Why are scientist using a placebo?

Scientists use a placebo to check that the variable they are changing actually is responsible for the results they see. It is like a control experiment, allowing you to compare the trial with it to see if there is any effect. It also counteracts the "placebo effect". For example, this is when someone taking a drug calims they "feel better" despite the drug not actually having any effect. Therefore, by giving some test subjects a placebo and some the drug being tested and not telling them which is which, you can eliminate the placebo effect from the test.
