A controversial calorie-counting wristband, which had been denounced by some medical experts, has been put to the test by the BBC.
The creators of the GoBe wristband say it can automatically, non-invasively count the calories eaten by the wearer.
After crowdfunding $1.1m (£707,000) to build the product, the company experienced an intense backlash - with critics saying it was a "scam".

After the GoBe team sought cash for the project, medical experts warned that they thought the kit was either vapourwear that would never exist, or would fail to live up to its inventors' claims.

So, how is the wristband supposed to have achieved this?
Electrical current
The hardware itself isn't revolutionary.
The sensor involved uses a technique called bioimpedance, which involves passing an imperceptible electrical current through the body to measure its resistance to the effect. Best-selling fitness tracker-maker Jawbone also makes use of bioimpedance in its latest model to measure users' heart rates, and the effect has also been utilised by specialist medical equipment for years.…
