Conflict of Interests and Evidence Base for GM Crops Safety Research |
 Published research have consistently proven the safety of GM crops, however, critics still doubt GMOs, citing other studies with possibly compromised results due to bias caused by conflicts of interest (COIs). Dr. Miguel Angel Sanchez, Executive Director of ChileBio, studied published peer-reviewed articles on GM safety to learn the extent of literature related to safety. He also analyzed the papers for COIs. Financial COIs are those where the research is funded by a company linked with GM crop development while professional COIs occur if an author is connected with a company developing GM crops.
