Anti-GM "Study" Debunked
AgProfessional ran a story in November about another anti-biotechnology "study" being thoroughly discredited by mainstream scientists around the world. Shoddy experimental design and a clear conflict of interest on the part of the principal author should mark this "report" for the recycling can.  Principal author Seralini's credibility account was depleted long ago, and is now severely overdrawn.

Yet how many people will share this "study" on Facebook and Twitter, or send it out to their friends, without bothering to see if it is scientifically valid or even truthful? 

What is true is that biotechnology crops have been used since 1996 - 16 years - without one single documented adverse effect on human health or the environment. Technology has always been the driver of productivity in agriculture, from mechanization, improved cultural practices, plant breeding, fertilizers and crop protection products to today's precision agriculture technologies. Hopefully we will not need to see people starve in greater numbers to believe that more productive agricultural technology, with appropriate regulatory oversight, is essential for the survival of our species.
