gmo questions - CharlieP

[pourfarmer]

Because canola oil is processed so
intensely it contains no gm material?
The protein structure is identical
between gm and non gm canola oil?

I was reading the link below, and
decided to do a bit more research and
came across the statement: "The
insertion of genes in the genome through
genetic engineering interrupts the cod
ing sequence of the DNA, creating trun
cated, rogue proteins, which can cause
unintended effects. It’s an invasive
technology.

Biotech companies ignore these rogue
proteins; they say they are background
noise. But we should pay attention to
them. It must be verified that they pro
duce no negative effects."

I am curious how you will be able to
defend the purity of gm canola oil as
compared to non gm canola oil after
reading the information above.

When you crush seeds, the protein stays in the meal. Oil has no
protein. PERIOD.

You can pretty much stop reading if a
'scientist' says superweed in any
interview.

Oh and look, he just happens to be an
organic farmer. What are the odds of
that? Ummmm 1.
