THE SAFETY OF GMO: STUDIES ARE BASED ON NON SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONS

Frédéric JACQUEMART, May 2014

The highly publicized publication of Snell et al. [1] has been widely touted as a definitive proof of the safety of Genetically Modified Plants (GM Plants) and the adequacy of toxicological evaluation methods applied to them. Others have strongly criticized the validity of the authors’ conclusions.
Closely following the GMO dossier for many years, Senator Marie-Christine Blandin (Green party) wanted an official point to be made on the findings of this publication in order to inform the public debate. She therefore asked the HCB for a scientific opinion, asking some very specific questions, sufficiently enough to be difficult to circumvent.
The result is of major significance: not only have the main conclusions of the mediatized article been invalidated, but has therefore shown that no known publication to date said to be scientific, purporting to show the safety of GM Plants through long-term or multigenerational studies is conclusive! We knew it, but to see it officially confirmed really changes the face of public debate.
