they only sought the truth


Two high school students from New Zealand have won a $200,000 court case against GlaxoSmithKline. How'd they do it? They did a science fair project - at age 14 - testing the amount of Vitamin C in various commercial beverages, and found that Ribena (a GSK drink) has almost no detectable amount of the compound; GSK had been advertising that the soft drink was high in Vitamin C.

See! Science can be a lucrative career...so long as there is dishonesty to expose!
