Re: [SANET-MG] Rats
Hi Neal,
Thanks for the comment. My first thought is that the Russian studies
should be presumed valid until proved otherwise. Similar animal studies
have not yet been reported from US or Europe. Next, could human babies
be hurt by eating gm soy? The key to the promotion of gm foods has been
that they must not be labeled as gm. The official claim by bureaucrats
is that nobody has been hurt by consuming gm foods is totally
unscientific because the unlabeled foods cannot be traced to be
associated with human illness, Several years ago my colleague, Dr.
Mae-Wan Ho, pointed out that food related illness has increased since
the introduction of unlabeled gm foods and I believe that is even more
true currently. As EU begins to accept and label gm foods scientific
studies of the impact of such foods will be possible.Of course the
labeling of gm foods will cause squeal of pain from the pro gm advocates
and public relations folks because they do not want us to know. Some
local agriculture professors have claimed that gm food labeling would
cause a huge increase in food prices, that is, of course, only in their
wildest dreams.
sincerely, joe cummins

Joe, I don't know much about GM soy and nothing about rats but if
there were such a huge issue with GM soy killing the young who at it
wouldn't hog farmers around the world be yelling about sudden
mortality issues? What about poultry farmers and dairy as well as
beef? Or does this issue only effect rats?
Just my thoughts.
Neal
