How can you know, if the trials don't document what's in the placebo, and the FDA doesn't regulate it?
But these are accusations made by a man who admits he had never heard of active
placebos until a few days ago. He's reading reports that are summaries of the trials and apparently
concluding that since the summary doesn't include the ingredients of the placebo then they're undocumented
and not regulated by the FDA. How does he know that?
