Did you know that poor college students have been used as guinea pigs? In 2000, Students at Loma Linda University were paid $1000 to participate in a study funded by defense contractor Lockheed Martin. The students were required to take a daily dose of perchlorate, rocket fuel, for 6 months. Those who were taking the highest dose, were taking an amount that was 83 time higher than California's Action Level for rocket fuel in drinking water. Healthy males were also recruited at Harvard and Oregon State Universities to drink water laced with rocket fuel. The US Air Force may be conducting similar studies at other locations.
