I may have eaten some GMO food today

[Orrex]

How long until I'm dead because of the epigenetic effects, in terms of gene expression, caused by the consumption of that GMO food?

[Renew Deal]

1. You're already dead

That's right. There's DU in the afterlife.

[arcane1]

2. And it is indistinguishable from regular normal life.

Whether that is Heaven or Hell depends on the individual DUer

[Renew Deal]

3. Most think they're in hell

But they're actually in heaven.

[arcane1]

8. Don't tell them!

They're in Heaven because they think they're in Hell

4. What the heck is that "epigenetic" and "gene expression" stuff, anyway?

I never heard of it before.

(Why is it I feel like it's going to be woo, like "quantum healing?&quot

[Orrex]

5. Loser.

Probably a problem with your modalities.

[Archae]

6. Say what?

And "Loser?"

[Orrex]

7. Check your PM

And isn't "modalities" one of the perennial alt-med buzzwords?

[Archae]

9. Yeah, along with "quantum" and "Big Pharma."

12. Love it!

[drm604]

13. Both are legitimate scientific terms.

They are however, being misused by the anti-GMO crowd.

[Archae]

14. What else is new?

[Beearewhyain]

11. Based on your quantum malfeasance

It is clear that you have failed to maximize homeostasis while simultaneously decentralizing neuro pathways which, obviously, leads to heightened macro-aggressive negative symbiosis. In other words your humours are out of balance; find leeches stat!


(Stat is a medical term so you know you can trust my medical advice)

15. Eventually, you will turn into a GMO/Human hybrid.

[Orrex]

16. I blame Jane Goodall.

[Archae]

17. She has lost all credibility.

18. She studies primates not GMO's right?

And her PhD (she never earned a BS or masters...) is in animal behavior not gmo's?

I can't believe people would latch onto her as if she actually knew what she was talking about. Its like taking a famous baker's opinion on the best way to build a nuclear plant.



I guess when a group is desperate they will cling to anything or anyone to hide the fact that 85+% of scientists who actually study the issue think they are nuts.

[Archae]

19. There are sometimes a scientist can actually know what he or she is talking about...

...outside their specialty.

Neil DeGrasse-Tyson is an astrophysicist, (I think he is,) and Bill Nye is an engineer.
And they are capable of relating a great deal of factual information on different sciences.

But when Linus Pauling, a nuclear physicist, tried his hand on nutrition, it was a disaster.

Likewise here with Jane Goodall, who studied chimpanzees, trying to sound like an authority on GMO's.

[Orrex]

20. Funny that they ridicule Nye and DeGrasse-Tyson for daring to speak outside of their fields

But Goodall and Suzuki are sacrosanct because they believe that GMOs are teh evil.

[LostOne4Ever]

21. Just seems like the only time scientists talk outside their field

And don't embarrass themselves is when they are agreeing with consensus.

The rest just seem to make jokes out of themselves like dr Hubble did when he tried to claim archaeopteryx was fake.

[Dr. Strange]

22. Could you post a gluten-free version of this thread?

I can't post in this one.

Thanks.
