If you challenge my findings, it will hurt my profits

FTFY.

I found this publication in the British Medical Journal interesting about how evidence-based medicine is undermined by financial incentives. Science is the best institution we have for understanding the truth, but it’s far from incorruptible. It’s especially disappointing that the companies profiting from a product are in many instances the ones doing the studies to prove their safety and effectiveness. The corporate capture of the governmental agencies tasked with regulating them is also quite concerning, as is the state of academia.
