That goes for ALL studies.
The clue is, if someone isn't interested in a thing, why would he waste money on it?
All scientists, universities, "independent foundations" or whatever ALWAYS have any interest in a study they pay for.
That's why, if you induce a study that AB is good for XY, it turns out right, and if you do the study that AB is bad for XY it turns outt right too.

As long as a study is properly controlled I don't see the problem.
My wife coordinates and is very involved drug tests mainly for diabetic studies.
They are all funded by the medicine companies trying to sell drugs, but the controlls, auditing and checks and balances in place are mind blowing.
So if there is proof it was done properly I am cool with it.

I call BS. Haven't you seen the muscletech ads? They actually have a doctor with a white coat. Also the hydroxycut commericals has a hot woman doctor in a white coat. Only real professionals wear white lab coats.

Scientists don't have bankrolls, Supplement companies do. Same goes for Anti-depresent studies which are almost always supported by the pharmacutical industry because that's where the money is. Look at our study showing our anti-depresent is better than wellbutron and prozac combined! Same goes for everything really, the people doing the studies are the ones pushing the products, that's how most studies get done.

Somebody has to pay for the studies.
Unfortunately, the only people really interested in the effects of supplementation on bodybuilding and performance are athletes and supplements companies.
That's why you really need to read those studies closely and look for as many related studies as possible.
I'm always skeptical when I read a study.
