Conflict of Interest

Always ask who funded a study before blindly accepting the results as "truthful".   One study found that when a drug company, or an industry such as the Corn Producers, or Dairy Association funds a study for their products, there is a zero per cent chance that published study results will be negative.  When independent researchers evaluate products, there is a 40% chance of a negative evaluation.  The difference in results may be related to "Conflict of Interest."
