Why dont you answer my question first Torsten. Tell me ONE natural food
product that has undergone as much toxicological studies as GE products.

if you are not WILLING to look it up yourself, you're simply lazy
(google, medline or current content would have given you, what you did
not look for there are essentielly hundreds of journals for "food
science" and toxicology and usda should have the resources. duke's
tox database usually comes up with at loeast 20-30 references of tox
data - and that's just for ethnofood and not for staple food..
i randomly scanned a medline cd (i got 1992) and a combination of food
AND toxicology came up with 850+ hits. now please your turn with GE
and toxicology.

now for the foods: alcohol, fat, citrus fruits, pepper, papaver,
potatoes, meat, raw-milk cheese, milk, fugo, shellfish, cassava, soy,
algae, ginger, eggs, most allergenic foods, honey, rapeseed oil,
almonds, eatable fungi, fish oil, cannabis, amaranth, joghurts,
myco-proteins, apple juice, strawberries, raspberries, most fruits of
cucurbits, solanaceae and liliaceae, most foods with glucosinolates,
the whole bunch of foods in codex alimentarius with recommanded
restricted intakes, a huge number of edible herbs, ape brain. there
are more tox studies on shark cartilage and even more studies on
toxicity of whale penis (yep, also at least 2 in the usa) than studies
on ge-food safety worldwide...(it's just a little difficult to get the
nippon hoigaku-zasshi or the nippon-kyobu-shikkan-gakkai)


in case you're insisting, that some of these are no food products : GE
food is also no "product" as such...it's a variety of different foods
with a special trait just like fluor-enriched toothpaste. simple
toothpaste is something different.


next time please try a LITTLE harder....
