Haven people had allergic reactions from eating transgenic corn and soybeans?
Some people are allergic to proteins that occur naturally in soybeans, and they could have a reaction if they are exposed to either conventional or transgenic soybeans or soy products. Soybeans are one of the eight most common sources of food allergies. Although less common, some people have food allergies associated with corn and they could be affected by either conventional or transgenic corn. No allergic reactions attributable to the proteins present as a result of genetic engineering have been reported in the transgenic soybeans being grown commercially at this time. Reports of an allergenic protein made as a result of genetic engineering in one particular type of transgenic corn could not be confirmed by subsequent testing.
