The Bataan Experiment
text:
The Bataan Experiment, also known as the Bataan Rice Enrichment Project, was a collaborative research venture between American chemist Robert R. Williams and Dr. Juan Salcedo, Jr. It was a series of feeding experiments conducted in municipalities in Bataan between 1947 to 1949. By the end of the experiments, it is shown that thiamine-riched rice can reduce the cases of beriberi in the Philippines, which was the leading cause of deaths during those times.
