I would be interested to know how much more pollen was dusted on the leaves 
than would have occurred naturally and also how many caterpillars would have 
died naturally from predators or illness without the additional dusting. 
Scientists tend to conduct their 'proofs' with experiments that would never 
occur naturally. For instance, Saccharin was fed to rats at a rate that would 
have equaled human beings drinking 100 cans of soda a day from the day they 
were born until they died a natural death to prove it causes cancer. 
Cigarettes were smoked by dogs at a rate that would be the equivalent of 20 
packs a day for humans to prove they caused cancer. I can't say that I except 
any scientific fact finding study that does not subject the subject to 
natural or predictable conditions. Therefore, I find this study to be 
sensationalist and without any valid grounds barring further information 
including a transcript of the entire study and the basis for the pronounced 
'problems'.
