GMOs and Leukemia, Debunkulated
Over the last several months there have been many people claiming this link between transgenic crops and Leukemia. Let's think about this conclusion and the research it is based on. The conclusion that Bt is related to leukemia, or any human disorder, is just not shown in those data. ( excerpted from my answer on GMOanswers.com ) What do you think would happen if a 200lb human being was force fed, with a tube down the throat into the stomach, pure bacterial spores equivalent to half a roll of nickels, and then tested for effects 24h later? My guess is that you’d see a screaming immune response, massive response from gut flora, and probably some effects on physiology that would be reflected in the blood. Agreed? If you agree, then the results of this hypothetical “experiment” are the same as those performed on mice in the Mezzomo study. In short, the work by Mezzomo et al., (J. Hematology and Thromboembolic Disease) takes Bt spore crystals (dried down Bacillis
