When the Science Sucks, You Can Have it Both Ways!

-
Dear Howard Vleiger, which one is it?

Which one is correct?

You have stood by your (probably bogus) data from the "Stunning Corn Comparison" on Moms Across America.  Here GMO corn is compared to conventional corn-- but the GMO corn, by your data, has no nutritional value and is full of formaldehyde and glyphosate.  Everyone in the anti-GM world stands by these data as valid (even though they are adulterated soil data-- we don't do those tests on biological matter).

Now, you are second author on the "GM is bad for pig stomachs" study (Carman et al, 2013, Journal of Something Obscure).  In this study it is stated in Materials and Methods on page 41:

"The GM soy and corn used in this study have been determined to be compositionally and substantially equivalent to non-GM varieties of soy and corn ... which indicates that there should be no phenotypical variation between the GM and non-GM varieties used in this study that could influence the outcomes measured in this study."

Good 'Ol Howard somehow wants it both ways, depending on the results he wants the "study" to convey.  Stark inconsistencies between reports are suspicious.

Wait a minute! How can GM corn be full of formaldehyde and glyphosate, have no carbon in it and 1% Brix (none of which are close to reality) and be called "compositionally and substantially equivalent" to conventional corn?

Seems like one of your claims, or perhaps both, are not so reliable.  I'm going to go as far to say that overlooking such inconsistencies is not just potential evidence of unethical scientific behavior, it you guys can't even keep your own poor data straight.

Sorry to be so harsh, but this is getting crazy. It is annoying that those opposed to biotechnology don't notice, and don't care, but critical evaluation of science is not their strong suit.

Keep up the stunning work.  Your credibility, and the credibility of the fools that cling to it, will certainly be reflected in the future of this conversation.

UPDATE:  Earth Open Source is now backing away from the "Stunning Corn Comparison" saying "it is not a published study"!!!!!!  Get ready for Moms Across America to take that website down!

Film Review: The Need to Grow

The recurring ads on Facebook pulled at me to watch The Need to Grow , a documentary film about food and farming.  As someone connected with these areas professionally and personally, I thought it would be worth a watch.  Here is a review. First the good things.  The film is nicely shot and well written.  The majority of the work builds on themes such as nutritious diets healthy soils, and efficient energy. Those are the central underlying values of the film, and ones that I wholly endorse.  However, where the film falls apart is in its approaches to achieve those end points.  Two of the "experts" recruited for the film are none other than Jeffrey Smith and Vandana Shiva, two people with little training in science or farming (and no, Vandana Shiva is not a physicist as the film claims).  The narrator is actress Rosario Dawson, who early in the film makes the proclamation, "Agriculture is the most destructive human activity on the planet." It is clear where t

Food Babe Visits My University

It was 6:30 pm in the lab and I was just thinking about the last things I'd need to get done before I could go home.  Typical night.  Usually I'm riding home about 7 pm, but an email popped up asking me if I was going to go watch the Food Babe.  A click on a link would take me to the note on a UF Dean for Students Good Food Revolution Events website.  Vani Hari would be spreading her corrupt message of bogus science and abject food terrorism here at the University of Florida. Oh joy. There's something that dies inside when you are a faculty member that works hard to teach about food, farming and science, and your own university brings in a crackpot to unravel all of the information you have brought to students. She might have started from honest roots.  Her story says she was duped by an organic yogurt stand (join the club) into buying taro toppings that were filled with artificial, non-organic colors.  She realized that she could use social media to coalesce

Shame on Pediatrics. Rejecting Scientist's Comments

-
 A lot has been said about the journal Pediatrics December 2023 Clinical Report on "Using GMOs on Children". The poor scholarship and citation bias are alarming, and the bias against safe technology is clear.  When I wrote to editor-in-chief Dr. Lewis First, he indicated that I was invited to submit a response to the article that would be posted below the article on its website. I submitted my response, and it was not published on the site. My guess is that it illuminated the bankruptcies of the article in a manner that ran counter to the authors', editor's and journal's narrative.  So I'll publish my comment here.  Dear Pediatrics Readership,  The article by Abrams et al. represents a stunning example of how misinformation spreads- even through a credible conduit. Pediatrics is a respected journal, so when a paper implies a technology is dangerous, physicians and the general public take note. That’s good. But if the message runs counter to the scientific con
