Norwegian researchers studying the compositional difference in soybeans concluded high levels of glyphosate, an herbicide brought to the market by Monsanto under the name “Roundup,” has accumulated in genetically modified soybeans.
Funded by the Research Council of Norway, the study appeared in the June issue of Food Technology. The researchers tested GE-soy, conventional soy and organic soy to determine their nutrient and element compositional differences, as well as the presence of residues of herbicides and pesticides.
