Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I've been wondering
about this for some time.  How can one find out how a particular medical
study was financed?

For example, take the recent study showing that IgA levels in human milk
were lower after strenuous exercise.  It seems to me the entire point was to
have newspaper headlines saying "Nursing After Exercise Is Bad" (omitting
any mention of ABM's utter lack of immunological properties). Who funded
this study?  Was something of value added to our knowledge base by this
study?
