues people have it's because they don't get certainly nutrients.

I agree the better solution is to keep track and planning the meals etc, but this tell something about our medicine, we get tons of research and money to pharmacology and almost none in prevention and get quality stuff for people. I think I never was asked by a doctor about my diet in a way to check for nutritional deficiency.
