    "I really cannot understand why some people are so obsessed about not giving 
thickened fluid when there is clinical evidence on MBS's that it has some 
advantages in some cases"
 
The Logemann study showed clearly that what happened on VFSS was not replicated in real life. That is the point. Whether or not the VFSS shows aspiration of thickened fluids or not, the end result is the same. One cannot extrapolate from a VFSS as to what will happen during a meal with real food and liquid.
