I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | http://www.naturalnews.com/033784_GMO_animal_feed.html Mr. Adams at least links his study (note he says studies, but he just has one study) this time ( http://www.enveurope.com/content/23/1/10 ). But let's take a look and see if it 'concludes' as he says it does. "Conclusions The 90-day-long tests are insufficient to evaluate chronic toxicity, and the signs highlighted in the kidneys and livers could be the onset of chronic diseases. However, no minimal length for the tests is yet obligatory for any of the GMOs cultivated on a large scale, and this is socially unacceptable in terms of consumer health protection. We are suggesting that the studies should be improved and prolonged, as well as being made compulsory, and that the sexual hormones should be assessed too, and moreover, reproductive and multigenerational studies ought to be conducted too." And at the end of the study: "We can conclude, from the regulatory tests performed today, that it is unacceptable to submit 500 million Europeans and several billions of consumers worldwide to the new pesticide GM-derived foods or feed, this being done without more controls (if any) than the only 3-month-long toxicological tests and using only one mammalian species, especially since there is growing evidence of concern (Tables 1 and 2). This is why we propose to improve the protocol of the 90-day studies to 2-year studies with mature rats, using the Toxotest approach, which should be rendered obligatory, and including sexual hormones assessment too. The reproductive, developmental, and transgenerational studies should also be performed. The new SSC statistical method of analysis is proposed in addition. This should not be optional if the plant is designed to contain a pesticide (as it is the case for more than 99% of cultivated commercialized GMOs), whilst for others, depending on the inserted trait, a case-by-case approach in the method to study toxicity will be necessary." Sounds like a hard and fast conclusion to me that GMO animal feed causes organ failure. Mr. Adams, it sounds to me like this conclusion is 'we need to study this more, because the results of this study are inconclusive.' This study has some evidence that pesticides in GMOs may be causing health problems, but it's not conclusive or good enough, and needs more study, specifically longer term studies done with more animals. But you, predictably, have to whip up fear against your evil boogeyman at the slightest bit of evidence it's unhealthy, and misconstrue what this study is actually saying - 'we need to study this more'. | |||||

There ARE more sluts in public schools. Shut up and let me explain. Level: 8 CS Original | It's not scientific if you 1) use all secondary sources 2) base it on one sided observation with zero controls. It's propaganda, not science. | |||||
