Whoa! Look at this, the "ladybird study" was staged too using the same kind of bad science! This is news to me...they need to censure this kind of crap.

(from the story)
The Scottish Crop Research Institute has published research that found adverse effects in ladybirds when they were fed on aphids which had fed on GM potatoes.

It found the female insects' lifespans were halved and their reproduction reduced.

The experiments used potatoes similar to some of those used by Dr Pusztai, modified to include snowdrop lectin.

New study suggests ladybirds are at risk
