Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Hi Anise, >What is the LaTrobe, the antioxidant trial: can you point me > where I can find more? I'll go do a Google search anyway: > sounds useful<<< Hi Anise, I know people get attached to their search engines, but give dogpile a try sometime. It searches 12 or 13 engines at once and it is very fast, too. Google is included. The following is from Terry who got it from her husband. I think it was Elaine that said it is a trial that is not over, but the results so far are so promising they want everyone to know that they are having great results with it. On another board I read more about the trial and the person commenting there said it would be a definite risk to your health to be in the control group. Good point, I think. Take your vitamins.
