risen_feenix~ “ Folks should keep in mind that, even if this study proves to be true, removing GM products poses a real clear and present danger. “
At least in the European Union , Genetically Modified foods have to be labeled as such.
Not so in this country.
The key question is : “ How much to you trust Monsanto ?”
I recall that the German engineers who created margarine (then made from Coal tar ?) refused to eat the stuff .
Personally , given the exclusivity of the Monsanto brand on herbicide / insecticide resistant crops suggests to me that the god almighty profit exceeds the need for “safe food” .
Monsanto now owns the seed , the insecticide , and the herbicide in “no-till farming” . I question their priorities.
Better to use the Geneticaly Modified crops for ethanol production .
This is not the first study to indicate possible long-term effects of G M foods ; its just the first long-term test that went out over 2 years , and can be verified.
Increased cancer rates, still-births , under-weight births, and sterility of off-spring were noted even in the previous short term studies.
Personally , I want GM foods and additives to be labeled.
I value health and safety over profit !
I almost hate to ask, but where did you come up with the idea that Monsanto has a monopoly on herbicides and insecticides used in no-till farming?
