I had some flak from the ADA (American Diabetes Association) thread because I was calling out the conflicts of interests caused by donations from corporations, big pharma with indtitutions like the ADA, AHA and regulatory bodies. Instead of focusing on facts, science and educating people, hijacked by mammon.

Shit like this causes people to lose trust in institutions and helps feed conspiracy theories and create grifters who take advantage of this loss in trust. If you cant trust the people in charge, people who establish themselves as experts, then the chances that there are more Aaron Rodgers out there doing their own research will only grow.
