Science Fair Project Exposes GlaxoSmithKline Lies

shadowspar writes "Despite claims made by GlaxoSmithKline that their Ribena soft drinks are high in Vitamin C, two New Zealand high school students found in their science fair research project that at least some formulations of the drink contained no detectable levels of the vitamin. As a result, GSK has been fined over $200,000 by the NZ Commerce Commission and ordered to run newspaper ads admitting that some of their drinks contain no Vitamin C."

Although I mostly agree, I do think it's worth an "Offtopic" mod for a post that basically says, "This situation would be much better if not for that damned Bush spending money on Iraq!" I've seen one or two posts like that on other articles (not this one) and think the moderation appropriate if there's not some effort to address the actual article topic.
