These tumor suppressor RNAs are missing in cancer patients. If they can be replaced — an experimental treatment known as microRNA replacement therapy — then doctors could theoretically stop the proliferation of cancer cells. But in agriculture where RNA is being engineered as a pesticide designed to kill insects that feed on crops — such as Monsanto’s RNA efforts aimed at the Western corn rootworm, the most economically destructive pest in corn production — it is paramount that the RNA in and/or on the corn that is later eaten by humans doesn’t subsequently infiltrate our cells causing who knows what kind of unintended consequences.

This could be a problem.

it is already illegal in Europe.

why can’t the GMO be labeled in the USA? just labeled. We label aspartame, sacarine, sugar, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, etc...

We label MSG (to the point where they have started using new names for MSG)...
