A large number of researchers are given all kinds of awards and paid
positions on "committees" and other appointments under the umbrella of
the ILSI. Industry uses this group to pay their lackeys and assorted
corrupt lackey medical practitioners and researchers. Any connection to
ILSI should be seen as overt corruption.

George Cherry said:WHO to Rely Less on U.S. Research
By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer
Fri Jan 27, 6:55 PMUPDATED 18 HOURS 52 MINUTES AGO
WASHINGTON - A U.S.-based research foundation is being barred by the World
Health Organization from helping set global standards for protecting food
and water supplies because of its funding sources.
However, the nonprofit International Life Sciences Institute, which is
funded by hundreds of chemical, food and drug companies, will remain as one
of nearly 200 "non-governmental organizations" that WHO views as working
partners.
The Washington-based institute can no longer take part in WHO activities
setting microbiological or chemical standards for food and water, the U.N.
health agency's executive board decided Friday in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Working Group, United
Steelworkers of America and 15 other health, environmental and union groups
asked WHO in December to sever ties with the institute.
"The WHO and other public health agencies risk their scientific credibility
and may be compromising public health by partnering with ILSI," NRDC senior
scientist Jennifer Sass wrote WHO on behalf of the advocacy groups and
unions.
Sass said the institute "has a demonstrated history of putting the interests
of its exclusively corporate membership ahead of science and health
concerns, and that ILSI's special status with the WHO provides a back door
to influence WHO activities."
The groups and unions noted that WHO guidelines require it to limit its
dealings to those "free from concerns which are primarily of a commercialor
profit-making nature."
Suzanne Harris, the institute's executive director, said Friday that ILSI
doesn't participate in setting the standard for managing risks in protecting
food and water supplies. She said ILSI conducts top research and that, since
winning recognition from WHO about 15 years ago, it has collaborated on
several studies, most recently to promote healthier lifestyles in Chile,
Mexico and Brazil.
"We are not a back door for industry," Harris, a biochemist and former
Agriculture deputy assistant secretary in the Reagan administration, saidin
an interview. "We try to do everything transparently. Nothing we do is
hidden. It all gets published."
Sixty percent of the institute's funding comes from its member companies,
Harris said. Another 20 percent comes from grants from private foundations
and government agencies, she said, while the other 20 percent is drawn from
sales of publications and meeting fees. She said the foundation doesn't do
"proprietary research" that would benefit a single company.
"Our goal is improving public health, and we believe that that in itself
benefits our membership. We're not trying to sell anything," Harris said.
The institute's member companies include Bayer AG, Coca-Cola, Dow
Agrosciences/Dow Chemical, DuPont, ExxonMobil, General Mills, Hershey Foods,
Kellogg, Kraft, McDonald's, Merck & Co., Monsanto, Nestle, Novartis,
PepsiCo, Pfizer and Proctor & Gamble.
