　　湖南省疾控中心的胡余明是该课题湖南方面的负责人。他说，参加实验的学生被分成三组，统一安排在学校食堂进早餐和中餐，早餐为米粉，中餐则是一荤一素一汤。

The centers for disease control in hunan province YuMing hu is the subject of hunan person in charge.He said,Participating students were divided into three groups,Unified arrangement in the school cafeteria breakfast and lunch,Breakfast for rice,Chinese food is a stroke a meal a soup.

　　胡余明告诉记者，除了蔬菜，学生们吃的内容完全相同。而这项课题的主要目标，就是通过让学生们食用胡萝卜素含量不同的蔬菜，来测量维生素A在学生体内的吸收情况。

Hu YuMing told reporters,In addition to vegetables,The students eat content exactly the same.The major goal of this subject,It is through let the students edible carotene content different vegetables,To measure vitamin A in the student absorption of the body.

　　伍剑桥说，课题所用食材来自两个渠道：米、油、调味品由衡南县疾控中心在衡阳市步步高超市采购；肉类、禽、蛋等生鲜食品由学校在江口镇采购。他给记者看了当时的超市采购发票。

疑问五：家长学生对实验是否知情？ Doubt five:Parents students to whether the experiment informed?

　　

【调查】超过100名学生参与实验，家长均签署了课题研究知情同意书 [survey]More than 100 students to participate in the experiment,Parents are informed consent signed subject research

　　因课题对参与实验的儿童有年龄要求（6—8岁），衡南县江口中心小学选择全部由二年级学生参与。贺仲秋告诉记者，实验开始前，学校组织学生家长开了第一次家长会，大约有180多名家长参加，会上给每位家长发了一份课题组提供的知情书，由家长自主选择。

【调查】课题经费来自国内，在实验室分析技术上得到美国塔夫茨大学的支持 [survey]Subject from domestic funds,In the laboratory analysis technology to get the United States tufts support

　　根据9月1日衡阳市政府提供的情况说明介绍，“在衡南县江口中心小学进行的此项实验，未与美国及境外的任何机构发生直接关系。”那么，该实验有哪些机构参与？有没有境外机构参与？

WuJian bridge is introduced,The whole project by the China CDC nutrition and food security expert guidance,Project implementation plan by the China disease control center for nutrition and food safety,Hunan province CDC and HengNaXian disease control center is responsible for the implementation of the project.In hunan province CDC issued by the project agreement,The reporter sees,The entrusting party and the entrusted party agreement respectively"China's centers for disease control and prevention nutrition and food security"and"Hunan centers for disease control and prevention".

　　连日来，记者与浙江省医学科学院联系，得到的回应是“仍在调查”。

For the last few days,Journalists and zhejiang academy of medical sciences contact,The response is"Are still investigating".

　　追问：

cross-examine:

　　论文中说，所有作者均审查了原稿，但论文第二、第三、第四作者表示对论文中黄金大米试验及数据均不知情。是第一作者唐广文在造假？还是中方研究人员在说谎？

The thesis said,All the authors are examined manuscript,But the second paper/The third/The authors said the fourth to the thesis golden rice test and data are not informed.Is the first author TangGuangWen in fraud?Or the Chinese researchers lying?

　　论文中称，黄金大米和菠菜是在美国生产、处理和蒸煮，然后冷藏运至中国实验所在地，但记者调查显示实验食材来自湖南当地。究竟谁在说谎？（记者颜珂王君平驻美国记者吴成良 陈小燕）

The thesis says,Golden rice and spinach is manufactured in the United States/Processing and cooking,Then refrigerated shipped to China experiment is located,But reporter investigation shows that the experiment from hunan local ingredients.Who was telling a lie?(Reporter in the United States YanKe WangJunPing reporter WuChengLiang ChenXiaoYan)
