In response to Professor King's invitation for links to papers, I would like to submit an entire issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition from June 2002 that was published as a supplement and contains eleven papers on an array of topics relevant to GM crops. www.jacn.org/content/vol21/suppl_3/. Full text will be freely available at least through March 2003 when access control is expected to be implemented. At that time, abstracts will be available to all but full text to subscribers and pay-per-view customers.
