Well, they were funded by industry, and I call this, this was her words, I call this a calorie distractor.

If you have something to say about the science, why don't you stick to the science and do that instead of quips and ad hominem attacks?

Anyhow, so the food industry traditionally has not done a lot of this.

That study we did, I don't remember the exact number, but it's probably in the neighborhood, especially if we inflated it to today's cost, might be getting close to a million dollars or something.

But that's nothing compared to what we talked about with pharma.

And NIH, I think both have seen often these things as something the industry should fund.

Well, I mean, if it's they're selling it, let them fund it.

Sometimes it's not seen as really deep, big science.

Yes, it's practically interesting, Dr. Allison, but where's the big, deep scientific hypothesis?

And then the last thing is, in my opinion, here's clearly an opinion,
#368 ‒ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.
The misprioritization of funding, and this is something that now we see the NIH addressing very vigorously.

Again, I would agree with some of what they're doing.

I disagree with some of what they're doing, but Jay Bhattacharya, he's a real smart guy, and he, with others, are trying to say, let's repurpose some of the funding.

And I look at the observational epidemiology, which can be very expensive in nutrition,
