Messing With Nature Is Not Without Risks

A disturbing dimension of this topic is the monopolization of the research so that only those that "salute" get funded. This is the kind of thing that leads to bad science. All points of view need to be studied not just those that the industry subscribes to. The danger is that economic considerations and marketing considerations will trump the serious search for the truth. When dangerous side effects seem indicated (ex. high reproductive failure in animals) it needs to be studied so that it is understood. Just the variation in uptake of essential nutrients should be extremely troubling. If you are concerned about the integrity of the food supply then you need to understand what the issues are.
