Scientists in the US have developed a sensor that helps you monitor anything that passes your lips.
Designed by engineers at Tufts University School of Engineering in Massachusetts, the sensor is designed to mount directly onto a tooth.
Vital information regarding glucose, salt and alcohol is then transmitted wirelessly to a mobile device.
There are no reports as to when the technology will be available to the public.

1. Are unable to control what we eat
2. How much we are self-conscious about how we look
3. What technology we have created that impacts the environment.
