A very interesting perspective that we don't get to hear very often.

Um-- okay, so here's the thing that I wondered about even at the time.

If the woman in the lawsuit was THAT convinced that the GMO corn caused anaphylaxis...  then that is an EASY, EASY extraordinary claim to prove rather conclusively.

1.  SPT with the Starlink variety of corn

2.  DBpcfc with an independent allergist..

There.  Boom.  If it's real, you just collected millions more in compensation.   You're welcome.  

And the rest of the article linked is an AWESOME read-- it's why most scientists are in NO way concerned about GMO foods.  And hey-- 7 billion of us needing to eat... well, there isn't much way around using GMO to do that.

I wondered that, how did she prove it wasn't the actual corn but the GMO side of it? Lets face it many of us have seen mystery reactions with no clear pin point to culprit. Also the cross contamination with food production is pretty vast for meal like that, so the idea of it being GMO would never naturally occur imo.
