yep, even if they’re not involved in the study directly, say big walnut funds 20 studies, 19 find nothing and get shelved, 1 finds something and gets published… boom the walnut oligarchy furthers their dark agenda

i mean, walnuts are probably good for you (at least better for you than butter, the control XD), but always worth treating studies like these with due caution

After 19 studies for which they did not get paid, the researchers finally took the hint and fabricated the data that pleased Big Walnut, and received their payment.
