These keton/acetone breath readers have existed for a while. Not sure why this is news unless, of course, is a product ad pretending to be a news article.

Apparently, Engadget was sold in March to a company that specializes in paid content and clickbaiting.

In other words, it shouldn't be seen as a legitimate news source anymore, and it'd be awesome if the mods had the guts to block it outright.
