82. You listed a garbage study by ideologues.

That has been totally rejected as crap by the scientific community. It was retracted by the journal that originally published it. It failed peer review.

That's why I have no patience for people who trot out that failed rubbish, yet again. No doubt we'll see it again in yet another DU GMO thread. I will ridicule it then, too. It deserves no better.

If people cannot make an argument against genetic modification without stooping to such sleazy and unscientific tactics, I have no sympathy for them. Certainly they deserve none.

Yet the scientific consensus supporting the safety of genetic modification remains beyond dispute. (Made up controversies notwithstanding.)
