Funding for the study was provided by McMaster University, CIHR, and the Dairy Farmers of Canada

Yep, no biased study here.

Got nothing to do with bias. I get funding from many agencies and have for 25 years. With one exception, all accepted the study findings as is—they may not like the results, but the data stands as is, in all cases. The one exception involved lawyers for a CA-based chemical company—they didn’t like the results and wanted me to reinterpret them. Being a conservative, I refused and said there were no options, that the data spoke for itself. I assembled a paper for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, sent it to the funding agent for approval since one of their scientist was an author, and subsequently received a very threatening letter from their legal council not to publish or face lawsuit—the university hung me out to dry—end of story.
