Anti-GMO researchers used science publication to manipulate the press

1. IMO the most damning part

besides refusing to let anyone criticize their data is this:

But these problems were only the beginning. As more critical reports began to appear and scientist/bloggers looked at the results, huge issues were made clear. The authors used a strain of rats that is prone to tumors late in life. Every single experimental condition was compared to a single control group of only 10 rats, and some of the experimental groups were actually healthier than the controls. The authors didn't use a standard statistical analysis to determine whether any of the experimental groups had significantly different health problems. And so on.

Roundup may well be harmful, it may turn out to be toxic as hell, but this study is more or less worthless for proving it. If you're fighting to prevent anyone criticizing you because you know the data doesn't show what you claim it shows, you're not only doing science wrong, you're not doing science at all.
