In what possible way is this not methodological? You're making a specific methodological argument - that we should exclude all industry funded trials from analyses

Ive posed a research question. Next step is to choose a methodology to best answer the question. Methodology second. You are opposing the question.

What?? Your argument is that the current methodology is wrong. Rephrasing that doesn't change anything...

Maybe check back through - I’ve asked we use the methodology (sub-standard as I think it is) bc we have this data set there to run a series of sensitivity analyses. One of which is “if we took our all industry funded research what does that look like”

Right. But there's no justification - that I can see - for such a project, aside from "industry is bad, duh". So it seems to me that, if the methodology used was evidence-based, the analysis you're proposing would not add to the evidence base

Tweeting from train to "healthsville"... methodology - SR&MA was not under dispute at all here. In fact, I'd said, SR&MA IS equipped to run sensitivity analysis to answer the question "what would the ADG look like if we removed industry-funded research"?

And, as I've said, you've offered no scientific justification for that question. Why not just use the current guidelines?

Actually there is a lot of evidence that shows industry influence affects the quality of evidence, how it is interpreted, and also treatment. From big tobacco to pharma. With the epidemic of chronic disease how complacent do you have to be to accept the status quo?

Man, people do love putting words in my mouth. The status quo sucks. Discarding all industry research rather than including it with appropriate caveats is not going to change that

I try my best not to do so. If I have, my apologies.
