Fernald State School to determine how the minerals from cereals were metabolized. Parents of disabled children were asked for permission to let their children be members of a Science Club and participate in research. Being a member of the Science Club gave the children special privileges. The parents were told that the children would be fed with a diet high in nutrients. They were not told that the food their children were fed contained radioactive calcium and iron, and the consent form contained no information indicating this. [36] [37] The information obtained from the experiments was to be used as part of an advertising campaign. [38] The company was later sued because of the experiments. The lawsuit was settled on 31 December 1997. [39] Trans fat content and litigation [ edit ]Add 1 tbls of water to the remaining mixture in the bowl. Mix to moisten.
