There are many factors that contribute to health.

Not sure your basis about GMOs making us healthier. Kidney disease in the US has been on a steady increase. Kidney health is what the article references.

Yup, and having a safe and nutritious food supply plays an important role.

Not sure I claimed that GMO food makes us "healthier." I did say that Bt significantly reduces the amount of mycotoxins we consume today so, yes, that makes our food supply safer. Chemicalphobes have a hard time understanding why we genetically alter food and apply pest control products to plants.

. Kidney disease in the US has been on a steady increase.

I hear that obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure are also on the increase. Correlation? It's a possibility, don't you think?

Kidney health is what the article references.

Is the article claiming that Bt and Roundup are responsible for the rise in obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure we're experiencing as a nation?

You appear to like junk science. I spent far too much time and effort learning about legitimate science to believe any of the nonsense in this study. To each their own. It's human nature to fear things you don't understand.
