Direct collaboration or funding from meat corporations or companies was rare; instead, industry associations were identified as research supporters.
Wtf? That means if a study contacted anyone related to meat industry for any purpose, including “how much meat is in your meat product per kg”, it is tainted as “backed by meat industry”.
Edit, oh and a few paragraphs later they say that if a study gave positive results, even if its lacking any meat association, then it must mean the authors were hiding it on purpose (based on what? Vibes I guess)
Edit 2:
Studies with declared industry ties were approximately 23 times more likely (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 12.7–43.9) to conclude favorably regarding the meat product.
This is solid. Solid conclusion. They do note that those studies were mostly also more experimental. Too lazy to check the actual methodologies to check if those were solid science or bullcrap.
Very manipulative headline.
