Good advice - none the less I will ask some questions locally to see of our local brands are following the rules. GMO's above a certain percentage need to be labelled here. I am careful to look out for Soy additives here as they are most likely GMO and soy is in almost all processed food. I occasionally take a multi though - vegetarian diet is a bit thin on the B vitamins - I will check it out.
Thanks for the post

Am I to assume that your lack of response to my question is the fact that nobody has gotten sick or died from GMO foods?
Seems kind of silly to run around raising alarms when nothing has happened. Assuming that these have been on the market since say 2000 I'd imagine there would be a few cases attributed to this problem.
How many years would it take for someone to actually get sick or die? If we are talking decades than I am just not seeing the problem you are.
Cancer will take longer than that. Give it another 20 years and we'll see people developing tumors at 30 to 40 years old. If you dont see that as a possible problem....eat away and help destroy our natural food supply.edit on 11-9-2013 by greavsie1971 because: (no reason given)

So you are saying they are unsafe? Am I going to die or get sick because of this?

Running the 90 day rat-death tests another 500 times is going to produce the same result: ignorance. You cannot ask a cow or a rat if her Lupus has gotten worse or if he felt lethargic since starting on GMO or highly hybridized foods. These studies did not measure toxic edema.

My question remains "What is the increase of attempted gene transfers by bacteria given the presence of a GMO."

Can you clarify your question? I don't really understand what an "increase of attempted gene transfers by bacteria" means. I don't really understand the context of " given the presence of a GMO."
You seem to have some understanding of how genetic modification is done but you seem to not understand that bacterial genes, not intact bacteria, are used as an agent to insert gene sequences.edit on 9/13/2013 by Phage because: (no reason given)
