In its current issue, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition [3] acknowledges that a review of soft drinks and obesity (which challenges links between the one and the other) was funded by the American Beverage Association [4]. But the journal excludes information that one of the authors personally and professionally has had close ties to the beverage industry. "(T)he Associated Press reported last year that [Researcher Adam] Drewnowski owns stock in beverage companies and much of his prior research has been financed by the beverage industry," reports the Center for Science in the Public Interest [5] (CSPI). Another study by Drewnowski was funded by the Corn Refiners Association and American Beverage Institute [6]. The journal article's co-author, France Bellisle, for his part, sits on an advisory board for McDonald's [7]. Researchers, including CSPI staff, have written that industry-financed studies predictably reach conclusions [8] favorable to the beverage companies.
