GM proteins in soy, corn and papaya may be allergens

  1. Tests cannot guarantee that a GM protein will not cause allergies.

  2. The WHO and FAO offer criteria that help minimize the likelihood that allergenic GM
    crops are approved.

  3. GM soybeans, corn, and papaya fail those criteria.

  4. The GM proteins from these foods are too similar to known allergens.

  5. This evidence was ignored by regulators, who approved the crops.
