Who on Earth came up with that BS statement "potential allergens
that are


produced from GMOs"?...sounds like quite a stretch IME.




I'm just a spectator. What do you know?

Why would GMOs have any more propensity for causing allergic
reactions than non-GMOs?


Did you see the part of the ref that you were given that describes how the
scatter-gun effect of genetic manipulation may turn on genes not normally
expressed? So you can end up with an allergen (among other things) being
produced in the GM version not produced by the wild ancestor.


Blaming GMOs for everything that is bad for mankind and/or other
animal


If anybody here had done that they ought to spanked and sent to bed with no
dinner. Who was it? Personally I can think of quite a few bad things for
mankind not related to GMOs.

life seems to be a common trait amongst critics of GMO production
...purely guess-work and conjecture.


Who here guessed? Who conjectured? Could be that stupid Homo paleas. He's
the bloke who has trouble staying on his feet, gets knocked down all the
time.
