Cases

Fraud, errors and gamesmanship in experimental toxicology: GM potatoes

What is this about?

It discusses several case studies in the field of toxicology briefly, and a few particular extensively. One is the work of Árpád Pusztai on the toxic dietary effects of genetically modified potato on experimental rats has many interesting facets. Pusztai's conclusions on toxicity were in the public domain - via a TV interview he gave - before the results were published. This interview had widespread implications for the future of GM crops and food. A frenzied debate then occurred in the media, with scientists, politicians and single interest groups expressing their views. About a year later, when the manuscript was published, it received extensive criticism regarding its experimental design and reliability.

For whom is this important?
