GM soy is not substantially equivalent to non-GM soy

Compositional differences in soybeans on the market: glyphosate accumulates in Roundup Ready GM soybeans

•Glyphosate tolerant GM soybeans contain high residues of glyphosate and AMPA.
•Soybeans from different agricultural practices differ in nutritional quality.
•Organic soybeans showed a more healthy nutritional profile than other soybeans.
•Organic soy contained more sugars, protein and zinc, but less fibre and omega-6.
•This study rejects that GM soy is “substantially equivalent” to non-GM soybeans.
