Link to ABC Report on Tainted Soda ResearchLast night ABC News ran this piece on an independent university "researcher" arguing against any link between soda consumption and obesity. And here's the shocker... he's paid lock-stock-and-barrel by the soda industry.
Wow, you mean independent, scientific research isn't always independent or scientific?
This is the same guy who published research that menu labeling doesn't work -- surprise, the Restaurant Association was filling his Christmas stocking, too!
My favorite was the quote by the Beverage Industry Association (who ponied up a fair share of cash for the researcher): "The notion that industry money taints scientific research is baseless." Of course it is! Clearly no one has ever been swayed by industry’s offer of a pile of cash before.
Lesson for the day class: Sometimes you have to look under the hood of the researcher to find out what's really going on. Of course, I’m guessing that’s a lesson that Dr. David Allison isn’t teaching his University of Alabama students.
