Her retracted research has in turn been cited by more than 120 other papers, causing a massive snowball effect of potentially invalidated research The two now retracted studies formed the basis of her research program into how rice plants detect certain pathogenic bacteria With the loss of her credibility, and the domino effect these retractions are likely to cause within the scientific field, the entire industry of biotechnology stands to suffer a great blow to its scientific integrity Genetically engineered foods have never been proven safe for consumption, and there are definitive correlations between the results from GMO animal-feeding studies and the patterns of human disease we’re now seeing.
