I look at the funding on every study I read. Not hard to see an agenda
especially in the food arena. Amazing how there is often a direct
correlation between the food and the funding. ( Maine blueberries are good
for you funded by the Blueberry Commission.)

Granted, that does not necessarily make the findings suspect, but certainly
should make for more critical reading. And blueberries are good for you.
