A Growing Concern

It appears the Union of Concerned Scientists is up to no good... again.

Compliments of my friends at agbioworld.org -

The newest report "is the group's latest attempt to frighten and mislead consumers about plant-made pharmaceuticals and plant-made industrial products.

The group insinuates that the food supply already may be "contaminated with drugs and other chemicals from pharma crops," though it fails to provide any facts to back up this claim.

In fact, there has not been a single documented case of a human consuming food that contains plant-made pharmaceutical or industrial chemical components. The organization's dramatic rhetoric - including the statement, "Nobody wants drugs in their cornflakes" - has no basis in fact or reputable science.
