Frederick Tisdall

Frederick Fitzgerald Tisdall (3 November 1893– 23 April 1949[1]) was one of three Canadian pediatricians who developed the infant cereal Pablum.

[2] In 2013, revelations came to public attention that Tisdall starved Indigenous children for the purposes of experimentation, in direct violation of the Nuremberg Code.

[3][4] At the time of his death he was considered 'a brilliant research worker' with more than a hundred and twenty five scientific articles.

[5][6][7] In the most notorious of these studies, children who had been forcibly removed from their homes and placed in residential schools were starved while researchers stood by.

In another, children were given a flour mix containing added thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and bone meal.
