The bottom line is very simple here folks; commodities have little value.
In order to create something that can be sold for a much larger profit, it's
necessary to be patentable.   Rice is a commodity.   GM rice is a patentable
product.   The studies are designed to prove the value of this product, and would
never be published if they couldn't somehow massage the data (including
discarding the many data points which do not support their contention) to show that
their frankenstein products are god's gift.   Of course they're not god's
gift at all; god's gift would be the already-perfect, natural products,
consumable just as they are.   Nature is perfect, and we will never improve on it.
And it's naive to believe that this is actually anyone's intention.   The
intention, as suggested above, is simply to make more money.

There are many excellent books on the dangers of GM products, including
Jeffrey Smith's excellent book, Seeds of Deception.   There are also some excellent
books that further explain the deceptive nature of "scientific studies."
Most of them are paid for by commercial industry, either directly, or indirectly
by funding the schools that do the research, effectively insuring that the
school publishes research beneficial to their supporters.   It's very hard for
most schools to turn down that $20 million grant, and the result is that much
of the "science" that is published is nonsense.

I'm tied up teaching for the next two days, so probably won't be able to
respond.
