You all can argue against their finding.All I know is that since there has been a flood of GM corn and soy into the U.S. market, I developed severe allergies/asthma and could not figure out what triggers it.I became familiar with the fact that the majority of corn and soy in the U.S. is GM and began to see the connection.When I avoid those products, I do not suffer the symptoms of severe allergies/asthma.Monsanto is a monster corporation. Europe has the right idea.Keep up with the ban on GMOs.

concluded by scientists appointed ad hoc by Merkl, Sarkosy and Brown?

dear gmofed, you understand that your statement does not mean much without more info (actual documents or statements produced by the EFSA, then let's see who are the scientist or bureaucrats involved in this "peer review", and who is contributing to their vacation home.

Cheers

Its amazing there have been so few rat or mice studies published since the often attacked Arpad Pustzai studies on gmo potatoes at the Rowlett Institute in Scotland.This clip was two years ago the debate will take another ten years as the corporations have too influence and not hard facts.The US is putting more pressure on Europreans right to have gmo free food/crops the pretence of 'helping the third world' is here belied it's about markets only.

Peer review by scientists of the European Food Safety Authority has come to the conclusion that CRIGEN was wrong in its statistical re-evaluation of the Monsanto data.

For the best education on GMO's on the internet, watch "Future of Food". It is a 1hr/29-min documentary that you can now see in Google Videos - informative, truthful, theatre quality, totally fun to watch.
