The thing that bothers me most about GMO (and I'm sure its a common complaint), are the "terminator seeds".

[LithodidMan]

@bamboo4tameshigiri Yes, however (to the best of my knowledge) the technology has never been commercially implemented. This is contradictory to the claims of the anti-GMO groups who continually claim they are being used.

[CaseAgainstFaith1]

I'm only at the 7 minute mark. I'm sure it gets better as we go along. But, I'm at the point where you ask why he uses the term GMO when it isn't really specific enough. One answer could be that simply the term GMO is more known among TV audiences. Just saying.

[LithodidMan]

@CaseAgainstFaith1 Yeah, but Jessica Alba in Dark Angel referred to herself as a "transgenic" and what's scarier than Jessica Alba.... okay, I see your point.

[sciencemile]

I agree with the prologue; More important than what we believe is why we believe it.

[r0galik]

The anger in your voice is almost too appropriate, I'm also fed up with those science-misrepresenting douchebags

[dudev]

@Meatpieandtatters

Where did you get that idea from? The FDA employs thousands of scientists and has over a dozen laboratories around the country.

[wearestarstuffsagan]

when i first though about god and science/evolution/big bang etc i didnt even know there were so many creationists and christians, than i came to youtube and saw for myself. it seems creationists, anti-gmo etc are just anti-science all around

[wearestarstuffsagan]

can you please do a video on aspartame when you get enough free time and if you want to

[0mniaV1nc1t]

Since IGF-1 is a protein, I'm pretty certain that it would be digested by proteases like any other protein you ingest.

[0mniaV1nc1t]

@Lithodidman Welcome back, Lithy :)

[DasHortH]

Get a hand puppet, it will add the last bit of oomph to your lectures and put that wild hand of yours to good use.. :D

[Meatpieandtatters]

The FDA does not do testing. They only regulate.

[spiritualbully]

he says GMO rather than transgenic, because he doesn't know the term transgenic and assumes all GMO are transgenic, this is just like people who are so brainwashed to pro-life and equality ideals that they equate eugenics with transhumanism with depopulation.

[spiritualbully]

"I'm not against a scientific theory, I'm just against lies to support it"

[Evilanious]

lolwutWTF. A wave of peace? That last bit made me laugh.

[Version2PointZero]

Those anti-GMO people can be pretty ridiculous, but some of their claims are reasonable. You cite the loosing of GMO animals into the wild as one thing, and I think that's an example of a wider issue, which is the fact that our GMO still end up living in an ecosystem, no matter how hard we try -- and we have a really bad track record of dealing with unintended consequences in ecosystems. I don't think eating them is a huge issue (for now), but introducing them into the environment might be!

[arsenelupin123]

Aspartame tastes awful.

[arsenelupin123]

Jeffrey Smith is now on my blacklist.

[arsenelupin123]

If you are not affiliated with an university and need access to other articles I can try to get them for you.

[wolfwing1]

There are so many better things he could put his nonsense too, things that actually have issues...fucker. Hate people like this.

[DLandonCole]

Great video.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

@LithodidMan Hey man, Jessica Alba is hot. I'd fuck her.

[chrisbuxton1958]

fascinating vid, thanks for going to all this trouble to make it.

[1955RodHot]

Someone should send a link of this to Gary Franchi, and let him know he really needs to see the last few minutes of it. Thank you for taking the time and effort to expose this fraud. It's so easy for people to believe that food that has been fucked with genetically could harm them, especially with all the science-fiction movies and books out there that use genetic modification of all types as the boogeyman. It makes Smith's job of scare-mongering very easy.

[ReignbowSmite]

@LithodidMan I am against fear-mongering too, which is why I don't spread my fears onto others. If you're able to find something, I would be very grateful.

I've tried searching my self and can't find much on it at all. Thanks Lithodid ^_^

You're awesome, wonderful video!
