No report on how much nutrient it gives, either. However, it would be a




stretch to say it is worse than what we are already being given. At




least it won't have the potential allergens that are produced from
GMOs.




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?

Blaming GMOs for everything that is bad for mankind and/or other animal
life seems to be a common trait amongst critics of GMO production
...purely guess-work and conjecture.


Sorry, I gave an inadequate response. I was in a rush, because I had to
make dinner, but I'm back now.

In 1995 Árpád Pusztai began research on genetically modified potatoes
containing the GNA lectin gene from the snowdrop plant.[2] His group fed
rats on raw and cooked genetically modified potatoes, using Desiree Red
potatoes as controls. In 1998 Árpád Pusztai said in an interview on a
World in Action programme that his group had observed damage to the
intestines and immune systems of rats fed the genetically modified
potatoes. He also said, "If I had the choice I would certainly not eat
it," and that, "I find it's very unfair to use our fellow citizens as
guinea pigs."[4]

Again, I am but a spectator. What do you know of this?
