We divided the children randomly into four groups: 170 were given Misola (731 \u00b1 7 kcal\/day), 170 were given Spiruline plus traditional meals (748 \u00b1 6 kcal\/day), 170 were given Spiruline plus Misola (767 \u00b1 5 kcal\/day). Forty children received only traditional meals (722 \u00b1 8 kcal\/day) and functioned as the control group.
