Yes, THAT was the point; That incidents of major diseases are increasing and there is the very real possibility that GMOs are related, especially in light of the results of recent studies. So further testing is certainly indicated.
Um... ??? Where did you come up with that statement that I supposedly said, "You said radiation was used to insert foreign genetic material into another cell..."? If I wrote that, then that was a grand typo. But I suspect you just didn't actually read what I wrote... I don't recall ever saying that radiation was used to insert foreign genetic material into another cell. What does that even mean? Why or how would you even use radiation in that method? I said radiation was a technique sometimes used to genetically modify foods, as is using genetic materials from other species and sources.
The bee company was working to determine whether GMOs, specifically certain Monsanto varieties, had any affect on the bee populations. If they were about to exonerate them, why would Monsanto buy them and screw that up? Hmmm? And Monsanto BOUGHT, PAST TENSE, the company already, in 2011,so the actual findings are long gone, you can bet on that. If the companies research exonerated Monsanto, sense would clearly have led Monsanto to keep distance from the company so it could reveal their findings and make Monsanto look good. Instead they tainted all that work by having the very company they were researching buy them out.
I gave a link to a long, partial list of companies that Monsanto bought to you already. Find the link. Clink the link. Enjoy. Or do a google search. Really Paul, it isn't as difficult as you're making it out to be.
I don't see anyone claiming that all GMO's will have ill effects. Most are claiming that the potential is there for some to, and because of that, sufficient testing should be done before it is spread in countless ways to the human population and world at large.
