This just in: sell-out fuckers suck.

A community to post scientific articles, news, and civil discussion.
rule #1: be kind
And this kind of shit unfortunately is fuel for anti-vaxxers and conspiracy types. It's not just misinformation on social media that we have to thank for people's mistrust, it's also the scientists that downplayed how bad sugar is or who turned a blind eye to what cigarettes do in the interests of money.
"I just take scientists out and give them a bunch of funding for their research, and they always give me the results I want. Now of course they could always say no, but they won't because of the implication. You know, that if they produced results that disagreed with me, that I would refuse to fund future studies. Of course I would never do that, but they don't know that. So they give positive results for me. You know, because of the implication."
Did any of the studies find it delicious?
I'm reminded of the scientist paid for by big tobacco in Thank You for Smoking...
And this is yet another reason why we need independent science funding, kids
Ain't that a surprise. Studies on the effects sugary drinks have on your health backed by Coca Cola are also funny
