Coca-Cola gained control over health research in return for funding, health journal says

Using Freedom of Information Act requests, researchers at the University of Cambridge identified more than 87,000 pages of documents that included five agreements between Coca-Cola and universities in the U.S. and Canada. The provisions gave Coca-Cola the right to review research in advance of the publications. It also was allowed to have control over data and disclosure of any study results.

Researchers are concerned about the consequences of terminating corporate-funded public health research early, saying that doing so could stifle getting critical health information out to the public. The findings also support concerns by nutrition experts that the food industry may be following in the footsteps of the tobacco industry by shaping research to its benefit.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

Not uncommon at all. Companies give universities money in exchange for their desired research results.

hoyawolf Misleading. Manuscript review prior to publication is standard, especially for non-federal sponsors. Allowing company to contol data/results depends on ownership of data/results and materials.

MackenzieMays Here's an idea: all research should have the donors to that research listed on the papers, even before the abstract.

I love the brown water
