An excellent example for Qn 2 below....we need o be wary of research funded by MNCs as vested corporate interests are involved....
other than the Coke eg, there are also research b conducted tobacco companies about the effects of smoking and second-hand smoke in causing cancer......we need to be a bit sceptical if the research findings funded by these MNCs play down the danger of their products....

Excerpt:
Coke's involvement in the new organisation is not the only example of corporate-funded research and advocacy to come under fire lately. The American Society for Nutrition and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics have been criticised by public health advocates for forming partnerships with various food companies, including Kraft Foods, McDonald's, PepsiCo and Hershey's.

Qns:
1)The key to good health is lifestyle rather than medicine. How far do you agree? (Cam. 2010)
2)To what extent is it acceptable for private companies to be involved in financing scientific research? (Cam.2011)
