Statements like this are prime examples of why a little knowledge is
a dangerous thing.

If you'd like I could also provide a number of critiques of the
original study that could give you a better platform to critique the
safety of genetically modified crops. Unfortunately, the popular
press likes to take a story and run with it, so you end up with scare
stories that have little basis in science.
