Here's a response from Dr. Michael Hansen, a researcher with Consumers Union, to an enquiry from Luke Anderson about the recent allergy study in which Portuguese researchers gave skin prick allergy tests to at a group of adults and children to see whether they reacted differently to GM corn and soy than conventional varieties. They reported finding no differences but the research has attracted marked criticism. http://www.gmwatch.org/ archive2.asp?arcid=5669 Dr Hansen's response contains some fascinating and suggestive detail on the potential allergy risk of GM foods.
