Heart Drugs and Racism

Heart disease drug reduces racism? Really? Let's see what researchers have to say.

"Researchers found that the heart disease drug “significantly lowered heart rate.” They also found that there was no significant difference between the propranolol and placebo groups toward religious or sexual prejudice.
“The main finding of our study is that propranolol significantly reduced implicit but not explicit racial bias,” researchers concluded."

Bullshit?  You betcha. A "feelings thermometer"? Really? I know where it should go.
