Big GMO trouble in Italy: Scientific article making safety claims is now retracted by the jourlnal

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This investigation of GM soy safety has serious deficiencies, and the whole episode is being chronicled in Italian newspapers. 
V. Mastellone, R. Tudisco, G. Monastra, M. E. Pero, S. Calabrò, P. Lombardi, M. Grossi, M. I. Cutrignelli, L. Avallone, F. Infascelli. (2013) Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase Activity in Kids Born from Goats Fed Genetically Modified Soybean. Food and Nutrition Sciences, 4:50-54

Here is the retraction notice of the Tudisco (2013) paper:

“The article has been retracted due to the investigation of complaints received against it
The data of figure 1(b) came from the previous published paper by Tudisco R, Mastellone V, Cutrignelli MI, Lombardi P, Bovera F, Mirabella N, Piccolo G, Calabro, Avallone , Infascelli F. Animal. Fate of transgenic DNA and evaluation of metabolic effects in goats fed genetically modified soybean and in their offsprings. 4(10):1662-71, 2010. “

The on-line PDF has been marked: http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/fns.2013.46A006


A series of other scientific papers now under a cloud because of similar questionable data manipulation practices, and authorship connections to the retracted plagiarised work:
