Some quotes from the attached sudy (sorry i cant attach word Docs. I guess you can discredit this quote if you wish)

ā??Genetically modified (GM) plant products are becoming increasingly common in the human food-chain, yet in contrast to the general acceptance of the need for the biological testing of novel foods and feedstuffs, few studies have been carried out on the possible effects of GM products on the mammalian ut mucosa.ā?
---ie lack of testing. There was a bill pass a few years ago allowing little/no testing, Iā??ll find it. Just give me time
---Note: this is an independent study, I personally do not trust studies done by the corporation themselves. They have been shown to exclude and manipulate data. As well as changing the operational definitions to suit their needs

just look at what the industry vs independent studies had to say about aspartame
industry---100% positive
Independent--- 95% negative

Hmmm

Here are some interesting notes on the ā??icidesā? we use. Another reason to oppose crops designed to capitalize on their use.

" the EPA considers 60 percent of all herbicides, 90 percent of all fungicides, and 30 percent of all insecticides carcinogenic"

Us Manufactures exported more than 465 million pounds of pesticides in 1990, while more than 52 million pounds were banned, restricted or unregistered for use in the United States."

"Between 1945 and 1989, insecticide use in the US increased tenfold, while crop losses from insect damage almost doubled, from 7% to 13%"

Iā??d recommend checking it out, very interesting.
