Real men wear red: Sportsmen who choose to wear the colour are more likely to be winners because they are 'dressing to kill'

Men who choose to wear red have higher levels of testosterone.

This makes them more dominant and aggressive meaning they are more likely to win when playing competitive sport.

Sportsmen also view opponents who are wearing red as tougher competition.

Here is a link to the study I think the writer of this article is referring to. If reading a scientific research paper is too much for you, at least read the conclusion.

our results suggest that further studies are required to clarify the mechanism involved in the hematotoxicity found in mice, and to establish the toxicological risks to non-target organisms, especially mammals, before concluding that these microbiological control agents are safe for mammals.

Translation: We've spent millions on this research and have found no concrete evidence to support our preconceived notions. Please send money.

Yep, articles from that site should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
A hysteria about one study in brazil, not convincing.
I need multiple peer reviewed studies before I give it any credit.

After reading the article I would say yes they are the same.But in this case, the farmer kept and seeded the GMO that crossed and refused to pay a licensing fee.Had he not replanted the 3 acre test field, things might have turned out different.
This is a Canadian case and it can't be compared to what happened to the American farmers.

Yes but has there been another actual case of Monsanto suing for cross pollination, because as far as I remember OSGATA made all the fuss... yet never produced any evidence, as in absolutely none.
