How much truth is there to be when scientific research is sponsored by food companies? 【foodaily】

You may not believe everything you read, but once these things are attached to the words Scientifics

the relationship between nutrition scientists and food companies is getting closer.

has received sponsorships from major food companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Coca-Cola and McDonald's to support nutrition research and product research of their concern., however, there is a conflict of interest in this partnership. Food brands want what they want (products are sold), and scientists focus on funding scientific research, leaving the public with misinsiries and rumors, and later exaggerated news stories. Let's take a look at some of the examples we've cited today: read onand you'll see that a few real scientific studies are run by large food companies and often hide deeply, or even in footnotes to research papers.found

: Drinking cranberry juice can treat urinary tract infections (
UTI
).For years, people have been told that cranberries can reduce the pain caused by urinary tract infections, but in fact, all the money invested in cranberry juice has drifted away.a recent study published in the
American Journal of Nutrition
found that drinking one cup of cranberry juice a day reduced

the scientific research he funded was wrong. Real cranberries contain an active ingredient called
PACs

to achieve the effect of avoiding bacterial attachment, you need to have a very high concentration of cranberry juice.


Timothy

Health Sciences Center said in a statement that

the concentration of cranberry juice we drink is not that high at all." In our grandparents' time, it may have reached this level, but in this day and age, it is absolutely impossible.

researchers studied only

assumes that you gave
10,
women cranberry juice and
10,
women sugar water as a control group. If

healthier drinking sugar-free soda than drinking water is a ridiculously unscientific fallacy.

” However, according to
FTC
, there is virtually no scientific evidence to support Danon's claims of health. Danon skips the scientific research step of seeking answers and goes straight into the product sales phase. Companies give their products the concept of health benefits out of an understanding of consumers: because if the word

But that doesn't mean you have to eat a lot of cheese all day long. the study was not inherently wrong, the significance of the study was confusing when researchers shared the results with the public. In the end, the study's true intentions were diluted and interpreted as a healthy way to lower cholesterol levels by eating cheese. The study was funded by the Danish Dairy Council and

Marion Nestle

that at least three

independent chocolate studies are sponsored by chocolate companies. The first study noted that chocolate improves cognitive ability in older adults, the second suggests that chocolate improves cardiovascular health in older adults, and the third suggests that chocolate reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
