Here's a challenge - find me a positive blueberry study that was not funded by the blueberry industry

Don’t have time to review the entire blueberry literature right now but here’s the thing. Someone has to fund research and if its not the authorities or charities (rarely) it will be private industry. That is how the current system is. I hope CO-19 will lead to more independent

research. On all compounds that can help people in different situations. But I see no special reason to single out natural compounds/supplements when the BS going on in pharma is so much worse/conflicted/damaging.

I mean, to an extent, but while medications are researched by lots of different groups for many reasons, the only people who research blueberries are the Wild Blueberry Association and the North American Blueberry Council. They also both tend to publish awful research

Yeah and most published research these days is pretty awful across the board IMO. But it’s very hard to disassociate economic incentives unfortunately. And «curative incentives» & necessary personalized treatments (very costly) are/will be broadly lacking.https://mobile.twitter.com/JuliaB_fitness/status/1332862339293589505 …

I agree, it is hard to disassociate the direct financial incentives of the blueberry companies from the awful trials that they publish

You are obsessing about something very trivial. Doesn’t make you look very good. Blueberries are good for everyone.

I'm simply pointing out the fact that most blueberry research is a) shockingly bad b) sponsored by the companies that sell blueberries

My point is that the same is true for most sponsered research across the board. But not a single person has ever been damaged by blueberries in any delivery form. But untold people die and are damaged every years because of prescription drugs used as intented.

It's not tho. Drug research sponsored by pharmaceutical companies is, on average, better quality, and medications are researched by more than just pharma
