GM crops aren't safer...report says

This has been my thought all along.  The "absence of evidence" is not evidence of safety.  Of course they aren't going to do those studies when they want to sell their product as "safe".  There is enough research showing harm, but less that ties it directly to disease or illness.  I have research article after research article that show a tie between celiac and glyphosate.  But, no direct studies have been done, yet.  So, yes, there is "absence of evidence of harm" for very specific situations, but no "evidence of safety" and certainly no studies disputing the ties I have found.

The lead researcher in a report commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency and released by the Genok Centre for Biosafety at the Arctic University of Norway says,
"Statements of the safety of GM crops rely principally on the absence of evidence of harm in specific research tests, rather than actual evidence of safety", said Catacora-Vargas. "Absence of evidence of harm is a too low standard for adequate protection of human and environmental health ..."

Here is an article written about the report: GMO study finds 'indications of harmful and adverse effects'
