There was alwaysa scare about GM crops or frankencrops etc and how they could potentially be home to dangers we are unaware of.

Most pro GM crop people called the fears baseless.

Except now a hidden viral gene has been found insome GM crops and it may not be benign.

from the article:

his is because there are clear indications that this viral gene (called Gene VI) might not be safe for human consumption. It also may disturb the normal functioning of crops, including their natural pest resistance.

So not just fearmongering then.
