Dr. Ranjit Kumar Chandra in Canada: He make fool to scientific community and became richest and great scientist of the world. How he did it? read..... Around the same time, food giant Nestle introduced the new formula Good Start to the North American market. The product was supposed to help reduce the risk to some infants of developing allergies. The company was under increasing pressure from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prove those claims. Nestle had hired Chandra to scientifically test their product, but as the pressure on the company mounted in late 1988, Chandra was just in the early stages of conducting that study. By the following summer, Harvey had recruited only a handful of subjects, so she was shocked when she came across the already published results of the Nestle study. "I would say there was only probably one-quarter of the patients even recruited in this study," Harvey says. "And he had all of the data analyzed and published even before we had even had the data collected!" Masor saw the study too, and one thing in particular caught his attention. Nestle was comparing its formula to his company's products. Yet, Masor's company had never been asked to provide Nestle with the thousands of clinically labelled cans of their formula that would be needed for such a study. "I asked him directly. I said: 'Dr. Chandra, you know I read your study you published and I was curious how you labelled all that formula because obviously we didn't do it for you.' And he said, ‘Oh, we did it here. Well, that's not very reasonable because to feed that number of infants, we're talking about 20,000 cans that would have to be labelled. And to do that by hand – we did it by machine at the factory. And to do that by hand with a handful of staff is pretty unreasonable. So that – I was very suspicious from that point on." source: http://www.cbc.ca/national/news/chandra/
