Bt毒蛋白（苏云金芽孢杆菌，拉丁学名Bacillus thuringiensis，因此简称Bt)）经数十年使用，是常用的天然杀虫剂之一．在长期的使用（主要是喷撒）过程中没有表现出对人体的危害．
参见：history of BT http://www.bt.ucsd.edu/bt_history.html
国外的一些研究也表明含有ＢＴ蛋白转移基因的大米、玉米经过试验没有表现毒副作用。
研究试验表明转基因稻谷对白鼠、家禽、家畜喂养后没有统计意义上明显的不良反应。
下面是一篇被较多引用的文献，结论还是比较谨慎的。在首先明确“我们还需要更更好的实验才能确定转基因食品（GM foods）对进入消费市场来讲是安全的。”之后，才非常谨慎的说根据我们目前的少量数据以及没能充分考虑潜在的健康影响的情况下．．．转基因食品组与非转基因组的并没有生物学上意义上的明显区别。

In conclusion
We need more and better testing methods before making GM foods available for human consumption.
One has to agree with the piece in Science1 that there are many opinions but scarce data on the potential health risks of GM food crops, even though these should have been tested for and eliminated before their introduction. Our present data base is woefully inadequate. Moreover, the scientific quality of what has been published is, in most instances not up to expected standards. If, as claimed, our future is dependent on the success of the promise of genetic modification delivering wholesome, plentiful, more nutritious and safe GM foods, the inescapable conclusion of this review is that the present crude method of genetic modification has so far not delivered these benefits and the promise of a superior second generation is still in the future. Although it is argued by some that small differences between GM and non-GM crops have little biological meaning, it is clear that most GM and parental line crops fall short of the definition of “substantial equivalence.” In any case, this crude, poorly defined and unscientific concept outlived its possible previous usefulness and we need novel methods and concepts to probe into the compositional, nutritional/toxicological and metabolic differences between GM and conventional crops and into the safety of the genetic techniques used in developing GM crops if we want to put this technology on a proper scientific foundation and allay the fears of the general public. We need more science, not less.
