So essentially, the scientists/people conducting study have incentive to exaggerate / overstate their findings in order to stay employed. No results = layoffs. That's just the harsh reality of the business, for probably both drug and supplement companies. It gets even more mind boggling when you consider that you can find a study to support the opposite side for almost everything.

We should give our scientists better job security
I completely agree with this. Some places are better, but most scientists in the US are soft funded out of grants that they must compete for with the NIH. If they have a gap in NIH funding they often lose their University positions within the year and that is insane to me!
