"This research was funded by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), a contractor to the Beef Checkoff."

You win! (Your observation was why I posted the article.)

As an amateur private researcher I am tired of these studies and they should be ended and all health studies performed by publicly funded projects.

Publicly funded projects get conflicts of interest too.

My strategy is to let conflicting parties fight it out over round of publication. This has at least three major benefits:

    1. It forces the conflicting parties to be open and release their data for scrutinization. 
    2. It tests the peer-review process, helping create improvements that benefit all peer reviewing.
    3. It lead snarky journal articles, which are more fun to read.
