Possibly, but I believe there are better tried and tested methods which are reliable, examples of which are BP checks, urinalysis and blood tests.

to a certain degree yes you can.
you can definately tell through a tongue if your eating healthily or not, and if you have certain medical problems.
The chinese used this method many centuries ago....
have you been inspecting your tongue recently??? lol

It would be much more sensible than the route taken by our venerable Dr Gillian McKeith PhD (the 'Poo Doctor.')

Just wondered if there was any medical truth in it - isn't your tongue just a muscle?
