MODERATORS
Yeah, that study is worthless.
My first thought when I read the post title was "cool study bro, now let's see someone else replicate it a couple times over."
Not necessarily disagreeing with you but almost all studies are funded by private companies.
Usually by someone with a financial interest in seeing that the study yelds a result that is beneficial for them.
Of course
And that's why you should wait for independent confirmation before trusting studies with conflict of interest.
Surely this depends on the field? In life sciences it is quite uncommon. Food science, sure...
