Ei ole mitenkään yllättävää, että tiedejulkaisuissa julkaistut vertaisarvioidut ravitsemustieteen tutkimukset päätyivät tuoreen tutkimuksen mukaan kuusi kertaa todennäköisemmin teollisuuden etujen mukaiseen lopputulokseen silloin kun teollisuus on tutkimuksessa mukana. Yllättävää on, että teollisuuden arvioitiin olleen mukana vain joka kahdeksannessa tutkimuksessa. Syynissä olivat vuonna 2018 julkaistut tutkimukset.
A Scary Amount of Nutrition Science Has Deep Ties to The Food Industry, Study RevealsLainaa:
The food industry has their fingers all over our nutrition research. According to a new analysis, one out of every eight leading, peer-reviewed studies on nutrition is tied to business.
Even worse, this conflict of interest, although acknowledged explicitly within the scientific journals, tends to produce results that favour business, and potentially with misleading consequences.
"This study found that the food industry is commonly involved in published research from leading nutrition journals," researchers write.
"Where the food industry is involved, research findings are nearly six times more likely to be favourable to their interests than when there is no food industry involvement."
As far as the authors know, this is the first systematic review on the extent and nature of food industry involvement in peer-reviewed research. Similar studies focusing on industry involvement have produced mixed results, but far more research is needed.
