I've followed this story from its beginning. Some university publishes a study and a scare headline about genetically modified corn.

But other researchers aren't able to replicate the research and in time the university withdraws the report.

Its becoming a huge problem in science where researchers begin with a political position on something and then try and conduct research to prove something is bad. To no surprise they get the results they were seeking.
