    it would be exceedingly handy and supportive if you could POST the link to the trials or any other actual info you base this on please,W.HO is doing the trial? where? more detail would be a good thing.

    in the Discussion part right at the end..
    see this.
    We constructed originally an efficient system for the expression of a scorpion toxin AaIT coding sequence in E.coli and carried out three different bioassays to study the toxicity of this recombinant protein. Interestingly, the median lethal concentration (LC50) for the three assays differed by more than two orders of magnitude (Tab 1 and 2, Fig 3). Comparing with an LC50 of 0.13 muM observed in cultured insect cells and an LC50 of 0.7mM observed in the contact insecticidal effect assay, low toxicity with an LC50 of 18.4 muM was recorded in artificial diet incorporation assay in which the toxin was consumed by the testing insect through feeding. We suggested that this might be a result of toxin degradation by digestion. This raised an important question regarding agricultural application of the toxin. According to our calculation, 18.4 muM toxin spread on the leaf surface equaled to 0.04% toxin protein expressed in the leaves (suppose total leaf protein content is 3.0%). This was comparable to the level previously obtained in insect resistant transgenic plants which was about 0.05-0.1%24, 25, 26. Even with a toxin as potent as AaIT, high level expression was still imperative for transgenic plants to show decent insect resistance. In the cytotoxicity assay, the toxin showed higher toxicity with an LC50 of 0.13 muM, which was comparable to the cytotoxicity of Wt-hTNFa to the HEp-2 cells27.
    so to make sure it kills the bugs it has to fairly high expression IN the plant.
    dermal absorbtion via spray would be a seemingly safer option rather then IN the damn plants., and human cell testing would seem to be somewhat incomplete.!
    what about humans digesting sprayed leaf matter on our gut?
    let alone eating the GMspliced vegies.
    sheesh.

    CRAZINESS! This has got to stop. Also skeptics this is in the MSM just click the links.

    Great work going GMO free! It makes a major difference in mental clarity and overall health in a very short amount of time. Thanks for tweeting this out, also — we can defeat this.

  5. Truly do you blame corporations?
    God give a day to worship. Genesis 1 (For the once who belief in Bible)
    Satan imposes a false Day.
    God say you should not eat from the good and evil tree because you will die.
    Satan say God knows that if you eat you will become like God and you will not die.
    God describe the food that Man should eat.
    And Satan wants to produce food that will make you sick Satan has used this corp. (it’s not Monsanto fault, it is on Satan Hans)
    God wants man to live healthy.
    Satan wants humanity to die.
    It’s our fault for not blast our government in protesting, who permit these blasphemy. Our government it’s who should we focused on to stop these crimes.
    ANTHONY GUCCIARDI
    I think you are doing the right thing and I am a grate supporter but by attacking the corporation we are not succeeding, as we should attack the main head of our nation for betray USA citizens, so the head of the nation has to be thrown off of office.
    The one who signed Monsanto protection and all of those Senators that betray USA Citizens.
    He is not good for the people of our great nation. He signed.

  6. Some of you may have noticed that corn used to have but three kernels. Now each bushel has hundreds. That took thousands of years. Science isn’t wearing those suits because they know “scorpion venom” is dangerous, they are wearing them because they don’t know. Its called safety.

    1. Earth Angel says:

      For thousands of years people organically grew their food and obviously proliferated to the point we are at today. It is NUTS to introduce these unnatural toxins into any food supply whatsoever. The criminals doing this know exactly what they are doing to us- they MUST be STOPPED at all costs- There is nothing safe about any of this being done by Monsanto and ‘Big Agra’.

    You were home schooled right?

    Published in nature journal? It’s good science. End of story. Every single article in that journal is peer reviewed before submission just so that people like me can make that statement without hesitation.

    I refuse to eat it! I mean come on, why just why.
