community by compliant or ineffectual editors of medical journals, but the
US government now insists that scientists must be politically approved
before the scientists can participate in meetings of the World Health

This leaves only Bayer CropScience’s GM herbicide tolerant oilseed rape MS8xRF3 still in the running for potential commercialisation in the UK.
