But is that as bad as anti-GMO activists make it out to be? Over at Slate Jon Entine has a scathing critique of Elle magazine's nail-biting feature on genetically modified corn (categorized in the hair
I quickly discovered that blaming GMO foods for any kind of health problem is controversial in the medical
While there's certainly a complex story to be told on the subject of GMOS Elle seems to have passed right by it into conspiracy theory territory.
and sale of genetically modified (GMO) seed crop regardless of any consumer health concerns. As the Washington Times points out the provision s success is viewed by many as a victory by companies like Syngenta Corp Cargill Monsanto
and FDA all acknowledge the risks involved with GMO's. Their adverse affects on environment have been shown
GMO's certainly have their place in the world but careless actions with them and legal barriers like the ones put in place by Monsanto are dangerous practices.
Joe GMO crops don't produce their own pesticide rather they are resistant to (i e. they don't die from) pest
Regardless I'm neither for or against GMO crops what I'm against is stated what you in the latter part of your post;
I head somewhere that recently they prohibited agro companies from suing farmers that accidentally grow GMO crops that got there by cross pollinationalso the article says that theres nothing thats been published to support the notion of any health detriments (or benefits) from GMO crops...
Not saying this is the case with GMO crops but large agro can't make a claim of safety until independent studies have been conducted.
University of Kentucky study on GMOS: Bt Delta Endotoxin-The Bt delta endotoxin was selected because it is highly effective at controlling Lepidoptera larvae caterpillars.
For this reason GMOS that have the Bt gene are compatible with biological control programs
Bt-corn is a type of genetically modified organism termed GMO. A GMO is a plant
or animal that has been modified genetically through the addition of a small amount of genetic material from other organisms through molecular techniques.
Currently the GMOS on the market today have been given genetic traits to provide protection from pests tolerance to pesticides
Examples of GMO field crops include Bt-potatoes Bt-corn Bt-sweet corn Roundup Ready soybeans Roundup Ready Corn
The majority of GMO plants are made to resist you know who's herbicide. The local plants are now growing immune to the herbicide.
The scientific consensus is that all GMO products currently on the market are as safe or in many cases safer than conventionally grown food.
And thank you Empmortakaten for pointing out that there is greater public health risk from so-called organic foods than from GMO foods.
It is telling that so many anti-GMO acolytes focus on the money trail that they imagine leads to promoters or defenders of GMO crops.
They rarely provide studies of GMO foods that show measurable harm (because there aren't any)
Like it or not GMO foods are here to stay and all the studies so far show that they are just as safe as non-GMO foods.

Sincerely-Joehttp://www. joesid. comso TANGSTEN point us to a study not tainted by seed dispensary money that shows that GMO foods are measurably more dangerous than non-GMO foods.
The author of the study is Gilles-Eric SÃ Â ralini a notable critic of GMO crops. http://www. sciencedirect. com/science/article/pii/S0278691512005637here is a summary
It is possible that specific GMO foods in the future--ones not studied and certified yet--may turn out to be more harmful than their non-GMO counterparts.
However the ones that have been certified so far have undergone pretty extensive testing and found to be at least as safe for consumptions as non-GMO foods.
Environmental concerns remain to be tested more fully perhaps but so far so good. Also to address your misconception about chemical weapons in Iraq.
and carcinogenicity studies by industry and academic scientists as well as in 90-day studies on GMOS.
Now to the pigs Conclusion Pigs fed a GMO diet exhibited heavier uteri and a higher rate of severe stomach inflammation than pigs fed a comparable non-GMO diet.
Given the widespread use of GMO feed for livestock as well as humans this is a cause for concern.
The results indicate that it would be prudent for GM CROPS that are destined for human food

and sold in the world today affects the fertility of mice. The mice which were fed the GMO corn had significantly lower fertility rates than the mice fed natural non-GMO corn.
Disturbingly this declining ability to have continued babies down through future mouse generations as well. ÃÃÚÂ Ã 2. A comparative analysis published in the International Journal of Biological sciences examined the health effects of three different varieties of Monsanto-developed GMO corn on mice.
While the specific effects differed depending upon the variety of GMO corn that was eaten the dose that was consumed
and the sex of the mammal all three varieties of GMO corn caused damage to the animals major detoxifying organs namely the liver and the kidneys.
Other effects were also found in the heart adrenal glands spleen bone marrow lymph nodes and other blood-making organsã¢Â#Âll of which are signs of severe toxicity. 3. This past year Food Chemical Toxicology published the results of a two-year study conducted by scientists at the University of Caen
and female rats the death rates for the animals fed GMO corn was two to three times higher than the animals eating non-GMO corn.
The GMO-fed mice were also four times more likely to develop tumors. GMO-eating females developed more mammary tumors as well as pituitary gland and hormonal abnormalities.
GMO-eating males developed significantly more cases of liver damage liver failure and severe kidney malfunctions. 4. Profit Pro a crop analysis
and management company recently released a report that showed staggering nutritional deficiencies in GMO corn
when compared to non-GMO corn. For example while average non-GMO corn contains 6130 ppm of calcium GMO corn contains 14 ppm four hundred-and-thirty-seven times less than the original vegetable.
Non-GMO corn contains 113 ppm of magnesium and GMO corn contains 2 ppm which is fifty-six times less.
Non-GMO corn contains 14 ppm of manganese while GMO corn contains 2 ppm. Deficiencies in these vital nutrients are associated with increased rates of osteoporosis cancer and other diseases.
Monsanto s GMO corn is engineered to be immune to glyphosate-based weed-killers such as Monsanto s trademarked Roundupãherbicide used on crops and fields nationwide.
This saves farmers the trouble of having to till their soil and de-weed their fields first allowing them to bathe their lands with abundant amounts of glyphosate herbicides in the presence of corn without concern that their corn crops will be killed.
However this also means that modern corn is laced with extensive glyphosate residues that we eat on a regular basis. Research shows that regular long-term intake of glyphosate is linked to increased risks of gastrointestinal disorders obesity diabetes heart disease
depression autism infertility cancer and Alzheimer s disease. ÃÚ à The glyphosate-resistance of GMO corn has encouraged such an over-abundance of glyphosate-based herbicides to be dumped into the environment worldwide that nature has started to respond in kind with the evolution of âÂ#Âoesuperweeds.
âÂ# A report published by the National Academy of Sciences Board on Agriculture
and Natural resources found at least nine species of weeds that have evolved naturally to withstand glyphosate weed-killers.
Other studies are beginning to discover certain insects that are adapting to GMO corn s inherent insecticide abilities.
As nature starts to catch up to our laboratory antics the agricultural and economic advantages of GMO corn are starting to become obsolete
GMO corn contains an extremely high level of formaldehyde a chemical linked to adverse health effects and various forms of cancer.
While one study found that 0. 97 ppm of formaldehyde is toxic to mammals GMO corn was found to contain 200 times that amount. these comments...
to sides arguing whos right-pro and anti gmo people. And both are blind to the opposite side facts.
GMO foods got sideeffects -if they arent carefully made and tested yet they can also be healthy and better if doen right.
as long as its not gmo. How do you expect to feed 7 billion people (with soo many starving already) with natural expensive and organic foods?
and GMO foods-but if you have to choose inbetween GMO food and starvation for a month-there is nothing to choose.
If yo uare soooo against GMO-then please find a better alternative. Laurenra7 I hope you come back to discuss what tangsten posted about the long-term studies.
They are already working on better solutions than GMO foods. 3-D printers can now print food that provides everything you need to survive.

#Another Chinese National Indicted For Stealing American GMO Cornsometimes even a high-tech heist requires a little digging around in the dirt.
Earlier this month a federal court indicted a Chinese national for trying to steal GMO corn technology from Dupont Monsanto and Agreliant Genetics.

Parent plants are much more valuable than the GMO seeds farmers buy. A farmer who plants a crossbred GMO corn crop could keep the resulting seeds
and replant them if she wanted. I mean technically she could because the seeds aren't sterile as is alleged often

what the potential consequences of genetically modified organisms (GMOS) are, and what the global public role is in their use or disuse.
and the use of technology to produce GMOS was born. GMOS: What they are and why they re used According to THE WHO,
GMOS oecan be defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally it allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another, also between non-related species. Simply put,
genetic modification involves manipulating the genetic makeup of food to create or enhance characteristics that are desired by humans.
