She remarked, at the time, that she planned to do follow-up reasearch in which she would "reduce the dose to a much lower one, only 10 to 30 times the normal human dose...." and observe rats for 6 months to a year before examining their brains.
As the original was published in 2000, and no follow-up has yet been published, what can we conjecture from that? I reiterate, the preliminary research was done at doses at least two orders of magnitude greater than that to which humans are exposed. Do that with table salt, and you've got a dead rat.

Brains are not time machines.

Anybody got another?
