Hello F.Wong,

I would have quickly answered "no" to your question from my personal knowledge, but a quick web search turned up the url, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/19/healt ... wanted=all, so I guess researchers have been working on this question.

If you want to ask a question about experimental design, analysis of your results, or some other specific question about making a science project out of your first question, please get back to us again.

Good luck, WW
