Another case of fraudulent studies was revealed by Japan's Masaharu Kawata, Assistant Professor, School of Science, Nagoya University. Reseachers there "found clearly intentional misinterpretation" of data on the differences between conventional soybeans and Monsanto's genetically engineered version. "Monsanto patch-worked the results of experiments with analyses that are full of holes, and manipulated the results. They even requested the revision and lowering of safety standards. The Nagoya University team discovered facts showing inadequate and incomplete safety assessment in the application document by Monsanto".[http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0311/S00113.htm][http://www.biosafety-info.net/article.php?aid=38]. The results provided by Monsanto were skewed to hide negative data. The report concluded, "for such basic facts to come to light eight years after the approval is a clear indication of how incomplete is the state of knowledge about the genetic recombination of crops. It also demonstrates how dangerous it is for governments to rely on a commercial company’s information for data and safety assessments".
Accusations of suppression and/or distortion of unfavorable studies also run to corn [http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/judges-order-disclosure-of-secret-study-on-gm-risks-493907.html Judges order disclosure of secret study on GM risks] [http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=29217 GM Sceptics Smell a Rat] [http://www.seedsofdeception.com/Public/Newsletter/June05GMCornHealthDangerExposed/index.cfm#GM_Corn_Study Genetically Modified Corn Study Reveals Health Damage and Cover-up] and potatoes [http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_4167.cfm Secret Monsanto Genetically Engineered Potato Study Suppressed for 8 Years] [http://icwales.icnetwork.co.uk/countryside-farming-news/farming-news/tm_method=full&objectid=18679893&siteid=50082-name_page.html Monsanto hid GM potato study, campaigners claim].
