PrintDiet Blues
Japanese company Yumetai has created "dieter's sunglasses" with deep-blue lenses. According to research, the color blue suppresses the brain's appetite center. The sunglasses also block red light, which tends to stimulate the appetite. It seems plausible that these sunglasses could be an effective (and novel) dieting tool—as evidence, the Amateur Gourmet's Blue Food contest held last year. Browsing the entries, you should experience an immediate loss of appetite (no offense to the entrants). The glasses are available here. [via Inventor Spot]

If they are blue glasses, they would by definition block red light.
