Is there any reason to believe that folks who have a “corporate agenda” are any more or less trustworthy, or shills, or misleading, or whatever pejorative you wish to use, than the myriad folks who have an “anti-corporate” agenda?

Has anyone catalogued or otherwise articulated how self interest can be affecting research with findings going the other way?
