HUH? Very FEW tomatoes are genetically modified right now! MOST are "hybrids" which is NOT a genetic modification! However, about 90% of SOY is genetically modified and nearly as much feed corn is also - so if you are eating grain-fed beef ... good luck to your intestinal microbia.

Hear Hear!

Not necessarily: Hybrid means they have crossbred 2 kinds of tomatoes. The 2 kinds could have been natural or genetically modified. The chance that at least one of the kinds was modified is quite high though, since most of the tomatoes are genetically modified nowadays. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. GM food is often healthier than natural food.

At this point, I don't think it's logical to really argue for or against genetic engineering because we don't have substantial LONG-TERM studies. And whether or not it caused health problems in the case of L-tryptophan does not necessarily mean it's harmful in ALL cases. We really need to conduct some long-term studies before we put too much effort into arguing for or against it.

Seeds of Deception - what an appropriate title.

"PEER reviewed". And, since you're arguing with the evidence in the video, you need to actually SITE your evidence if you want it taken seriously.

I agree with this video, we need to monitor and check what is being done "for us". Check out soy oil, that's a revelation, and it is in so many processed foods! Remember, the bottom line is the money, not the health.

lol "trust my government" well I'm not American... so no I don't trust the US government, however I do trust the pier reviewed papers stating GM foods are safe! Stating facts like GM food causes mutations is not only contradictory to the papers but in fact SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.. so in response, yes I have done my homework and I have done some reading, I can assume you havent since the average reading age in the US is 9yo.. but I wont hold that against you :)

mothball667 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

sure of course the FDA is in fact evil and are not doing what there supposed to be doing etc etc... lefty conspiracy rubbish... the fact still stands that ALL SCIENTIFIC DATA SO FAR SAYS GM FOODS ARE SAFE AND PRESENT NO ENVIROMENTAL DANGER. not one pier reviewed paper says otherwise. sorry but the left greenies are reponsible for millions of deaths through the banning of DDT and lobbying african governments saying GM foods are dangerous.

naive to the end I guess.
