Food Industry Funded Research Bias

Using the tobacco industry playbook, food companies have been caught trying to undermine public health policies by manipulating the scientific process.



Here are some examples:

The meat industry hired the same PR firm paid to downplay the risks of tobacco and candy.

Dr Greger should recieve the Nobel prize for medicine. Dear Dr. Greger, thank you for your selfless work for the benefit of so many people. Please keep up the good work !

I prefer the nutrition-focused videos, BUT this one is spot-on brilliant! Every now and then we need a reminder WHO is pushing disastrous health policy. The fact these industries see this as just a game to make money is sickening. "Public health" should not be a punchline for big business.

This should be on the news on all tv's for all to see. The people doing those things like Phillip Morris need psychological help.. and a jail sentence!

I hear that one of those Doctors shows was saying that a bowl of icecream was healthier than and equal size bowl of bananas, because it had less carbs.:(

Maybe you can do a video on if there is sufficient data to prove marijuana works medicinally better than some drugs? On cancer and that sort of thing?

Love the videos, keep up the great work!

We need to be reminded that "concentrated" juices are rehydrated with city "tap" water - not to mention the added poison of fluoride in the water.  And what else do restaurants cook there food in - much less "Kraft" processed foods?

Could you please do a video on vitamin B17 and cancer growth? See if it is quackery or not.

great video!if people would only see it's a cycle of bs.

It's amazing to me that this kind of flagrant misdirection can be legal. WRITE your Representitve.

Dr. Michael Gregor, you're my hero.

Would vegan foods like Gardein's "fishless filet" be considered highly processed?
