I've done a bit of research. What I've found is the whole study is a
joke--very poorly designed and hard to draw any conclusions from it, and
certainly not the conclusions that Campbell claims for it. This is
discussed at some length in: Price Pottenger Nutritional Foundation Health
Journal Vol 21, No 3, Page 2 in an article by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig. I
will order a copy of this newsletter tomorrow (619-574-7763) and will
supply more detail when I get it.
