Profit

Some people I know will not even consider the possibility of truth behind information without a "repeatable double-blind study" to back it up. They throw their own intelligence, powers of observation and objectivity, their ability to deduct and use logic, and understand cause-and-effect, as well as their own personal "experiments" -away. This is unfortunate because in order to complete scientific studies, these studies have to be funded. And, more often than not they are funded by companies with agendas that are self-serving in increasing their profit margin and not necessarily on the greatest good for the greatest number of people. The sugar industry is probably number one, followed closely by dairy. Therefore, people who ONLY rely on studies for health information, are a lot more likely to make unhealthy food choices. Understanding the power of profit is very important for your health.
