From Monsato web site ... There is no need to test the safety of DNA introduced into GM crops. DNA (and resulting RNA) is present in almost all foods--the only exceptions being highly refined materials like oil or sugar from which all cell material has been removed. Thus, DNA is non-toxic and the presence of DNA, in and of itself, presents no hazard

How utterly contemptuous and disingenuous. No one is worried about the fricking DNA molecule - the problem is waht that DNA molecule has created in the form of the object that is imitating food.

What Monsanto is saying is exactly equal to locking you into an electric chair, and then saying that arm movements are normal and completely harmless, in relation to the arm movement of the person throwing the switch.

And yeah, we ARE locked into an electric chair, and they ARE throwing the switch. Just try to get away from GM foods - you'll see how locked you are.

Agreed. Monsanto’s statement is utterly wreckless. While not used much anymore a gene gun (literally a 22 bullet) was used to shoot the concoction into a compound to form new random genes that would then be honed and studied and finally introduced into our food. These combinations could have never happened in nature, and in fact, were never done the same in the lab. That is why each batch of GMO corn has to be test, they are never the same, and testing theme is a joke, testing them for what exactly?

Gimme’ a break ...
