That link has some information that could maybe do a bit of convincing.
Thought of one more thing before bed. The reason why you don't see the news about health effects of GMO's on humans is because there are no studies. It can potentially be increasing our risks to all kinds of diseases but there is nobody keeping track of GMO foods because the substantially equivalent bull. Can't exactly put a human in a room and feed him GMO food for 10 years can we? |
That’s an interesting link. I obviously lack the requisite knowledge and experience to challenge anything written there. However I did see one potential issue. If the examples used were an accurate representation of the potential harm of GM crops, why hasn’t there been an equivalent amount of harm recognised at the consumer level?
Surely if there is a parallel between this
| quote: |
In addition to immune responses, several studies and reports from the field provide evidence that GM foods are toxic. In the next article in this series, we look at thousands of sick, sterile and dead animals, linked to consumption of GM crops |
and the threat posed through human consumption, we would have a fair amount of evidence which he should also cite? Why are these foods posing such a risk, yet millions of people use such products daily with no noticeable impact?
Additionally,
| quote: | | A 2005 report by medical investigators in India describes an ominous finding. Hundreds of agricultural workers are developing moderate or severe allergic reactions when exposed to Bt cotton. This includes those picking cotton, loading it, cleaning it, or even leaning against it. Some at a ginning factory must take antihistamines daily, in order to go to work. Reactions are only triggered with the Bt varieties.[24] Furthermore, the symptoms are virtually identical to those described by the 500 people in Vancouver and Washington who were sprayed with Bt. |
If this is a cause for concern, why aren’t I breaking out in hives when I put on a tshirt? If Bt is such an issue for those merely leaning up against GM cotton, why haven’t we noticed correspondingly serious results when people consume foods containing Bt?
I just think that were the dangers so great and so obvious, more data should be available providing at the very least, a correlation between Bt in food and serious human health issues.
I do have to commend you on a much more robust link than anything you have previous sourced however. There’s hope for you yet ;)
Oh, and “henny penny” is a character from a story that was always complaining that the sky was falling. |

How can a story complain that the sky is falling? |

Some tried to grow some after he saw it on the show and actually succeeded. I don't know which is funnier: that he bothered to try, or that he actually did it. |

| Well it is theoretically possible. Sort of. I'm sure he's not the first nor the last. |
