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 …
So let's exclude all poorly-randomized studies then. Or ones that aren't preregistered. Or don't use sample size calculations. Or don't publish data openly. Or have high dropout rates. These are all pretty simple biases, after all!

Sure....pop them into the sensitivity analysis too. All reasonable items to go into the mix.

No, I mean, they do indeed go into the mix - that's how you get gradations of evidence (A, B, C etc). What you're suggesting is that we prioritize a single source of bias, exclude all studies with that source, and then analyze the data - that is not best practice/evidence-based!

Gid, are you genuinely comfortable that we have a dominant public health policy (ADG), where, by it's own admission is based on GRADE C evidence that "compliance with the ADG improved morbidity and mortality"...?

Do you think ignoring study guessing methodology in favor of arbitrary delineation would improve the state of the evidence?

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