- These ought to be interesting. I wonder what their treatment and that
- of the "controls" will be. Probably standard enough (electrolyte/complex-
- carbohydrate solution) that the studies will be meaningless. If this
- weren't the case, these folks would undoubtedly be sued for negligence/
- malpractice. Maybe it's easier to do a study like this in Nicaragua where
- controls are looser. I worry about the kids, though.
