Top industry actors by # of DGAC members they reached: @meadjohnson @GeneralMills @KelloggsUS @AbbottNews & @ILSI_Global.
Top industry actors by # of COI: @ILSI_Global & trade associations/programs funded by industry (California Walnut Commission, @almondboard & Beef Checkoff).

Each of these actors has diverse means and ends to potentially influence scientific research and the DGA process, although it was beyond the scope of this paper to research instances of this potential influence on outcomes.
As always, a great team effort to uncover these #COI. Thanks to my co-authors @p_serodio @acarriedo @bigfatsurprise & team
