O perigo dos transgênicos: evidências e críticas a elas - lista de autores, seus trabalhos e revisões críticas.

Não costumo copiar e colar informações de outros blogs. Mas a lista abaixo é muito informativa: quem são alguns dos mais importantes opositores aos transgênicos, suas master pieces e as réplicas a elas (ou critical reviews).

A lista não é completa: faltam nomes como o Jack Heinemann, o Michael Antoniou, a Mae Wan Ho, a Angela Hilbeck e ao menos mais uma dezena de outros pesquisadores. Eles publicam aqui e acolá trabalhos que “mostram” problemas sérios com a segurança ambiental ou alimentar dos transgênicos ou ainda fazem revisões teóricas sobre avaliação de risco, onde concluem sobre a incapacidade dos atuais avaliadores em todo o Mundo.

Mesmo sem ser completa, a lista ajuda a quem tem curiosidade de saber (e ler) o que estes pesquisadores publicaram e porque tantos cientistas baixaram o sarrafo nos trabalhos. Uma análise crítica vai mostrar que em todos os casos há falhas graves na metodologia ou especulação criativa, ou ambas as coisas.

Editorials
·         Conclusions 1 and 4 read:
·         “1. The conclusions are solely based upon in vitro tests on non-validated, non-representative cellular models (in particular tumour or transformed cells) that are directly exposed to extremely high concentrations of substances under growing conditions that do not respect normal physiological conditions. [...]”
·         “4. The authors over-interpret their results in relation to potential consequences on human health, in particular on the basis of an unsubstantiated in vitro-in vivo extrapolation. [...] the concentrations used in these tests would imply a huge exposure to glyphosate to obtain such cytotoxic effects on humans.”
