Summary

Fréchette has an experiment to see if his master's thesis is correct. He used 42 athletes in this experiment. He recorded how many of them were using suppliments and what their eating habits were for three days. He believes that the use of proteins are misunderstood and don't actually have the effect on the person taking them that they believe they are recieving. Fréchette thinks that supplements aren't as controlled and safe as regular prescriptions given by doctors. He figured out that 12 out of 20 suppliments contain prohibited substances. As a result the consumers had levels of sodium, magnesium, niacin, folate, vitamin A and iron that exceeded the required amounts. This could result in sicknesses and nausea.
