trans fatty acids: Industry vs Science



On the obituary of Fred A. Kummerow, there is an interesting story on trans fatty acids...

"Interviewed for this obituary in 2016, Professor Kummerow said that in the 1960s and ’70s the processed food industry, enjoying a cozy relationship with scientists, played a large role in keeping trans fats in people’s diets.
“Other scientists were more interested in what the industry was thinking than what I was thinking,” he said. He was often heckled by industry representatives when he presented his research at scientific conferences, he said."

So, at the battle Industry vs Science, who is the winner?
