A recent paper published in the journal
Food and Chemical Toxicology presents the results of
a long-term toxicity study related to a widely-used
commercial herbicide (RoundupTM) and a Rounduptolerant
genetically modified variety of maize, concluding
that both the herbicide and the maize varieties
are toxic. Here we discuss the many errors and
inaccuracies in the published article resulting in highly
misleading conclusions, whose publication in the
scientific literature and in the wider media has caused
damage to the credibility of science and researchers in
the field. We and many others have criticized the
study, and in particular the manner in which the
experiments were planned, implemented, analyzed,
interpreted and communicated. The study appeared to
sweep aside all known benchmarks of scientific good
practice and, more importantly, to ignore the minimal
standards of scientific and ethical conduct in particular
concerning the humane treatment of experimental
animals.
