A heavily promoted meta-analysis claiming to demonstrate the benefits of GM crops, especially in developing countries, does no such thing, writes Prof Jack Heinemann
EXCERPT: It is very difficult to get solid indicators of the actual contribution GM cropping makes in places in which it is being used. This is why I question the unequivocal statements made by some scientists about benefits. Their conclusions appear to be uncoupled from the strength of the data.

* A heavily promoted meta-analysis claiming to demonstrate the benefits of GM crops especially in developing countries does no such thing.
* It fails to separate from the GM trait the effects of confounding variables that are known to dramatically affect all measured parameters.
* Commentators are presenting misleading interpretations.
