about ILSI:

http://cspinet.org/integrity/nonprofits/international_life_sciences_institute.html

INTERNATIONAL LIFE SCIENCES INSTITUTE

Founded "in 1978 to work toward a safer, healthier world. ILSI is a
worldwide foundation that is making a difference in public health by
advancing the understanding of scientific issues related to nutrition,
food safety, toxicology, and the environment. ILSI is governed by an
Assembly of Members, which includes one representative from each of its
more than 400 member companies, and an elected Board of Trustees of
renowned scientists from academia and industry, all of whom volunteer
their time and expertise. ILSI members represent the world's leading
manufacturers of food and food ingredients, chemicals, pharmaceuticals,
and other consumer products." (http://www.ilsi.org/about/; September
22, 2000) ILSI has branches in about a dozen other countries/regions.

In 2006, the World Health Organization excluded ILSI from WHO
committees that set global standards for food and water supplies
because of links between ILSI membership and funding from the
commercial sector. (Clapp, Stephen. "ILSI excluded from WHO
standard-setting activities," Food Chemical News, 2/13/06).

ILSI has received funding from the alcoholic beverage industry.
(Addiction. 2001;96:197-202)

ILSI's fall, 1996, N.Y. Academy of Science conference on fat
substitutes was funded in part by Procter & Gamble (Mother Jones,
May/June, 1997, p.14).

Take your food industry propaganda and shove it.

Talk about cherry picking.

Excluding food industry mouthpieces as credible science is not cherry
picking. It is separating the marketting from the science. If you don't
separate the crap from the science, you will have a skewed
understanding of nutrition. You might actually believe that sugar is
harmless, that soy is a real food, or that calories are an accurate
measure to use to predict weight loss or gain.

TC

Who would be a credible person to report the makeup of the National Weight
Control Registry? Would you require it to be a small-scale organic farmer
with no ties to the food industry at all?

BTW, if you've lost weight and kept it off, you can join the registry at:
