morning,
 
i need some help from those who went to the thursday night OCBA meeting. 
 
During the presentation Dick spoke about how, in his research, sugar shake treatments are not effective. After some prodding and multiple questions I "think" i heard him say he did 2 treatments 2 weeks apart. My biggest question is did i hear him wrong when he said he only used 20 oz??
 
I thought he said he used that amount because it was equal to the content of the other two treatments(chemicals). Did i miss anything or was that the amount he said he used??
 
If so here is a quick reference chart....and it should be noted that 20oz of a concentrated chemical is WAY more potent than 20 oz of powered sugar by volume.
 
  WEIGHT)

1 ounce = 28.35 grams
1 pound = 453.59 grams
1 pound = 0.454 kg

 

That would mean he used less than 1 ounce of powered sugar per treatment. Can those there at the meeting help me because i must have misunderstood him. please help!

Thanks!

marty
