Diet Device Locks Jaw to Slow Eating
Some say it’s a torture device but it appears to be working.

Thank you my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting the Salem radio News Daybreak Insider [which I receive via email as well] extract focused on the DentalSlim Diet Control and a backlash against it.

Interesting. But two of my big concerns were mentioned in the article:

"Another skeptic surmised that if someone vomited while wearing the DSDC they would “choke to death or aspirate.” They added that the literal lockjaw was bad for “dental hygiene,” as it inhibited brushing and flossing."

While obesity is a huge issue (see what I did there?), I'm not convinced this is an appropriate tool for the tool bag. I would think liability issues alone from the previously stated concerns would outweigh (did it again...) the perceived benefits.
