The "follow the money" critique of nutrition science is overly simplistic; all researchers have dietary biases (they believe their own diet is healthy) and funding must come from somewhere; commodity-funded research is often more trustworthy than commercial-funded research due to regulatory oversight, but the distinction between funding sources and actual research integrity is more nuanced than simple accusations of bias.
