[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 970865, member: 18682"] There are lots of web sites out there de-crying GMOs, however they some of them might be considered "conspircy" type web sites, so that was why I put a university web page which is backed up by a bit of research. There theoretically may be some problems with introducing different plant species into mainline plants. Take for instance say someone has allergies to say tomatoes, and the tomatoe gene is implanted into say corn or some other plant, and the unsuspecting allergic person eats the genetically modified product that has the tomato inserted into the corn. There is the possibility of anaphalctic shock. Not a nice thought. That is hard to prove or dis-prove, but you have to admit that sickness with no known reason is at an all time high, and very often doctors shake their heads and walk away, as they don't know why cases of asthma and allergies are going through the roof, and every other kind of disease. I have a close family member who cannot eat modern hybrid wheat, she gets quite sick. She can eat the old fashioned wheat no problem. Her body knows the difference, even when she doesn't. She never knew this for a long time, and was sick for ages. Also, consider the reported problems of reduced productivity for GMO plants, that a high number of them produce less than some of the old standbys. The research is out there. Or consider that I think it was last year in S.Africa they had a 80% corn crop failure, because of relying on GMO corn seed, instead of relying on various different seed types from various companies. The seed was no good, and a big enough volume the country itself had an 80 % crop failure. not good if that is your staple product. There are stories out there that I have not had the time to find out if they are true or not that in the developement of GMOs some of the plants were injected with parts of the E.coli bacteriam. If true- Thank you very much, I have seen enough sickness from e.coli to last a long long time, and would rather not deliberately eat it. If you want to eat the stuff.. go for it, I would rather not, but realize it is in almost everything we buy anymore, so it is difficult to avoid. As for what caused the cattle to be sterile, there are a number of things that could have caused the problem, and I suspect nothing was ever proved either way... [/QUOTE]
