Dr Trudy Netherwood: GM DNA is Detectable in Human Digestive Tract
In this Newcastle University study human volunteers fed a single GM soya bean meal showed that GM DNA can survive processing and is detectable in the digestive tract. There was also evidence of horizontal gene transfer to gut bacteria.
