Peppermint group N=20. Mkay. 2 of those lost to followup, one because they didn't like the taste (control group got peppermint cordial). The result might be real but needs followup before we all starting gulping down peppermint oil.

		I was surprised by this too. From a background in writing code to control precision pumps, I have a good idea of what 50 µL looks like and it seemed like an awfully small amount. But I don't know how concentrated the oil is. FWIW, I had an Indian co-worker who took peppermint oil frequently and said that it was very good for his upset stomach.

		That's enough to turn a whole barrel of water detectably minty.
