摘要: A number of widely debated research articles claiming possible technology-related health concerns have influenced the public opinion on genetically modified food safety. We performed a statistical reanalysis and review experimental data presented in some these studies found that quite often contradiction with authors' conclusions actually provides weak evidence harm cannot be differentiated from chance. In our problem statistically unaccounted multiple comparisons has led to most cited anti-genetically organism claims history. hope this analysis puts original results into proper context.
