Fully understand the in vitro effects, but Bt has been used by organic gardens for several decades without ill effects in humans. It is devastating in catepillars.

Bt has been used for years as a naturally-derived pesticide; the big difference here is that Monsanto’s gene-splicing wizards made corn and other food-bearing plants grow the Bt internally. When it’s used in organic agriculture you can just wash the Bt off with water; you can’t do that when it’s inside ever cell of the corn you’re eating.
