Report Warns Of Biases in Drink Studies

"The team found that studies funded by industry were four
to eight times more likely to show bias in favor of
sponsors' products than studies that did not receive
industry funding."

Not really surprising and, given that IP blocks can be
circumvented, the more interesting part involves how the
study was performed and how it can be applied to reliable
sources.

They excluded studies, extracted from the "National Library
of Medicine's Medline database", that didn't cite funding
sources.

In short, eliminate not only citations and the content
based on it that are funded by industry, but those that
don't provide funding citations.  Nothing truly new when
compared to WP:NPOV and WP:V, but maybe another way of
looking at and evaluating citations that has not been
explicitly stated.
