- JoeAltmaier 12y agoSo, those soybeans were nearly as allergenic as Brazil nuts? What's your point?
- DanBC 12y agoSomething containing soya isn't labled as containing brazil nuts. Since parent is replying to someone who says "no one ever got ill from eating a GMO" it seems a fair enough, and obvious, point.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoThis wasn't a case of food becoming toxic due to an unforeseen chemistry stemming from genetic tinkering. They put the albumin in the bean. Albumin has a well-known effect on those sensitive to it. Nothing surprising here. They could just as well have cooked the beans with some albumin. This is also obvious, to tell the truth.
