New findings supporting concerns that GM crops might damage human health are to be released by scientist Arpad Pusztai this week in a book called 'Food Safety'. Pusztai, previously a plant researcher at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, lost his job in 1998 after appearing on 'World in Action' condemning the use of GM crops – reporting that rats fed on GM potatoes had suffered gut lesions, retarded growth and other symptoms.
