supplements as platforms for the industry and not disclosing ties to same. i don't know if that's the case here or not, but their track record is less than spectacular. and i would submit to you that the FDA and EPA studies have been less than strenuous, particularly in the case of the FDA which doesn't actually conduct it's own tests but simply *reviews the tests of the producer/ manufacturer. and there are many 'exprt food scientists' that question the safety of transgenic crops now in use. score of 'em in fact.

* New Research on the Impact of GMOs on Health
SOIL ASSOCIATION, GM briefing
June 19, 2006

Although some Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have been approved and marketed for several years, there was no body of scientific research on their impact on the biology of living organisms. This is partly because animal feeding trials are not required in the current safety approval process for GMOs in the EU or USA. Only now is a body of evidence starting to emerge from a small number of animal feeding trials into the health effects and progress in the new science of epigenetics. This indicates that genetic engineering is much more unpredictable and risky than traditional breeding.
