I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to verify things before they start pretending to be an expert on them - I don't give people legal advice because I don't have a law degree and I don't give people medical advice because I'm not a doctor. If people aren't willing to actually read the research, and read the studies, they shouldn't be professing things as fact.For instance re: "eating Monsanto Corn and Monsanto Soybeans has been connected to tumors.cancer", here is a link to a magazine with the headline Monsanto Roundup weedkiller and GM maize implicated in ‘shocking’ new cancer study http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/home/top...king-cancer-study/232603.article?redirCanon=1 and another Shock findings in new GMO study: Rats fed lifetime of GM corn grow horrifying tumors, 70% of females die early http://www.naturalnews.com/037249_GMO_study_cancer_tumors_organ_damage.html#ixzz3SbE2tF7c .
So whats a consumer to do? They read these and panic. Now if you follow the link supplied in one article and actually read the study itself, you will find a different story, but who really does that?
All it takes is popping "Seralini" (the author of the study) in Google to get a quick answer on why these studies are junk - Seralini fudges data, and intentionally frames things to get the results he wants. His studies literally are lies - no one can reproduce his summary results, and he refuses to release any of the detail results, or his actual protocols. You can't use a variety of rats that spontaneously develops tumors when overfed, and not track feeding data. If people aren't willing to do even that [do a quick google search], then they shouldn't purport to be experts.
