Here is an easy question for you medical proof types.  What is used as
placebos for medical testing?  I imagine that different things are used
to substitute for what the other group is using (pills, liquids,
capsules, etc).  Please use common names (if they exist) for the
substances used.  Perhaps there is a significant science to making
these things so that they seem real?
