    Being a research scientist, "Peer-reviewed" means that the data and the conclusions in the article were reviewed by other competent scientists in that particular field prior to publication (in this case, nutrition and disease)...it does NOT mean that the research was supported my 'moneyed interests".  Please don't make blanket statements about something you obviously don't know about...

    Also, when studies "appear" to contradict themselves, it usually means that there were several variables (also known as "confounding factors") in the studies that were not accounted for...it is VERY difficult for any study to account for ALL the variables between people that link diet to disease (i.e. ethnicity, lifestyle, disease history, inherent (i.e. genetic) metabolic differences, home & work environmental, hours of sleep, stress levels, etc.), these variable are endless...and even very well-designed studies can't account for all the variability between humans....
