as mentioned in my "Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments" article, over a period of 42 years, the tobacco industry spent over $220 million funding over 1500 scientific studies, yet not a single one of these studies could find a relationship between tobacco and lung cancer, heart disease, etc. As I mentioned in that article, a group of high school students with a phone book could prove a relationship between tobacco and lung cancer. My point to mentioning this fact was that scientists are more than willing to accept money to do bogus scientific studies.
