When Pusztai fed GM potatoes to rats, however, they developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, a damaged immune system, and inhibited growth of major organs.

GM potatoes were famously found to cause lesions in the gut wall of rats in a controlled trial by Dr Arpad Pusztai, working at the Rowett Research Institute in Scotland.

Dr Pusztai and Dr Ewen found few significant differences between the two groups of rats.

Indeed, Dr Noteborn has done such standardisation on tomatoes and then fed them to rats with none of the adverse effects that Dr Pusztai is reporting.

At that stage Dr Pusztai's research simply looked like a proof of principle checking that the techniques for transplanting and testing lectin genes worked, prior to exploring other, less harmful lectins as built-in insecticides for crops.
