Every time the subject comes up, opponents make the same
assertion about lack of testing.

Every time I ask "Where is the safety testing?"

and every time they say "Of course it's been done"

and every time I say "Show me"

and then it goes quiet...

That is quite untrue - as I am sure you know (but won't admit, for some
reason). I have posted lists of published references numerous times. The
list below was compiled more than two years ago - since then, countless more
studies have been published. If you were to read some of the articles and
provide a competent critique of the science, you might be able to argue
reasonably that you are not satisfied with those studies, but noone can
assert rationally that there has been no testing for safety. Indeed, a great
effort has been made to analyze the physiological and toxicological effects
of GMO foods. Clearly, they have undergone far more scientific analysis and
regulatory scrutiny than any new food product that has come before.
