From the article: The US government and the mass media selectively promote research that is favorable to the fish oil industry.
Don't countries with completely public health systems have the opposite incentive? Health care costs so much that certainly at least some countries in the world are actually interested in reducing costs associated with self-inflicted conditions...
I always have a hard time buying hard-core conspiracy theories against contrarian science. There is so much incentive in being the only "right" person if you can really prove it that there are always people trying to be that guy... right?

- jseifer 17y agoAlthough "selectively promoting" seems like a pretty mild conspiracy theory, I agree with you on the whole conspiracy theory angle. That kind of supporting evidence almost always lowers believability of the rest of an overall argument. The article would be just as, if not more, effective without that statement.
