"Khan said PepsiCo researchers collaborated with scientists from around the world and found ways of changing the crystal size and structure to make the salt crystal dissolve more quickly, effectively putting the sodium on your tongue, not in your digestive system."
What? What happens to the salt that dissolves on your tongue? Doesn't it travel into your system as you swallow your saliva? Or do little salt beaches form in your mouth?
