I just published a study showing industry sponsorship of nutrition research biases the conclusions. Please read the complete article for our results and conclusions:
Relationship between Funding Source and Conclusion among Nutrition-Related Scientific Articles
Lesser LI, Ebbeling CB, Goozner M, Wypij D, Ludwig DS PLoS Medicine Vol. 4, No. 1, e5 doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0040005
And the accompanying editorial:Does Industry Sponsorship Undermine the Integrity of Nutrition Research? Katan MB PLoS Medicine Vol. 4, No. 1, e6
Here are a bunch of news stories on it:
NPR : Researchers Find Bias in Nutrition Studies
WBUR (NPR Boston): Links Between Funding and Findings?
Boston Globe (front page): Beverage research tied to corporate dollars
