Acutually you're wrong.
Studies show RNA from our food remains in our digestive system
therefore it affects our entire system, organs included.
So, surprise! RNA is food. Who would have thunk it? We eat it every day don't we?

So, we are seeing the fallout already, since GMO were widely allowed into the food
chain around 1990, that is about 23 years, and one can make comparisons to the
health of those nations who will not allow GMO crops, to say...the U.S. where nearly
all of the major food stuffs have GMO ingredients.
No Phage, your wrong.
You can't be serious.
Statistics on the Decline and Fall of American Health since Genetically Engineered Foods and High Fructose Corn Syrup Were Put into Commerce by Monsanto and Big Food in the Late 1990s
It is safe to say that McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants were basically organic from the 1950s through 1980s

Tell that to the people who wrote that stupid article.
Organic is not the issue,
You mean Bt toxins? The ones that organic farmers use? Those toxins?
The toxic pesitcides that are GE engineered into the food, sometimes triple stacked pesticides.

Can you explain "triple stacked"?

Her "studies" are not science.
Short memory? A experiment with no clear hypothesis to start. A lack of controls. Natural variation ignored. It actually showed that the animals fed non-GMO had more stomach "inflamation" than those that were fed GMO.
Waiting.
Because it is bad science. Pointing out bad science is a good thing. Supporting bad science is a bad thing. Supporting ignorance is a bad thing.
explain why it is logical or intelligent to attack her research.

Monsanto is just one more Usa government black ops project with free reign for a undercover chemical and biological war against the world.
I did not post in that thread, but however did look at your posts.
Yes. A link to a paper which demonstrates how shoddy the work of Carmen is. She completed ignored factors which would be critical in such a study.
You posted an old paper from 2005, and then a link to her study.
The United States is suffering the worst drought in 50 years. But crop damage may well have been avoided if high quality non-GM varieties were available to farmers. Further evidence is emerging that glyphosate-tolerant crops are ill-equipped to deal with drought, while high quality non-GM varieties are flourishing. Monopoly of the seed industry has left farmers unable to get non-GM varieties, despite the drought having global repercussions including steep rises of cereal prices and reduced meat production in many countries.
In a commentary circulated by GM Watch (UK), Howard Vlieger, a co-founder and agroecological farming advisor of Verity Farms in drought-stricken South Dakota the US, provides evidence from a farmer who has grown both GM and Verity Farms’ non-GM varieties of soybean and corn side by side [1]. Non-GM corn, grown in agroecological conditions to promote soil biodiversity and nutritional content is shown next to Monsanto’s GM triple-stack GM corn, which is glyphosate-tolerant and additionally expresses two Bt insecticidal toxins, grown using conventional chemical industrial methods that include the use of Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicide, Roundup (Figure 1). As captured in the photograph, non-GM varieties appear greener, fuller, and healthier. These impressions are backed up by the far superior yield reported of non-GM corn, which averaged 100-120 bushels per acre (BPA) compared to the 8-12 BPA to 30-50 BPA of GM corn.
The large yield differential was confirmed in a new set of harvest data provided by Vlieger (with accompanying photographic identification)
for three fields surrounding Verity Farm, all growing Smart Stack RR corn [2].
All were harvested for corn silage as the yields were too poor to harvest the grain. The federal crop insurance adjuster appraised yields were respectively 12 bushels per acre (BPA), 27 BPA, and 28 BPA. The Non-GMO corn on Verity Farm across the road yielded 108 BPA.
Previous studies found glyphosate tolerant crops require more water
Triple Stack RR corn may be especially drought intolerant, but the new evidence from the farm is consistent with previous laboratory findings that glyphosate-treated crops are less water efficient than untreated crops. One such study was performed in Brazil when farmers reported “injured-looking” glyphosate-tolerant soybean crops. The team, led by Luis Zobiole from State University of Maringá found that GM glyphosate-tolerant (GT) soybeans absorbed less water, which resulted in reduced water efficiency [3]. The volume of water that non-treated GT soybean plants required to produce 1 g of dry biomass was 204 % and 152 % less than required when the plant is exposed to 2 400 grams acid equivalent (a.e) of glyphosate per hectare, in single or sequential applications respectively. GT soybean plants receiving a single application of the currently recommended rates of glyphosate (600–1200 grams a.e per hectare) needed 13–20% more water to produce the same amount of dry biomass than non-glyphosate treated plants.
A previous publication by the same lab showed GT soybeans to have reduced lignin content and photosynthesis rates, both possible mechanisms for the reduced water efficiency [4]. Lignin is an essential component of plant cell walls, and contributes to the compression strength of stems and to the efficient transport of water and solutes over long distances within the vascular system. Water deficiency is not the only physiological effect that glyphosate imposes on crops. It has been shown to reduce nutrient availability and immune responses and thus defence against plant diseases (see [5] Glyphosate Tolerant Crops Bring Death and Disease, SiS 47). At least 40 diseases are known to be increased in weed control programmes with glyphosate and the list is growing, affecting a wide range of species: apples, bananas, barley, bean, canola, citrus, cotton, grape, melon, soybean, sugar beet, sugarcane, tomato and wheat [6].

No. I'm providing facts. It is you who is spouting off rhetoric, anti-GMO nonsense.
Phage, all you are spouting off is a bunch of heated upset rhetoric. Monsanto
talking points. You use words like shoddy, but you dont prove anything by saying that.
Yes. I call stupid articles stupid because they are stupid. "Mcdonald's was essentially organic". Right.
You call articles stupid.
Unfortunately you don't seem to understand what science is.
I call that bad science.
