I could run an experiment where Water could be found to kill lab rats. I remember that there was a study that found that black pepper gave rats cancer. It caused quite a furor for a year or so, and then it was realized that people would have to eat pounds of black pepper to even get close to the quantities fed rats. I share your concern over the pell-mell moves into GMO's without testing, but I think it will be some time before we have a handle on what is happening. Unfortunately the people approving these plantings don't have a clue to what happens in the natural environment when GMO pollen is released. A recent study in Hawaii shows that as much as 50 percent(??) of all papaya on islands with GMO plantings shows positive signs of GMO strains. The point being that introducing GMO varieties quickly limits the consumer choice to GMO containing product. And in Hawaii there is no requirement that papaya growers tell anyone that their product is a GMO variety. People take the seeds and plant them in their garden, and spread the strain without knowledge. Aside from the papaya growing out of my ear, I show no effects of GMO papaya consumption.
