[QUOTE="fargus, post: 741799, member: 13480"] Sorry to bust your bubble, but GMO, conventional or organic, that isn't going to happen. Accidents happen. Food preparation mistakes in your own kitchen happen. Drinking tea affects your immune system. (Yes, the wonderful tannins that bind free radicals affects your bodies response to some carcinogens. It's a positive effect, but still an alteration of your bodies chemistry.) There is no panacea of perfectly healthy food. Our society is filled with people attempting to eliminate risk from their lives. You simply can't. Everything in life is a calculated risk, and I agree we should take the steps appropriate to each of us to responsibly manage it. But to make something perfectly safe and risk-free? Get your head out of the clouds. I will cite the study that showed that grass-fed beef had lower levels of E. coli in its gut than grain-fed. QED it's safer? No, you make a handling mistake with either one and you have a food contamination problem. We hear it in the climate change debate all the time: "The majority of scientists believe...." That isn't good enough. I have my own brain, and I'll take a cross-section of the available information and draw my own conclusions. I conclude that transgenics are getting blamed for a lot of things that are theorized at best, and at worst data is being manipulated to stretch towards a pre-conceived conclusion. I am aware of the information out there, I am aware of the SOURCES of the information I consider, and I will continue to evaluate as new studies come to light. [/QUOTE]
