You're going to have a hard time convincing me that, while humans can derive nutrition from almost anything on the entire planet, including flora and fauna that no homo sapien has ever encountered before, changing a few alleles in something's DNA is going to hurt us. Unless it specifically causes the organism to produce something on the relatively short list of organic molecules that's especially toxic to humans, then there's no harm done. Nothing in your website points out a specific compound produced by a GMO that's harmful, so I don't think they understand the actual science behind it.
Ever heard of allergies? Your idea of hurt might be different than anothers.
Not to mention humans have been dropping dead and getting sick from things they eat forever.
Even the study done for the FDA stated different risks. Didn't claim there were no risks.
Not only that, but other countries label their GMO ingredients. While Monsanto & other big corporations fought tooth & nail, spent millions of dollars to prevent the labeling of GMO ingredients in the USA. If GMO's are safe, why are they trying soooo hard to hide the GMO ingredients from us? Why??? If its so wonderful LABEL it! We should be able to choose what we eat & how we spend our money.
I also cannot stand how different companies like Kraft use GMO ingredients & artificial colors for the products sold in the US, but use natural colors like beet juice, paprika in products outside of the US, why the double standard? Why do we get the worse? It happens with everything, from cereals, candies, drinks, etc. So, they can manage to produce a better product for other countries that demand it, but not for us?
Thanks for the link & thread. It is a real shame, sad indeed that we have to fight for this.
It is also sad how the same people who support Monsanto, always show up in these threads, I wonder if they are on their payroll oh, nevermind, I know they must be.
of course. anyone who questions the hysterics must automatically be paid by Monsanto.
there is no other possibility. i'm only surprised it took this many posts for this to be said.

if GMOs terrify you so badly, why not just buy certified organic?
would this not put an end to your nightmares?
I see a few Lefties here that don't like GM foods, but in other threads praise the Fed. Government and the FDA which are RESPONSIBLE for GM foods. So which is it? Is the FDA good or bad? Please make up your damn minds! Also, it's the FEDS that don't allow local farmers to grow and sell to the populace.

Isn't it funny to see people use the same old worn out phrases "on their payroll"
Must be from the certified organic food they eat that's fertilized with disease-ridden cow poop.....
I saw your links the first time. You lumping everyone in a big pot isn't truth. That's your biased perspective. If you are bored why are you on this thread?
Excuse me, I replied in-topic with the OP.
Please point out to me where in the TOS it says one can only post if one agrees with the OP....
Why is it bobbing heads hate it when anyone questions their viewpoint?
How lazy can one get? Did you check out the link I provided? All your studies are linked to there.
Here is something about one of them.
A new published study reveals that insecticidal proteins from genetically modified corn crops are entering streams throughout the Midwestern United States. The proteins enter streams through runoff and when corn leaves, stalks, and plant parts are washed into stream channels, and are being found even six months after harvest. The study’s authors say more research is needed to determine the impacts of the GM material on the streams’ ecosystems. The study was published in September in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). - See more at: GM corn polluting Midwest streams
Nothing like modern up-to-date new huh?
From your article:
Quote:
In a 2007 PNAS paper, Tank and a group of researchers demonstrated that GM materials from corn (pollen, leaves, cobs) do, in fact, enter streams in the agricultural Midwest and can be subsequently transported to downstream water bodies.
Research needed on impacts of GMO on ecosystems
Mind you, not that there is any health problems with these "GM materials" Just that some people get scawred at the mention of GM crops or Technology
