| The rattlebox moth (Utethesia ornatrix) became famous when researchers figured out how the species uses and depends on plant toxins. Charnley also overlooks the fact that many plant toxins would greatly degrade the taste and palatability of fruits and vegetables at doses sufficient to produce acute toxicity in humans (Drewnowski and Gomez-Carneros 2000). While a genetically modified plant and a regular plant may have the same profile for plant toxins, it's possible genetically modified plants "could also contain unexpected high concentrations of plant toxicants," Matthews wrote. |
