Re: [SANET-MG] From transfats to transgenics



Hi Greg,
You are correct, Vistive has a roundup ready gene but that is an after thought to the low-linoleic ( LL) phenotype introduce by conventional breeding.It seems as if journalists may have taken up the new approach to science, to quote the editor of the British Food Journal “A common misconception is that science and research are about facts” Griffith,A Editors’s note British Food Journal 2006,108,8 sincerely, joe cummins

I thought Vistive was only GM because Monsanto added herbicide tolerance to it. Isn't the low-linoleic trait due to conventional breeding?
