Since then, more rigorous measures and procedures concerning GM food have been implemented in order to prevent such unwanted outcomes. At the same time, suspicion amongst the population towards GM foods has increased, although there is overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. "Around 150 scientific papers have been published concerning GM foods, which claim that GM foods are not more dangerous to human health that standard grown food"1.

This paper, in particular, explores the impact of the genetic manipulation on the allergenicity of the GM potato. "The modifications made to the potatoes are such, as to express lectin, which is toxic to insects and nematodes"3. Such genetic modifications are made for the purpose of protecting the potato crops from pests and reduce the use of pesticides. This modification is widely spread, including in South Korea, where this research was made.

The abstract is clear and concise. It describes the objectives and the results of the research in a simple and short form, as it is required for and abstract. The authors were careful to present only the most important information of the research, concerning the background, methods, results and conclusions of the research, which we can clearly see it well and thoroughly explained throughout the rest of the paper.

They explain that potatoes are amongst the commonly exposed GM foods in South Korea, but nevertheless, there is no research done concerning the allergic risk form GM potatoes. Certain cases of allergic reactions caused by potatoes that were documented are also stated. Therefore, the authors provided sufficient information in order to explain the purpose of the research, as well as the possible outcomes.

The methods used in this research are standard and well known. The ELISA and SDS-PAGE techniques are widely used, and they were described in great, step-by-step detail, so the procedures can be repeated again by a different team of researcher if its necessary. Adequate references were cited in the text for a particular step in the procedures. Since these methods represent standard procedures in this kind of experimentation, there are little or no variations from the standard inhibition and specific IgE ELISA and SDS-PAGE techniques. Also, the researchers have not stated the existence of any difficulties in conducting the tests. Careful choosing of experimental subjects is also implemented, as well as the statistical methods used, which were in accordance with the recommendations Standardization Committee of the Northern society of Allergology. The study has also been reviewed by Ajou University Medical center, in Suwon, Korea.

Sufficient statistical analyses were performed on the results of the research. Not only the results are presented in an overall statistical analyses, that relates the results to the objectives of the research, but also a statistical analysis is made on the results that derive from the different techniques used in the study. The graphs are well presented, and sufficiently complement the overall presentation of the results.
