A researcher behind a study of wasabi's effect on cognition says he knew the fiery condiment had health benefits, but "the dramatic change" in memory was a surprise.
The Tohoku University study was published in the journal Nutrients. A wasabi company, Kinjirushi Co., provided funding, though the researchers say the company had no role in the study itself.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you but almost all studies are funded by private companies.
Usually by someone with a financial interest in seeing that the study yelds a result that is beneficial for them.
Of course
Surely this depends on the field? In life sciences it is quite uncommon. Food science, sure…
