"Stunted organ and brain growth and
breakdowns in their immune systems."



This article does not clearly describe that
herbicide resistance will lead to more
toxic herbicide residue?

However, it does describe the situation.

Genetic modification of food has been
a relatively unquestioned phenomenon
in the United States and Canada, but
its arrival in Britain has united
demonstrators against what they call
"Frankenstein food."

"The first case to arouse concern was
a study conducted by Dr. Arpad Pusztai,
a 69-year-old scientist with the Rowett
Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland,
who told a BBC television documentary
last August that the British public was
being used as "guinea pigs" for the
testing of genetically modified food.

He said he based his conclusion on tests
he had conducted in which rats that were
fed genetically altered potatoes
experienced stunted organ and brain
growth and breakdowns in their immune
systems. "


Awaiting "peer review" studies.
