Hey, Rupert- thanks for the link; I read it. However, I did some additional googling on the study, and it's hugely, hugely flawed, so I don't think one can draw any conclusions from it as it was run by a scientist with an agenda, and the rats used were predisposed to develop tumors anyway. Here's a good piece on the major errors in the study, and how the media was manipulated into releasing it:

Again, I haven't been convinced one way or another about GMOs, but I fully support labeling and letting consumers choose.
