I responded in more detail here (ended up longer than I expected): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12018169 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12018169 Briefly two points: ...soy from the resulting plant caused allergic reactions in subjects allergic to brazil nuts. Not a novel unknown allergic reaction, but still important and something that should always be evaluated during the regulatory process. GMO should definitely be regulated and reported with greater scrutiny and transparency than regular food precisely because of this potential. This was caused specifically because of the protein chosen to be introduced into the soybean to increase nutritional value. From the other (longer) response tl;dr: This is a legitimate concern that should be included in a regulatory framework that supports safety and transparency.
