Basic information? Ok. If it has corn soy or canolla or papaya or beet sugar it is GM. WOW. That was so easy!

Now how about getting the dangerous side effects and actual dose amounts listed on herbal supplements that have actually harmed people demonstratively? Or is it more important chasing down phantom fears?

Your arguments and excessive defense of GMO etc is nauseating. Enjoy, and while you are at it, pig out on GMO soy burgers, and your sons too...they will grow breasts. Kill yourself with pasteurized milk and dairy products. And the sooner you do that, you get one more obstacle to good health for the rest of us out of the way.

Kill yourself with pasteurized milk and dairy products.

Thanks for demonstrating in full the depth of your ignorance. Do you think that communicable diseases such as small pox, etc, have had such a great reduction over the past 100 years or so due to "better sanitation"?

[aruanan]

Opposition to bio-engineered crops brought to you by the same folks who opposed irradiation, vaccination, nuclear power, and cooking, the poor dopes who believe in “vital force” and other detritus of the pre-scientific age.

No GMO for me as much as I can keep it away, and I know a fairly large group of educated professionals who are also staying away from it...

If it is so safe, why not label it? Yeah, that's what I thought.

[MarMema]

Huh. When my daughter had to have a bone transplant as part of a surgery they tried to make me feel stupid because I rejected their bone graft material from dead people and told them to take it from her own hip.

Eyes rolled, etc. It's perfectly safe, all the testing that is done, la la la.

A few years later they found out about this guy who had been sending bone graft material all over the US.

La la la. My daughter never got any of his filthy diseased bone material, which oh, btw was never tested as the surgeon had been told it was.

Here's a tip for you - arrogance is deadly when you are trusting science. But eat up. Yum. GMO. It's all yours.

[MarMema]

because RNA from it survives digestion and stays with you, and no one really knows what that could mean in the future

there are good safe things everywhere, just read about them

[9YearLurker]

Europe generally does food much more sanely than we do.

[MarMema]

Yet another reason Monsanto and GMO suck.

[SunkenCiv]

Wait a second — maybe cell phones *don’t* cause brain cancer, either...

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Pasteur admitted on his deathbed that he was wrong...and pastuerized milk has NOTHING to do with sanitation...it has to do with protecting the big dairy farms and big dairy’s that have piss poor sanitation and can’t compete with good dairy practices...The FDA, Dept of Agriculture etc etc etc are not about protecting ‘we the people’...they are all about protecting big business (Pharma, Ag) that can’t cut it w/o their help...

Pastuerization kills the enzymes in the milk...and that along with homogenation makes it unfit for consumption...animal or human.

Pastuerized mild from a cow given to her own calf...the calf dies...

So drink it and enjoy...til death do us part...
