Finally, overwhelming evidence to close down the anti-GMO activists' unproven and unscientific claims of risks from GMO food. It's time to put an end to the hysteria.
Researchers from University of California-Davis Department of Animal Science examined the health and productivity of 100 Billion farm animals over a 27 year period, encompassing a trillion feedings, both before and after GMO foods were introduced to their feedings... and look at what that massive project showed:
These big companies count on people like you who never, ever "follow the money" to see who paid for this.
This is what propaganda is all about.
I hope you learned from this. Would Monsanto ever pay to have a study saying their GM products are NOT safe ?
FWIW any studies that started to show adverse affects of something were quickly defunded and ended not only for GM food but for lots of other "scientific research" that companies hoped to use to peddle their wares.

No..I take nothing at face value,but I'm sure not stupid enough to take a Monsanto funded study at face value either...I wish YOU had a farm that was cross contaminated with Monsanto crap (not by choice)and they came visiting YOU or your neighbor...perhaps then you wouldn't be such a corporate for the rest of your life...then again,some are slow learners I guess

Reason: language
strangely enough, the euros - who certainly are NOT funded by teh EEEVIL monsanto and would like nothing more, in many cases, to find a problem with GMOs - also conclude they are safe

Exactly what I came here to say. When their "studies" don't show the results they want they just end and defund the study, never to speak of it again.
Researchers/Scientists are forced to sign contracts complying with these Corporate rules.

Liberal logic: A small cohort of scientists with a political agenda offer indisputable proof of AGW and anyone who argues with the settled science is a heretic and RWNJ. On the other hand, scientific proof related to the safety of GMO crops is bogus science by a small cohort of politically-motivated scientists with ties to the Evil Koch Brothers.
Don't even get me started on the settled science of vaccines and EMF energy.
I'm not anti-GMO, but this is silly. Essentially all the climate scientists in the world are "a small cohort"? Comparing the rapidly-evolving science of GMOs, to millions of years of climate science evidence with an insurmountable consensus interpretation, is ridiculous.
"...But there was one fact the “Biotech Knowledge Center” Web site failed to mention: Monsanto paid for the UC Davis research.
...You name it, and biotechnology companies help pay for it at UC Davis: laboratory studies, scholarships, post.doctoral students' salaries, professors' travel expenses, even the campus utility bill. Some professors earn extra money, up to $2,000 a month, consulting for such companies on the side..."
Holy, you know what. Conflict of interest much?
So much for the myth of universities being liberal.
EXACTLY! Wonder who's 'flunky' the OP is...Monsanto employee or the government's?

Denialism on the other hand is supported by a number of scientists so small that you can probably count them on one hand.

First off, GMOs aren't even a left/right partisan issue.
I lean left and don't automatically connect the unethical behavior of Monsanto to GMOs in general, and would imagine that they are probably safe in the same way synthetic flavors or even synthetic foods aren't inherently unhealthy simply because they were created in a lab.
The problem with GMOs is when they're engineered to resist ungodly amounts of pesticide, which cannot be washed off and ends up being consumed.
