Independent university researchers are always doing research on our products and evaluating published studies by publishing review articles.  From 2001 to 2010, more than 50 studies were conducted in Europe alone, funded by the European Commission (at a cost of >200 million euros) and performed by more than 400 research groups.  These studies are summarized in "A Decade of EU-Funded GMO Research." Additionally, hundreds of independent studies can be found on the Biofortified website.
