Problems with complying with the diet? This sensor may help you

If you have problems keeping your diet you may soon have a valuable help in the form of a small sensor, which will have the function of reporting your minor infractions to your nutritionist or doctor.
As Ars Technica says, the sensor in question is so small it can be glued to a tooth and is able to send radio information about the amount of sugar, salt and alcohol ingested. Those responsible for the development of this sensor at Tufts University, USA, hope that it will serve as a link between diet and health.
For now the sensor is going through the first (and promising) tests but, for more conclusive results, it will be necessary to carry out a greater amount of tests.
