A new Japanese invention claims to help people reduce their salt consumption. The so-called electric spoon works by passing a weak electric charge to the tongue, drawing in the taste of salt, eliminating the need for users to add salt to their food. Excess sodium intake has been linked to several health problems.

Please make something about sugar. Its the sugar levels that we need to urgently reduce.
Weren’t sweeteners supposed to serve that purpose? Unfortunate that they link to cancer, I hope a new alternative can be found.
@@DARKINBLADE.Anything the body is not designed to process can be linked to cancer sadly. Sweeteners are supposed to be in and out substances that produce a sweet taste and get removed from the body, with nothing else in between. But on rare occasions they end up in places where they should not be and, with the body not knowing how to deal with them, things go south instantly.
Food is salty is correct. There already a produce to make normal water taste like fruit juice. It a lid with fruit smell
We need to reduce both sugar and salt equally
If you want to eat sugar and maintain a healthy body, then exercise, eat other healthy foods, and live a healthy lifestyle
That's something I'd buy for my grandma who suffers from High Blood Pressure, loves saltiness (more like addicted) and has a tongue that doesn't really taste well. She keeps putting more salt, soy sauce or fish sauce into her food than anyone else..
It would be better if it also comes in chopsticks, have the same shape and size as the common ones
Same for my father, this is truly helpful
You do realize this problem has long been solved. Sodium and potassium are a balancing act. In other words just use potassium chloride salt substituted for 25% of normal sodium chloride salt. You can already buy these mixed salts at most grocery stores.
I eat too much sodium and this might help me eat
No please don't, salt is vital for human survival. Her kidney function likely is enough to filter the salt just check the color and adjust her water intake accordingly, You could literally put her life in danger as a result
@@arandomlemon6707 too much salt is also bad
Sorry guys I can’t eat yet, I have to charge my spoon!
it runs on replaceable batteries
i get it's a joke but these use lithium batteries which are replaceable it'd be no more than changing the battery to your remote
@@guitarplayer1495 Sorry guys I can’t eat yet, I forgot to bring my battery
@@lozynessskill issue
@@lozyness ill share with you a spare 😌
They need to make one that simulates sweetness for diabetics
Wouldnt work. Just triggering taste buds for sweetness is enough to trigger the body to produce insulin.
already got tons of artificial sweeteners that, once you get used to them, tastes better than sugar anyway.
Yea I hope they do maybe later in life if they invent it I'll get it for my mom. She's only 55 but maybe once she's 70 that could be useful for her
@@disinfect777and many of them make the possibility of getting cancer higher
They also need to make one that simulates pop soda when drinking water.
The price will literally make you unable to eat anything for a month (or so).
which is pure health
inhaling vapors from hot meals should be enough
🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
If you are in a first world country, 127 USD is not much. I think that is their target audience
More like 1-2 weeks
Me putting french fries on a spoon before eating them.
I was thinking how about the dry foods 😂
>we reduce salt levels
>increase lithium mining
i think real problem is the salt in processed food not the salt we put in our food.
The real problem is all salt used in foods should be a standard mix of 75% sodium chloride and 25% potassium chloride and there wouldn't be any of these sodium health issues because sodium and potassium would be kept in balance in the body. Most grocery stores already sell such a product the problem is it's not the standard for salt used in food.
There's a solution for that, don't buy processed food.
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Sugar is the issue, effectively acting as a diuretic. Higher salt consumption correlates with lower mortality rates.
It’s not salt it’s sugar salt is fine and won’t make you fat
@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepthank you for this in-depth knowledge
Kirin, what about a device that makes alchohol drinks more alcoholic?
There are already a wide variety of nonalcoholic substitutes that taste pretty much like the real thing, e.g. 0% beer. Salt is made up of ions which are electrically charged but alcohol is made up of organic compounds so it wouldn’t be the same.
@@firetruckenthusiast8596 Well, i'm waiting for Kirin to do it. (That comment is a joke)
People would still drink the same amount, if not more.
technically distillation can increase alcohol content, so some big boiler that catches the alcohol vapor
@@charlesdoesmore5488 yeah I know it was a joke. Just something fun to think about ;)
I was excited till I saw the price tag, its okay I'll just keep eating salt 💀💀
It’s cheap for developed countries
Give it a few years time then eventually, it will be cheaper and you will even get cheaper alternatives too maybe. However for the latter, that is assuming if they will be safe.
@@whitepouch0904 how about you just use less salt?

I've seen this at least 5 years ago and it's still not in the market.
Ok. I already pre-ordered mine 😊😊
Japanese are already healthy, and they're trying to get even more healthy?!
America: Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Big Mac, Whopper...
yea it's funny because in my experience japanese food is usually on the lighter tasting side already. They don't add as much salt/pepper/sugar to their dishes compared to even other asian food cultures
@@ProjectILTone thing I dont like about Japanese cuisine is the lack of garlic that I really, really love. I find sushi a little bit bland. Healthy yes, but bland
@@yelanchiba8818 The only japanese food i like are the ones that's fried 😅
@@Verxx-sc2tlAnd the fried food is probably not even native Japanese food
Americans don't eat that at every day. It's called fast food for a reason.
America def needs this
They got the chair version
Those guys need to worry about sugar
@@NoughtsgnikI think you mean cheeseburgers lol
@@cattalkbmx not sure if you realized, but its not a normal spoon 😀😀
For what? Americans are already electrolyte deficient and intoxicated with water, this would only make things worse
It's great and all, but you know this type of tech will drain your wallet.
It might drain your wallet for a week but at least it doesn't give you medical bills and drain your wallet for a lifetime.
indespensible for someone with heart problems
What a downer.. It's a one time purchase
I mean, it makes sense. It’s a totally new technology
127 USD is not much dude in a first world country.
i bet gonna love the excitement of that so called 'weak' electrical charge hitting our tongue when we eat our food with that spoon
Pretty interesting technology, would definitely try something like this
Salt is not the enemy, but it could help improve certain dishes or for those with conditions where limited salt intake is needed
*"Are you sure this will work, doctor?"*
*"Haha I have no idea!"*
I thought salt (sodium) is totally healthy as long you eat in moderation and in balance with potassium. Does consuming less salt really make you healthier?
Next development? "Dial A Taste!?" Choose your own savours without actually needing any! Thanks for sharing.
Imagine having to share one of these spoons as a family because they’re so expensive. Everyone gets one bite at a time
Maybe apply the electric toothbrush technique, just change the spoon/ scope part
What re the long term effects of zapping your mouth with electricity?
And also if device malfunction…. Just eat less salt. Solving one problem with another risk
Somebody may end up zapping other body parts! 🤔🤣
@@annat6249 The small amount of possible electricity that could be theoretically discharged from the spoon poses no significant harm to the body. Might hurt a bit, but not dangerous. The long term effects of zapping your tongue is also not harmful.
Zap resistance?
Device is safe because it has very low current and voltage @@annat6249
Imagine your spoon running out of battery.
Kirin should start to produce other enhancer products like for sweetness, sourness, spiciness etc.
Hey, let's go eat!
>I can't. My spoon's battery ran out.
my first thought was japanese spoons are smaller like teaspoons so u eat slower and that immediately struck me as genius

i need that bgm, link pls?
I'm pretty sure this was done a long time ago as I clearly remember seeing this product somewhere before.
I love it!
I love salty foods, and I’m getting scared on my sodium levels. I’d definitely buy this.
Won't that thing damage the taste receptors after continuous shock from electrical signal?
I’m wondering that too.
Interesting. But if that's the case, you won't crave a salty taste anymore
Not really , the reason these receptors open in the first place is by electric charges , that’s how the body sends messages across the entire system , for example when you flex a muscles an electric charge is sent by the brain into the muscle to open Ion channels and do that action . And the same goes for the tongue , cells in the body works by electric charges . So this device shocks the tongue , which releases the sodium channel ions and gives the salt taste .
How about just cooking from scratch and putting less salt in your food, crazy idea I know..🤷♀️
That's actually brilliant and the principle is sound.
I really thought it was just a spoon that had a speaker so it could fat shame you for eating too much
What an incredible idea.
Does it run on cobalt?
It's very easy to do without any help, the key is to not eat ANY salt. You soon get used to it, and will have to get used back to eating it again.
I would be curious how this changes how brains because our taste buds are just the entry point of taste, hunger and satiety. Ultimately our neurotransmitters determine these things. If we are sending shocks, albeit mild ones, to this starting point daily and constantly wouldn't it begin to rewire things temporarily or permanently?
We need our taste buds not to be compromised to determine what food is safe or not. Not just for the pleasure of eating.
Chinese: we'll make it $50
Its only a matter of time
Hope they sell it in America too
Great. Now I can eat my big mac with this to stay healthy.
i have this built in, for some reason im very sensitive to salt and barely put salt on anything, its sugar thats the issue for me, i put it on everything, it tastes so much better with it 😭
Only 10grams here in the USA were consuming at least 100+ grams daily 😂
That's a cool invention
"magic spoon"
"my cereal tastes salty!!"
A few things wrong:
Salt needs to be either in solution or molten to conduct electricity, and salt melts at 801 °C. Electrolysis of salt solution produces chlorine gas, hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide solution.
Also if people don't care enough to eat less salt, why would they buy a spoon with batteries?
why does everything need to be power by electricity🤨
Facts
because it's a form of energy that have very low entropy, it's really fast and can be easily stored
you know that teorically a computer could not need any elettricity, and work only by gears or other forms of energy? but it would be way slower than real computers
This is a very cool idea. I’m sure this will help a lot of people reduce their sodium intake
great invention.
Ultimate killing machine
Digitensils called. They want to hire her.
What does it mean "drawing in sodium ions"? From where?
Also, so expensive!
The thumbnail got me thinking she was being force fed by two guys in a costume🤣
$127 USD for a battery powered spoon. No thanks to shocking my tongue when eating
They need to get rid of "condoms" that being openly sold in their country.
I know many people in the US eat food that's way too salty but Japan takes it to another level. Their food is so salty and it may be hard to eat any broth based dish over there if you are sensitive to the taste.
It's a cool invention but humans should learn to adapt to eating less salt rather than be dependent on a special spoon.
Meanwhile Indians for almost a million years: 🤚🖐
🤮🤮
@@tictactoe101🔥
@@tictactoe101 why so salty?
hey maybe they can invent a electrode like matrix that can make my brain think sawdust taste like filet mignon.
imagine the spoon malfunctions and when you eat the tastiest soup of your life, you'll be electrocuted 💀
Genius.
Spoons: ._.
Spoons, Japan: :o
Are there any side effects from using the lithium battery?
"Smart Spoon"
Is it effective? Can people still taste the saltiness of food when they are chewing?
I knew people who are extremely stressed and puts too much salt in their food. This spoon is definitely needed but hopefully, it’ll be free for those that need it when it comes to the health.
There is no such thing as free
It's totally redundant, the sodium issue is because it throws the sodium potassium balance in the body off. The issue is people using 100% sodium chloride salt instead of a mix with 25% potassium chloride which most grocery stores already sell
wow that's cool but yea as others thought i also kinda thought about sugar too
Salt is as vital as water for health and we need more of it, not less. This would just make people have electrolyte imbalance and get intoxicated by drinking too much water without electrolytes
"Mind over Matter"
If you have a strong mind, you will have a strong body
They could use this in the US or the UK
Needs a shock device to make it more efficient
I thought it was a pregnancy test in the first shot
Anyone who’s licked a battery before understands how this works
in other words there's literally a electric current in the spoon LOL
The people of Aomori prefecture can live longer now that they won't have to oversalt everything (they have the highest sodium intake in Japan, much higher than any other of the other 46 prefectures and they also have the shortest average lifespan of any Japanese prefecture)
What’s the song?
as someone living in Japan they have WAY BIGGER PROBLEMS than salt start with tobacco, alcohol, monosaturated oils, processed foods nad sugar then we can talk about salt
Sounds like MSG with extra steps.
East Asians eat tons of salt and have some of the highest life expectancies in the world.
Maybe the salt isn’t as much of a problem as we’ve been told.
It’s not. I have a certain heart condition that advised me to almost double my average salt consumption as it helps the water in my bloodstream reach my heart easier.
Salt is only bad if you have a condition that makes you more prone to clogged arteries. But that’s no different to saying don’t drink alcohol if you have liver problems.
Sugar and salt I think. Not just the salt.
That makes literally 0 sense
We’re getting spoon 2 before gta 6
Shut up
I need this because I like to eat salty food, but my body can consume less sodium than normal people. Eating too much sodium could harm me.
hypertension been real quiet since this came out
In my opinion and experience Japan is the world leader in quality control. Also they can travel to more places than Americans. Much honor and responsibility
Finally, The Electric Spoon
The problem with salt is the ultra processed food more than anything, not really adding salt to home cooked meal lol ...
I need a spoon that will make me loose weight while eating as much as I want
holy cow japan already has one of the highest life expectancies, now they'll live to 200
Ingenious!!
in B4 EHS spikes in users cuz they're casually frying their nerves on the reg.
Lithium batteries are definitely healthier than salt
hope there an Msg spoons
That's not very useful because Japanese eat mainly with chopsticks and Westerners eat mainly with fork. Meals with spoons are sparse. In South Asia and other countries some eat rice or other dishes with spoon but mainly around the worlds it's chopsticks,fork or hands.
A small change in lifestyle tends to always be necessary to be healthier, this would be no different, japanese or not.
You forget the weird shaped spoons japanese have for most dishes to catch stuff dropping and for the soups and broths
Japanese mostly use chopsticks, but they do use spoons to eat curry with rice.
i honestly dont think salt is the problem, i drench my food in salt and have slightly below normal sodium levels. The problem really seems to be sugar and starches.
Its not hard to force yourself to eat bland food, self control issue.
Salt is healthy, in fact warriors in old rome were paid in salt (sold)
Also you will automatically drink more if you eat more salt
imagine thinking sodium is bad for u xd
Has anyone ever tried, like... i don't know.... just adding more salt??? 😂
Or like…add a reasonable amount of salt n not too much
