They're also behind Similac, and have a history of funding research that makes infant formula look better than it actually is.
As others note, this doesn't make the study automatically invalid, but it does make it highly suspect. I'm personally growing rather tired of industry-funded nutritional research that inevitably makes the product being pushed by the funder look good, often in contradiction to other research funded by opposite industries.
