What's the point of offering peer reviewed studies here when you can google the studies at your heart's content? There are peer reviewed studies on both sides, as I said. It isn't a cut and dry issue as PM made it out to be.
Here's an example of a citation, not peer reviewed but still interesting.

And I think you mean 'blow it out your ear'!

Originally posted by seanD View PostYep, that's what PM did; offer a cogent argument backed by peer review data. Blow it our your rear. It's a very controversial issue with many sides of the argument and many sides with peer review studies saying different things. Only in this case, I find the side saying GMO is unhealthy a bit more legitimate than say a side being funded by Monsanto who has more to lose.

I never understood most GMO debates. It's always "GMOs are bad!" or "GMOs are good!" as if GMOs are a single "thing." It's like debating whether or not drinking liquid is good for you.
There is no simple answer to the question of whether or not GMOs are safe or harmful because it varies depending on what sort of GMO we're talking about.

GMO is a "mixed bag" so to speak. Making crops, for example, poisonous to insects. Can yet have unforeseen problems for birds who eat the insects and animals and humans who eat that corp. The developers claim it is safe. But is it? I'm not so sure the science is settled. Note the lose of bees and the monarch butterfly. Was it GMO? Maybe regarding the bees. GMO nicotine in come crops? Bees were not the target. The butterfly loss seems to be do to eradication of milk weeds around crops in farm land. I may not have all my facts straight here. But those things as I remember hearing them.
