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.

Gene transfer and cauliflower mosaic virus promoter 35S activity in
mammalian cells.

Abstract

The cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (CaMV35s) is extensively used
in genetically modified crops for human and animal consumption.
Horizontal gene transfer is attracting particular attention, in light of
experimental reports, showing the presence of dietary DNA into animal
tissues. Health implications may derive from possible activities of the
heterologous promoter in mammalian cells after integration in the host
genome. To evaluate this hypothesis, in vivo and in vitro experiments
were performed using GFP as reporter gene. Recombinant plasmid DNA was
fed to Balb/c mice and searched in several tissues by PCR amplification.
The activity of the plant virus promoter was assessed by RT-PCR and
fluorescence microscopy after liposome-mediated transfection of murine
gonadic cells. Obtained data did not highlight evidences of dietary DNA
transfer in mice. No CaMV35s transcriptional activity was detected in
this experimental model. These findings emphasize the need for further
studies and standardized methods.

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.
Funny ;O))

He's
the bloke who has trouble staying on his feet, gets knocked down all the
time.
