It can be difficult to stick to a diet, whether it be cutting out carbs, going vegetarian, or lowering salt intake.
“In clinical trials with people who follow a low-sodium diet, the use of the chopstick device enhanced the salty taste perceived when eating low-sodium foods by about 1.5 times,” Kirin writes. “The result of salty taste enhancement via electrical stimulation is a world first.” The product is still a prototype, but researchers are hopeful that it will be available to the public as early as next year. Researchers expect the production model will cost 100,000 yen, or the equivalent of about $975 CAD.
