No, it doesn't. From the cited article:
http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v2....html(abstract)
http://www.agbios.com/docroot/articl...2-005.pdf(full article)
"Assessing the survival of transgenic plant DNA in the human
gastrointestinal tract"
" ... As this low level of epsps in the intestinal microflora did not
increase after consumption of the meal containing GM soya, we conclude that
gene transfer did not occur during the feeding experiment."

Don't confuse Dave by quoting actual science.



Perhaps it is YOU who are confused.

You claim Homeopathy has no science behind it and that you have to
"question" those who refer people to Homeopaths.


I don't need to question who refers people to homeopaths. Often it's
upper class, in-bred idiots with big ears who have never done a days
work in their lives yet seem to own places such as Cornwall.


Suppose the referrer is an MD or other fully qualified health
professional? Do you wish to impugn all of them. Do you accuse the
MD's who practice Homeopathy of being "quacks"?


Absolutely I do, and if that were the case then unless there was a very
good reason he should be struck off. The only justifiable case would be
for the hypochondriacs who keep going in for stuff like colds who will
benefit from paying money for useless treatments for self-limiting
illnesses.

$1,000,000 says you're talking bullshit.

All you have to do is to get two samples, one distilled water one
homeopathic and be able to tell them apart. Put up or shut up.
