""The solution is really very simple. Eliminate all financial conflicts of interest in research. "
You mix up criticism of epidemiological studies with the problem of financial conflicts… It is an error of conception in your paper. Uncertainty linked to epidemiological studies is consubstantial with the data collected in those studies. Nothing to do with financial conflicts. For instance taxpayer money funded a lot of epidemiological studies about nutrition which are of poor value except for Harvard which detains the huge database… 
It is far preferable to rely on randomised control studies funded by private money. And one of the best changes in this field is open data."
This comment is a good analysis of the very deceptive trend in some circles of medical literature. Big pharma is not an enemy it is a big power and we have to deal with big powers every time we care for patients.
Those big powers are the government and its agencies, third payers and their interests, hospitals and inpatient care organisations, professional care organisations, lawyers...
Facing the issues raised by the conflicting interests of those big powers is unavoidable.





On another subject, I will comment later on assertions of this paper especially about the CABANA study.
