In one of our first episodes of Healthcare Triage, we discussed how placebo controlled randomized controlled trials showed that sugar doesn’t make kids hyper. Placebos, or fake therapies, are important because people who think they’re getting a treatment will often feel an effect. Watch and learn!

Many of the references for this can be found in a recent piece friend-of-the-show Austin Frakt wrote for the NYT. His twitter is http://www.twitter.com/afrakt, so go thank him for letting us adapt that piece for this episode : http://www.nytimes.com/2014...
