      The question “what would the ADG look like if we excluded industry funded studies?” To answer that question (which we can) one selects the best methodology. It appears you are saying the methodology is so intricately flawed it’s not worth pulling that thread?

      Not at all. I'm saying that it is methodologically flawed to pick out one source of bias and declare it supreme, when we know - there are plenty of meta-studies on this - that industry funding is but one area that could potentially affect the outcomes of a study

      It’s a research question - it’s cannot be methodologically flawed. That’s my point. Methodology selected to answer question. Not the other way round. It’s a valid and important question. I have no idea why you’d oppose such a question.

      It comes back to the point - what is bias? What is industry influence? How does it affect trials? Your claim is that it makes trials entirely worthless and not worth considering at all. I find that idea unsupported by best evidence

      How much evidence is enough to change practice? Bc IMO there is more than enough to support such a research question. That aside, I’m quite sure if we put such a question to public vote (bc it’s everyone’s food supply) there’d be enough interest to investigate.

      We know wat bias is, we know how to identify it, we know how to interpret.....none of this precludes posing a research question to be answered. If we applied your “but bias” to every research question, Cochrane would not exist.

      But justifying a years' long research project requires some scientific backing. What is the evidence that you are basing your rejection of industry-funded research - above and beyond any other source of bias - on?

      As I’ve said....this is not some year 10 project proposal, this is an investment in public health. The entire ADG cost 2.1milln. That’s cheap. As I also said Australia’s food-health is at stake. #WeCanDoBetter

      Right, but that's not a justification really. What's the scientific impetus behind your argument? Why is this more important than anything else?

      Right now we are using a set of “evidence-based guidelines to tell a population what to eat that are in toto GRADE C evidence” And, in response to FRCD we are defaulting to these GL as “the way forward”. If you’re comfortable with that gid, great. I am not. #WeCanDoBetter

      I mean, still totally off topic. Let me rephrase: why are you asking to exclude any industry-funded research from any evidence reviews? If anything, this would likely lower the quality of the review!
