Welcome to our new section on key GMO safety studies. We have carefully selected key studies on the topic of GM food safety and health and analysed them for readers at three levels:
Quick peek – a short and simple explanation At-a-glance – a more substantial but still brief overview In-depth analysis – a detailed review of the study for the more scientifically-oriented reader.
Rats fed the genetically modified yeast-derived protein soy leghemoglobin – the burger’s key ingredient – developed unexplained weight gain and signs of toxicity. Report by Claire Robinson and Michael Antoniou, PhD
In a rat feeding study, genetically modified (GM) Bt insecticidal corn caused altered blood biochemistry, organ damage (including damage to liver and kidney), and potential impacts on male fertility.
