Sorry, I wasn't trying to make that a political statement about Monsanto. They're just an easy name to pluck out of the air because they have a few known controversial studies to make a point. It wasn't supposed to suggest that Monsanto was evil or that the science wasn't legit. All I'm saying is that if ACME Co. funds a study that suggests ACME Co. are good, then the test results look pretty sketchy.

And do this a few dozen times and people stop listening to science because they know a couple of months from now, this study is going to be refuted.
