There's also a curious study comparing ancient wheat with modern wheat (I realize that may be not technically GMO) in, you guessed it, a blind crossover trial. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24521561?dopt=Citation http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24521561?dopt=Citation
- barry-cotter 13y agoI too support not eating anything that's been domesticated. Probably best not to cook food either, that's unnatural.
- DenisM 13y agoI'm just curious as to why you chose to ignore hundreds of GMO safety studies that were already published. I mean, it seems that you didn't even look for them, instead making up your mind that there aren't enough of them.
- penguindev 13y agoHow about you point me to a study that took a hundred years (to look at effect on future generations), controlled all other variables, had no dropouts, and didn't rely on self reported information. No? Ok, well when you're playing god, and I assume you're probably paid to work in this industry, just don't tell me that it's "safe", because that's damn hard (impossible?) and expensive to prove [because technically you'd have to do this on every new strain of every food], and that would conflict with short-term profits. PS GMO is also closely related to pesticide & herbicide use and biodiversity. How do you even begin to quantify those long term effects.
