Aricle (*NOT* from Monsanto!) shows most GMO critics are full of it.
The hysteria regarding GMO crops is just out of hand.

Like 14 years is a ginormous length of time to make the statement no adverse health or environmental effects ... RIDICULOUS ...
I wonder why these countries decided to ban GMOs ...?

No, GMOs Won't Harm Your Health

Anti -GMO propagandist. Why don't you read the FAQ's by WHO on GMOs? Oh wait I forgot. Science and facts not wanted

In 1999, Monsanto defined an extreme level of its Roundup herbicide as 5.6 milligrams per kilogram of plant weight.
So imagine how alarmed scientists were to find, on average, nine milligrams of Roundup per kilogram on 70 percent of the genetically engineered soy plants they recently tested. (At least 85 percent of all soy grown in the U.S. is genetically engineered).
The scientists studied 31 different soybean plants on Iowa farms. They compared the accumulation of pesticides and herbicides on plants in three categories: genetically engineered "Roundup Ready" soy, conventionally produced (non-GMO) soy, and soy cultivated using organic practices.
And the results were extremely disturbing.
The study will be published in June, in Food Chemistry, but its available now online.

(50,743 posts)I'm not actually concerned about toxicity from Vit D. Or eating GMOs for that matter. I consume both freely.
Interesting chart though.
