Observational studies vs. randomized controlled trials. How legitimate is the common corporate criticism of the scientific nutrition literature that the credibility of observational studies is questionable?

This is the third in an eight-part series on how industries impact dietary and health guidelines. The first two videos introduced what happened when the 2015 Dietary Guidelines committee recommended reducing sugar consumption: How Big Sugar Undermines Dietary Guidelines (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-big-sugar-undermines-dietary-guidelines) and How Big Sugar Manipulated the Science for Dietary Guidelines (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-big-sugar-manipulated-the-science-for-dietary-guidelines).                          
 
Next, we will look at the recent articles in the Annals of Internal Medicine on meat consumption:
●   Failing GRADE for Annals of Internal Medicine Meat Studies (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/failing-grade-for-annals-of-internal-medicine-meat-studies)
●   Conflicts of Interest in the Annals of Internal Medicine Meat Studies (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/conflicts-of-interest-in-the-annals-of-internal-medicine-meat-studies)
●   The Health Risks vs. Benefits of Meat Consumption (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-health-risks-vs-benefits-of-meat-consumption)
