Research suggests GM corn danger
Three types of Monsanto’s GM corn do have toxic effects on rats, according to recent research, but it remains to be seen if it holds up any better than previous studies.

In the media
The rural paper, Stock and Land, published a piece on it and the research paper is in the latest International Journal of Biological Sciences. At least this research made it to a peer-reviewed journal. Doubtless, though, the debate will remain he says-she says. I have already seen some evidence of this.
It is too early to provide any critical analysis of the paper – mainly because I rely on people more expert in statistical analysis than me to help. But I will report back on this post as I become more enlightened.
First report back: The authors of this report have put out previous papers (both were criticised, it seems). FSANZ has analysed these papers and responded to them on their web site at this link
