The National Institutes of Health’s
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) have been encouraging a $100 million fund on clinical research in order to achieve the result that moderate drinking would benefit human being. It is reported that the executives of these alcohol companies are freely able to choose the nutritionists, scientists as well as preview the results coming out from labs. Scientists who published the truth rather than a modified result was cut off from funding. “The obvious conflict of interest is that the funder of this research stands to benefit when the research comes out with findings that encourage more people to use its products,” said David Jernigan, professor at Boston University School of Public Health. The problem arises is that sponsors would drop out if the rate of consumption decreases. Therefore the alcohol industries have no options other than influencing lab results to show that the products are good for consumers.
