Another study verified that Genetically Modified soybeans contain a unique, unexpected protein, not found in non-Genetically Modified soy controls.

Moreover, scientists tested the protein and determined that it reacted with the antibody called IgE.

This antibody in human blood plays a key role in a large proportion of allergic reactions, including those that involve life-threatening anaphylactic shock.

The fact that the unique protein created by Genetically Modified soy interacted with IgE suggests that it might also trigger allergies.
