Not sure I trust the research. But, it's not like this isn't very simple research to repeat.

He selected new pairs from each group, which generated another 39 litters. There were 52 pups born to the control group and 78 to the non-GM soy group. In the GM soy group, however, only 40 pups were born. And of these, 25% died. This was a fivefold higher death rate than the 5% seen among the controls. Of the hamsters that ate high GM soy content, only a single female hamster gave birth. She had 16 pups; about 20% died.

That's a real problem with the validity of the results.

That said, I'm highly suspicious of GM foods.
