“…A unique new study published Monday in the scientific journal Nature has used molecular profiles to reveal major differences in composition between a GMO corn and its non-GMO parent. These findings question industry and regulatory position of “substantial equivalence” and have serious safety implications.

The new peer-reviewed study led by Dr Michael Antoniou at King’s College London describes the effects of the process of genetic engineering on the composition of a genetically modified Roundup-resistant GMO corn variety, NK603….”

I’m sure the health profiles of Americans haven’t significantly changed in the 40 years since the wide spread use of glyphosate usage on crops that are essentially in everything…corn, alfalfa, wheat…

Doesn’t matter if the difference in the composition of the corn is statistically significant. The composition of the same variety of corn growing in two different fields can be statistically different. What matters is if the difference is biologically significant. It’s not.

I can’t prove it but it doesn’t pass the smell test.

The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.
