The real story here is that these companies have stated over and over again that these naturally occuring, though genetically altered bacteria, such as Bt, would never make it into the human body. The way Bt works is as follows:

The Bt toxin dissolve in the high pH insect gut and become active. The toxins then attack the gut cells of the insect, punching holes in the lining. The Bt spores spills out of the gut and germinate in the insect causing death within a couple days.

Now, granted, we are not insects, but we were told, even promised that this study would never make it into our bodies, but these studies (two within the last week from two different sources) have proven that they are indeed in making it into our gut, surving right on into the blood stream.

So, the question now becomes, what are the effects, the answer is we don't know yet.
