Sure. The article that I linked contained a prime example for why meta-studies aren't per se an unquestionable gold standard:
Ctrl-F "looked at 800 studies, but they used only 18"
...not coming from me, but from one of the members of the committee working on that study.
For your linked study: They have looked _only_ at _this specific_ sponsorship correlation, not at the outcome of studies sponsored by other/all/any interest-groups in general.
That's my point.

@Dragofix@veganism.social Also, important: This thread is not about what to eat, and what not to. It's about something to be aware of that naturally comes with science, in _all_ directions. For example: Check what Coca Cola's research has found out. Rumor has it (*) that their research budget is higher than that of the NIH. (*) I haven't validated the rumor about their budget, but the argument holds either way
