<h1>Industry-Funded Conference on Nuts and Dried Fruit Raises Conflicts, Consent, Data Sharing, and Health Claim Regulatory Risks</h1> Researchers at an international conference, organized by academic institutions and an industry-funded council, identified research priorities on nuts and dried fruit and discussed pooling cohort data from about one million participants. Legal issues include potential conflicts of interest stemming from industry funding, data protection and consent for multinational data sharing, and regulatory strategy to seek a health claim in the United States. Proposed multicenter trials aimed at influencing clinical guidelines and official dietary recommendations raise compliance, disclosure, and advertising regulatory considerations for sponsors and investigators.
