Paying to find non-GE wild corn?
Thanks for your comments Klaus, I am fully aware of the Medline data on
plant components and routinely read the food tech journals. However you missed the point of my comments- there is no toxicological data on actual natural foods per se. The data is on components and recommendations and guidelines are developed by extrapolating results of the individual component studies. Dave "Klaus Wiegand" wrote in message ...

Tell me ONE natural food product that has undergone as much toxicological studies as GE products. if you are not WILLING to look it up yourself, you're simply lazy (google, medline or current content would have given you, what you did not look for there are essentielly hundreds of journals for "food science" and toxicology and usda should have the resources. duke's tox database usually comes up with at loeast 20-30 references of tox data - and that's just for ethnofood and not for staple food.. i randomly scanned a medline cd (i got 1992) and a combination of food AND toxicology came up with 850+ hits. now please your turn with GE and toxicology. now for the foods: alcohol, fat, citrus fruits, pepper, papaver, potatoes, meat, raw-milk cheese, milk, fugo, shellfish, cassava, soy, algae, ginger, eggs, most allergenic foods, honey, rapeseed oil, almonds, eatable fungi, fish oil, cannabis, amaranth, joghurts, myco-proteins, apple juice, strawberries, raspberries, most fruits of cucurbits, solanaceae and liliaceae, most foods with glucosinolates, the whole bunch of foods in codex alimentarius with recommanded restricted intakes, a huge number of edible herbs, ape brain. there are more tox studies on shark cartilage and even more studies on toxicity of whale penis (yep, also at least 2 in the usa) than studies on ge-food safety worldwide...(it's just a little difficult to get the nippon hoigaku-zasshi or the nippon-kyobu-shikkan-gakkai) in case you're insisting, that some of these are no food products : GE food is also no "product" as such...it's a variety of different foods with a special trait just like fluor-enriched toothpaste. simple toothpaste is something different. next time please try a LITTLE harder.... klaus |
