So many questions, so little time.

Strawberry ice cream was used in another study.

"We need to test whether the effects are long lasting," warns psychologist Elizabeth Loftus ..."

It has worked in other ways. Patients cling to false memories of satanic ritual abuse, incest, date rape, etc... Seems to me that would be harder to do then believing that a food made one ill.

Depends on the reason for doing so ? What if serial rapists could be implanted with memories that the act of committing rape made them *seriously* ill.

I don't know.

Faster results?

The report mentioned in Health was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I haven't found the report online.
