Controversies over the evaluation of health safety of products of plants transgenesis ; Kontrowersje w ocenie bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego produktów transgenezy roślin

The paper provides an overview of the most important in vivo experiments,concerning herbicide tolerant soybean and Bt maize, quoted by the opponentsof GMOs, as to justify opposition to the use of CM crops in animal feed and foodproduction. The results of these experiments were confronted with similarstudies performed by other research teams. Relatively few in vivo experimentshave demonstrated significant differences in selected parameters of metabolicand health status of animals fed diets with soya or GM maize diets. Concludingon that basis that HT soybean and Bt maize may pose health threat to animalsand humans is not eligible. ; prace przeglądowe ; The paper provides an overview of the most important in vivo experiments,concerning herbicide tolerant soybean and Bt maize, quoted by the opponentsof GMOs, as to justify opposition to the use of CM crops in animal feed and foodproduction.
