Skip TC's comment about 'these guys are making millions', though.

But TC thrives on this notion of conspiracy and uses as proof at every
bend in the low carb road. I hope this sudden news doesn't come as a
shock and leap off a two foot bridge to sprain his ankle. Then again,
he'll just ignore it and continue on. he will never let facts get in the
way of his story.

Some of us don't buy into the notion of businesses throwing money away
on anything. They exist to make a profit. They don't put money into
anything that doesn't provide a return on investment. Business 101.
They invest in studies that will support their product. If a study does
not support the funders product, the study is buried and the researcher
will either have to do without further funding, ever, or learn to toe
the line and return results that make the business money.

If you are naive enough to believe that companies give money away to
researchers and are happy to let the chips (results) fall where they
may, regardless of the impact on their ability to make a profit on
their products, then I've got a bridge you might want to look at.

Most science (70% +) has become an extension of corporate marketing,
and the scientists get paid well to go along with it. It is fact.
