I thought this was an interesting article which kind of combines my personal interest in scams, quackery, and pseudoscience, with the community's interest in Kickstarter and Indiegogo: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/06/can-you-spot-the-fake-health-gadget/372788/
You know the device is pseudo-science when they claim to measure calories. Any competent dietician would say to ignore calories and focus on carbohydrates. The reason for this is rather simple. Calories are a measure of how much heat energy is released from a given material upon it's combustion. And since our bodies are not quite a furnace, calories really do a poor job of helping identify what will raise your glucose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie
