Anyone know who is conducting these trials? If it is a Chinese "research institute", I would be highly skeptical. I knew a western food nutritionist in China who was working in a university there and the lying/cheating/back stabbing/lazyness and idiocy that came from his workmates drove him away. Very few were interested in actual science, most were just more interested in climbing the ladder (up the communist party which is deeply involved in Chinese universities). I would not trust anything they published as they will simply find whatever the company who is paying for the study wants them to find. As fonterror has deeper pockets, they could fund much bigger "trials".
