I don't see how it is a deflection? The funding comes from various organizations, why not contact the authors directly so that you know specifics and then can argue against the study more accurately? rather than executing assumptions and generalizations. The funding most likely comes from the state and like I said they fund incredible amounts of subsidies for soybean markets and would be detrimental to promote a narrative that soybean oil isn't as healthy as it is. But that is my assumption, I could be wrong. Don't really care, still not touching soybean oil if I can help it.

The scientific method seems to always be skewed in favour of churning out results that keep funding alive..

If people would follow the money they'd find just about all these "research shows, studies suggest" articles are full of shit..

Not all scientific studies on earth are full of shit.

I just don't value wasting my time on lost causes.. like arguing. Hope you have a good day✌️.. maybe in the future follow people who don't post things that trigger you as such? Also It sounds like you think this post is shining a negative light on coconut oil?...which is doing anything but, so perhaps you haven't even read it yet. Why do you care what oils I like or don't like? Go enjoy your day.
