The AEF claims that it is 'academically nutral' on its own website. It is in fact a front group for the Advertising and Food industries, which, unsurprisingly, fund it.

On its website it claims:

The Advertising Education Forum (AEF) is a non-profit, academically neutral organisation that offers a comprehensive database of information on advertising and children and related issues. AEF provides open and free access to academic and scientific research on advertising and children and serves as a centre for information on the issue. AEF also provides information on advertising regulation in Europe. To access information on each country's regulatory environment please click on the icon below.[1]
