"Researchers with the European Food Safety Authority discovered variants of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S in the most widely harvested varieties of genetically-modified crops, including Monsanto's RoundupReady Soy and Maze. According to the researchers, Podevin and du Jardin, the particular 'Gene VI' is responsible for a number of possible consequences that could affect human health, including inhibition of RNA silencing and production of proteins with known toxicity. The EFSA is endorsing 'retrospective risk assessment' of CaMV promoter and its Gene VI sequences — in an attempt to give it a clean bill of health. It is unknown if the presence of the hidden viral genes were the result of laboratory contamination or a possible recombinant product of the resultant organism. There are serious implications for the production of GMO for foodstuffs, given either possibility."

If this is true, and the presence of the virus is not a result of other sources of contamination, then it may be possible that GM companies like Monsanto are producing, and releasing, foodstuffs that are inimical to human consumption ... in other words not good for us.

In which case what I said concerning consuming same on the 10th January may be incorrect.

I'll keep tracking this puppy to see where it leads.
