Highlights
  • Glyphosate tolerant GM soybeans contain high residues of glyphosate and AMPA.
  • Soybeans from different agricultural practices differ in nutritional quality.
  • Organic soybeans showed a more healthy nutritional profile than other soybeans.
  • Organic soy contained more sugars, protein and zinc, but less fibre and omega-6.
  • This study rejects that GM soy is “substantially equivalent” to non-GM soybeans.
