Well, there is a difference between selective breeding and genetic modification such as injecting DNA and genes from one organism into another and other such weird stuff.

Some of this “weirdness” happens through natural enough agents such as viruses and bacteria, which have the capability of schlepping bits of genetic material between highly different organisms. The tendency of most of these changes is to get evolved right back out, but occasionally one will stick around.

No, there is in principle no difference between these two forms of genetic modification. Your emotional reaction notwithstanding.

Is this a problem? What are the “toxins” involved? At what amounts are they showing up in the bloodstream? Are there explanations other than GM foods for these toxins appearing in the bloodstream? What are the known effects of the “toxins” at the concentrations being displayed?

The GM food industry is obviously biased. Just as much so as the authors of this study.

If Hitler told you that 2 plus 2 equalled 4, and Mother Theresa told you that 2 plus 2 equalled 5, who would you believe? Facts stand on their own, and should not be judged by based on the character of the person communicating them.

No there is not, one just speeds up the process, when you starting mooing from eating hamburger you would be correct.
