Nice try Torsten. You proved my point that there is no toxicology data
for any natural food products.

Keep me out of that, I have done no such thing. If you want to make a
silly claim, like that there is no toxicology data for any natural
food products, go ahead. Cheesh, what a silly claim. And you are doing
it on sci.med.nutrition, of all places.


Well, perhaps one of the other readers can provide this information since
you seem to be unable to do so.


Believe me, noone here is able to help provide information to prove
that "there is no toxicology data for any natural food products".
What you are proposing is simply, false. And silly, to wit.


Exhibit:
Carum carvi L., seeds: negative on Drosophila mutagenicity assay (48h)
(Lachavechvanich 1997)


Sorry I am a bit short of time currently, but look up any nutrition text.

Or a more specialist book, `Antinutrients and Natural Toxicants in Foods'
Edited by Robert L.Ory, Southern Regional Research Center USDA -ARS Oil
and Food Laboratory New Orleans, Louisiana.

Food & Nutirtion Press, Inc. 1981

And while I remember, in addition to what I gave about RR produced corn
for feed:

Comparison of broiler performance when fed diets containing
grain from roundup ready (NK603), YieldGard x roundup ready
(MON810 x NK603), non-transgenic control, or commercial corn
Taylor ML, Hartnell GF, Riordan SG, Nemeth MA, Karunanandaa K,
George B, Astwood JD
POULTRY SCIENCE

82 (3): 443-453 MAR 2003

and the combined traits, insect-protected corn
event MON 810 (YieldGard corn) x glyphosate-tolerant corn event
NK603 (experiment 2) to their respective non-transgenic controls
and to commercial reference corn, when fed to growing broilers.
[...]
Differences (P 0.05) were noted only for
protein content of breast meat.
[...]


So what experiments should be done on humans eating the stuff, their
brains &c?
