A statistical reanalysis and review of experimental data presented in some of the studies claiming possible technology-related health concerns influenced the public opinion on genetically modified food safety found that quite often in contradiction with the authors’ conclusions the data actually provides weak evidence of harm that cannot be differentiated from chance.

GM food and human health

Misinformation in the media: global coverage of GMOs 2019-2021.

It is concluded that misinformation about GMOs in the mainstream media is still a significant problem, and outranks the proportion of misinformation in other comparable debates such as COVID-19 and vaccines.

Comments on two recent publications on GM maize and Roundup

It is argued for a cautious approach to the potential application of -omics technologies in food safety assessments as these exceptionally sensitive and complex methods require a thorough and detailed evaluation of the biological significance of obtained results.

Glyphosate-based herbicides and cancer risk: a post-IARC decision review of potential mechanisms, policy and avenues of research

The goal of this review is to consider the state of science regarding glyphosate's potential as a human carcinogen and genotoxin, with particular focus on studies suggesting mechanisms that would go largely undetected in traditional toxicology studies, such as microbiome disruption and endocrine mimicry at very low concentrations.

Intended and unintended consequences of genetically modified crops – myth, fact and/or manageable outcomes?

ABSTRACT Food and feed has been produced from genetically modified (GM) crops for 25 years. It is timely to review whether this technology has globally delivered the expected benefits and whether the…

Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true.

On risk and regulation: Bt crops in India.

India's official position on agricultural biotechnology has been promotional, as expected from a developmental state, but regulation of Bt crops has rested in a section of the state operating more on precautionary than developmental logic.

An overview of the last 10 years of genetically engineered crop safety research

The scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of GE crops; however, the debate is still intense and an improvement in the efficacy of scientific communication could have a significant impact on the future of agricultural GE.

When to use the Bonferroni correction

The purpose of this article was to survey the use of the Bonferroni correction in research articles published in three optometric journals and to provide advice to authors contemplating multiple testing.
