Bad diets worry the guts even with rats

Over at The Full Monty I've put some the highly disputed data of Pusztai from which claims that GM foods may do harm have arisen. The bottom line is simple:

To quote the Lancet:
Ewen and Pusztai say that the significant differences between diet groups invariables such as mucosal thickness or crypt length are evidence of the biological effects of the GM foods.

Such a claim is easy to make but difficult to prove, because no consistent patterns of changes were observed in the study.

For those who want The Full Monty go there for Rats fed bad diets have lots of changes in their gut.


GMO Pundit has stared at the data for two days. They don't demonstrate anything.
