How an Online Video Shut Down a Multimillion Dollar Experiment

Trending

About this episode

In June 2017 more than 70 children arrived at a university campus in Indiana, US. They were there to take part in a nutrition study that examined the effects of diet and sodium reduction on blood pressure and cholesterol in adolescents. But the experiment swiftly came to a halt when a video was posted online of what was going on at the Camp. As a result, the multi-million dollar nutrition study was terminated.

We travel to the US to speak to the children who participated in the study, their parents, and a camp manager.
