What's to concede? Either the water is polluted or it isn't. (It is.) Either the food is tampered with or it isn't. (It is.) Either the food has pesticides on it or it doesn't. (It does.)
Similarly, this study (which was funded by Greenpeace, by the way) was not based upon any sort of falsifiable, impartial clinical analysis. Instead, the self proclaimed French corn experts merely claimed that glyphosate was found in some rats. How the glyphosate got in the rats (and why a rat's diet is thought to be comparable to a human's in any event) is left to the imagination. But, you've got a fanciful imagination.
You know, I wasn’t even taking your comments into consideration when I responded to Irisshlass. You took it into your head that I was referring to YOU as a dumbass. At the time, I wasn’t.
Um, well, err, I mean that just naturally I assumed you meant me.
The Center for Food Safety, a nonprofit organization that seeks sustainable alternatives to harmful methods of food production technologies, estimates that more than 70 percent of the processed foods in U.S. grocery stores contain some genetically modified ingredients -- mostly corn or soy.
I know folks who claim the MSG gives them headaches and other issues. Could it be the combination of the sodium and the glutamate together in that compound and how the body breaks down that particular compound as opposed to simply consuming sodium and glutamates at the same time?
It's been a long time since I took chemistry and biology classes.
Yeah, me too. That's why I always ask about whether or not the same effect happens when they eat a tomato, or chicken, or shrimp and so on. That's usually where the conversation ends.

MSG, and the so-called Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, has been studied to death. There is no evidence that what you suggest exists. That won't stop the chemicalphobes from claiming otherwise though. Maybe they're reacting to the sodium. I can't imagine it but who knows. Just think how difficult a sensitivity to sodium is going to make their lives. Without glutamate, you can't live. The average human has several pounds of it in their body at any given time. People who have issues with that are interesting to say the least.
ALL corn we eat is “genetically modified” and has to be. I’m not very fond of that pretty “Indian corn” put on doors at Thanksgiving time. For centuries it was modified by plain hybridization...and now for decades by more precise methods.
So what? It goes into our stomachs and is dissolved, digested or crapped out.... NO IT WON’T HURT YOU!
Excerpt:
Monsanto already dominates Americas food chain with its genetically modified seeds. Now it has targeted milk production. Just as frightening as the corporations tacticsruthless legal battles against small farmersis its decades-long history of toxic contamination. * * *Just what we need: Artificial growth hormone (rBGH) in all our milk products and all our beef and chicken and turkey or whatever . . .
The next step is to clone the whole lot of us.
I just heard the French doctor on the radio and instantly put his book on my Amazon list.
Don’t miss Suzanne Somers’s book on cancer too — it’s not about HER; each chapter is written with interviews of other great doctors curing cancer the healthy way. It’s a must-own.
Frigging lizard swines!
I still don’t know what to think of all that.
Particularly in the era of Photoshop.
Certainly plenty of the globalist traitors ACT AND SOUND LIKE
they are from satanic forces beyond earth’s surface.
And, some of those videos are . . . at least a bit . . . disconcerting.
Where the truth lies is a whole ‘nother issue.
Corn is now it’s own pesticide, bugs eat it, they die. The gene’s have been manipulated such that it is Monsanto Round-Up Ready, they spray the entire field with Round-up, everything dies but the corn. GMO corn is made in a way that no two batches are ever the same. Also, despite what is claimed no testing is really undertaking. Finally, they are using things such as agrobacterium, putida, and other interesting soil bacterium which can infect humans, and AgroBacterium is one of the few things on earth that can make the Cross - Kingdom jump.
GMO Corn is not good.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Agreed, and there are many Monsanto Trolls on here trying to convince everyone, ignore them, they’re fools, and they arguments for GMO being the same as old cross breeding is hysterically ignorant (and been proven so).
He knows exactly what he’s talking about. All corn is genetically modified from an ancient grass, called teosinte, and all corn is tolerant of types of herbicides (just as is the grass in your front yard).
