Question: A number of volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which received daily doses of vitamin C and one of which received daily placebos (without any active ingredient). It was found that the rate of colds was lower in the vitamin C group than in the placebo group. It became evident, however, that many of the subjects in the vitamin C group correctly guessed that they were receiving vitamin C rather than placebo, because of the taste. Can it still be said that the difference in treatments is what caused the difference in cold rates?
