No harmful effects?

LOL
More of the same old hysteria and misdirection
Still no PROVEN harmful effects under NORMAL exposure conditons.

Ah, but is modified ingredients in EVERYTHING moderate exposure???????? Who knows. If you want me to buy your product, tell me what's in it, don't give me the FDA or USDA says it's not harmful. My only choice now is to avoid it all.

If you want to avoid it, buy nothing but organic
It's a simple solution, although not one based on science

My thoughts are this is the normal vague MISinformation that most anti GMO sites use.
They started out with at totally irrational statement which showed their obvious bias, and then
they presented lots of HEARSAY, with no evidence to prove the claims.

A little research shows a different result than the site claims and that his conclusions were largely based on tests that only lasted 10 days
Here's what his own colleagues had to say about it::

Well, thanks for sharing. A potato is really the least thing in my mind, there was so much more and it convinces me to support “non-GMO”. I don’t understand why anyone would want GMO in their diet, but that’s fine, you are set on your opinion and, so what! I have mine too, we presented our cases and they differ widely, too bad. Going “back and forth” won’t help anything. At least you now have your studies which you said didn’t exist. The worst that can happen is you falsely convincing others that GMO is fine and making it harder for the rest of us to get away from it being in our food, and most importantly for me, our seeds. But will that really happen anyway? Maybe.
Makes no sense to me why someone would want more ‘science’ going into the stuff they’re eating and planting, even if they aren’t convinced it’s terrible. It’s still, like they say, fixing something that was never broken or re-inventing the wheel. But again, to each his own. Good luck to you all, keep fighting GMO’s and stay healthy!

And your proof that GMOs are harmless is... where? And define 'normal'. The diet of Americans today is far from normal, with all the fast food, processed food, chemicals and preservatives people are ingesting. And the body is reacting negatively because it doesn't know how to process these poisons. So you get heart issues, diabetes, liver, kidney issues, obesity, digestive issues..the list goes on and on. Yet, where's the proof that GMOs are healthy?

And you can't even trust that organic food doesn't have GMOs!! The Certified Organic label per the USDA guidelines is everchanging. Treating the USDA Organic label as a standard by which to avoid GMO or any other harmful chemicals is getting to be like the 'as seen on TV' products that don't work. They are allowing more and more harmful ingredients to bastardize the Organic label.

When asked for proof, the same old studies from the same old "scientists" are drug up and offered, even though they have been shown to be flawed

If you don't want to eat GMO's, then don't. It's your choice

But saying it's because it's harmful is simply not true.

Well, I disagree on that one...big time! But oh well. Because the study goes against what you want to believe doesn't make it useless. More than one was done, different types. And I'm not convinced they were refuted. And even things that weren't meant as studies prove it harmful. If you read through the material, you see what happened to one man doing research, yea, fired, material confiscated and gag order. Why would others want to risk going through the same thing. They don't.
Bear, here's what I would ultimately like to hear from you: Could you please lay down the "proof" why you say GMO's are the safe, no worry products that the manufacturers say they are? Why there is no reason to worry, why we should look the other way, away from all the suggested adverse health and environmental effects? Why you 'like' and use GMO's and wish to support them? Please.......
Thanks,

So what is your logical, rational explanation for skyrocketing cancer and allergy rates since GMO introduction?
