Makes me wonder if there's a risk of losing a placebo effect by knowing it's a placebo effect.

We know that placebo can work even if you tell the person that they're taking a placebo. The placebo effect is so famous that people already expect a benefit from it.

But I guess it varies by individuals so maybe some people would lose it.

Now, designing a controlled experiment to investigate that claim is a good challenge!
