Dear SanNetters,

It's what many of us suspected might be the case but this is probably the first
hard evidence......

The BBC and many of the UK national papers have carried a story today (10
August 98) about potential health risks from transgenic potatoes. A Scottish
research institute has been feeding them to rats and found that the rats growth
rates were affected.

I haven't read the details yet but if no one else does I will update you all
later.

Geoff
