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.


The people you are attempting to communicate with are a religious cult
that is anti-GMO. Don't bother to try to educate them. They will
spew pseudo-science back at you to refute real science. Interesting
cult. Faith based science!


That may very well be so, but this time they seem to be on the side of
the angels, uh, so to speak. Whether they just got lucky, or were
divinely inspired they are refering to a very important matter.

And yes, it is taken from the notoriously liberal Huffington Post, and
was written by Jeffery Smith, a prominent anti-GMO advocate who wrote
the book "Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies
About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating"
by Jeffrey M. Smith

You really should look up Dr. Arpad Pusztai.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81rp%C3%A1d_Pusztai
Pusztai's experiment was eventually published as a letter in The Lancet
in 1999.[9] Because of the controversial nature of his research the
letter was reviewed by six reviewers - three times the usual number. One
publicly opposed the letter, another thought it was flawed, but wanted
it published "to avoid suspicions of a conspiracy against Pusztai and to
give colleagues a chance to see the data for themselves," while the
other four raised questions that were addressed by the authors.[10] The
letter reported significant differences between the thickness of the gut
epithelium of rats fed genetically modified potatoes, compared to those
fed the control diet.[9]

GMOs may turn out to be totally innocuous. Americans are basically the
test animals to determine GMOs safety as food products. There are 2
types of poisoning, one is acute, where you get struck down as if by a
bolt of lightening, and the other is chronic poisoning where a small
amount of poison is ingested over a long period of time and may result
in cancer, or some other withering away, idiocentric diseases, as in
allergies.

I don't care that you aren't worried, because I'm worried, and I don't
like the idea of being a test animal. Monsanto, et al. are trying to
shove GMOs down our throats. They should identify their products, and
let people choose. If after a period of time people come to accept GMOs,
fine, the general population will have been saved from unreasonable
testing, but that isn't what GMO producers are doing.

No GMO has been produced that has a larger yield that "natural"
cultivars There may be corn that grows better with ammonia, but that is
destroying the topsoil, and is of benefit only to ADM, and Cargill.

You will find a list of companies that use GMOs in their refined,
prepared foods he

f-companies-to-avoid/

Now you can support GMO products to your hearts content.

Bon appetit.
