Oooooh; masterfully done, hon: Just the right bait, just the right
depth and just the right speed. Um, um, um.
Here is a less ideologically slavish report of the same "study"
from an actual news source:

You know what people say about opinions. What have the above
insinuations to do with the article?

the article says,"Michael Antoniou, a molecular biologist at King's
College London, who helped draft the paper, told reporters at a London
briefing that its findings highlighted the "need to test all GM crops in
two-year lifelong studies".

Duh. That there have been no feeding studies done on GMO crops has been
a complaint since they were introduced. You are the Guinea pig.

Then there is the misstatement, "The study is also likely to create
friction in the United States, where opponents of genetically engineered
foods in California are fighting to have all GMOs removed from the food
supply."

Prop 37 in California would only require labeling of GMO food stuffs,
not banning them.

Makes you wonder what other errors there are in the article.

In my opinion, you would be less incoherent, if you didn't drink your
"single malt" before you post.

Consider this assessment, pulled from the Reuters item:
Tom Sanders, head of the nutritional sciences research division at King's
College London, noted that
Seralini's team had not provided any data on how much the rats were
given
to eat, or what their growth rates
were.

"This strain of rat is very prone to mammary tumors particularly when
food
intake is not restricted," he said.
"The statistical methods are unconventional ... and it would appear the
authors have gone on a statistical
fishing trip."

or

Mark Tester, a research professor at the Australian Centre for Plant
Functional Genomics at the University of
Adelaide, said the study's findings raised the question of why no
previous
studies have flagged up similar
concerns.

"If the effects are as big as purported, and if the work really is
relevant
to humans, why aren't the North
Americans dropping like flies? GM has been in the food chain for over a
decade over there - and longevity
continues to increase inexorably," he said in an emailed comment.
GMO foods are so ubiquitous that the only practical way to avoid
them is to go ahead and die now. Also, one must consider the certainty
that thought, logic, and reason play no part in religious conviction.


Daith based science
France's Jose Bove, vice-chairman of the European Parliament's
commission for agriculture and known as an opponent of GM, called for
an immediate suspension of all EU cultivation and import
authorizations of GM crops. "This study finally shows we are right and
that it is urgent to quickly review all GMO evaluation processes," he
said in a statement.

Finally shows we are right...

There are a lot of similar studies in more relavent models- yes
including the hhuman model- that show glyphosate is safe.

Let them eat cake.

That's what Monsanto $ays.
