Scientist Who Discredited Meat Guidelines Didn’t Report Past Food Industry Ties
The
lead researcher, Bradley C. Johnston, said he was not required to
report his past relationship with a powerful industry trade group.
"In an interview,
Dr. Johnston said his past relationship with ILSI had no influence on
the current research on meat recommendations. He said he did not report
his past relationship with ILSI because the disclosure form asked only
about potential conflicts within the past three years. Although the
ILSI-funded study publication falls within the three-year window, he
said the money from ILSI arrived in 2015, and he was not required to
report it for the meat study disclosure.
“That
money was from 2015 so it was outside of the three year period for
disclosing competing interests,” said Dr. Johnston. “I have no
relationship with them whatsoever.”"
