If I were a member of the public in Australia (which I am) I would be outraged to know how much "vested interest" has gone into our national food guidelines. Especially under these circumstances where our collective public food-health policies have not met their objective!https://twitter.com/rosestant70/status/1004562511205560321 …
But I would question the reasonableness of excluding all industry-funded research a priori given that this is not the norm anywhere in public health research for a good reason: bias is too complex to single out a specific piece like that

That is one bias that is obvious, universal, easiest to identify. Reasons not to do it do not out weight the benefit in current socio-political food-health landscapes. If we didn't have the highest rate of food-related chronic disease, you may have a point.

"Telling people what to eat" based on one type of science (biomedical) is recognised as a mismatch with real life....to remove the most obvious bias, and the bias most public would want removed is a public service to health.

as a first step. It will be time consuming thought bc the "spreadsheet" of evidence did not identify "industry funded" as yes/no.
