Lyk my soos lekker ou pseudowetenskap:
Bakterie-karweiers

Ja klink maar so, en dan bring hulle die groot skrik woord in van GM.
Wat my alteid pla van die mense was so groot statements maak is dat hulle nie dink aan die 7 Bil. mense wat gevoer moet word nie.
En klaar sien ons hoe duur kos begin raak. Ek wonder of hulle nog sal omgee oor GM as hulle honger lui.
Hoe is enige plantasie vandag nie GM nie? Hierdie mense het eintlik 'n probleem met 'n proefbuis, nie menslike inmenging met plante se evolusie nie.
Ditsem. Soos Michael Specter sê: “‘GM foods’ just means moving some genes around in a more directed way.” Verder is dit ook onnosel om sonder enige bewyse of rede te beweer dat ’n sekere geen wat oukei is in ’n vis skielik gevaarlik raak vir mense sodra dit in ’n tamatie oorgeplant word.
Pseudowetenskap? Kanse is uitstekend, veral siende dat dr. Badenhorst duidelik ’n persoonlike belangstelling het daarin om mense na hom toe te lok.

Die koerant het toe darem ook 'n skeptiese opinie gepubliseer:

Mooi so, maar soos ons nou al goed weet, maak sulke deeglik bevestigde feite en die gesag van vakdeskundiges ongelukkig veels te dikwels geensins enige verskil aan sekere mense se oortuigings nie.

Now here’s something interesting:
"Researchers with the European Food Safety Authority [url=http://independentsciencenews.org/commentaries/regulators-discover-a-hidden-viral-gene-in-commercial-gmo-crops/]discovered variants of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S[/url] in the most widely harvested varieties of genetically-modified crops, including Monsanto's RoundupReady Soy and Maze. [url=http://www.es.landesbioscience.com/journals/gmcrops/article/21406/?nocache=1759778285]According to the researchers, Podevin and du Jardin[/url], the particular 'Gene VI' is responsible for a number of possible consequences that could affect human health, including inhibition of RNA silencing and production of proteins with known toxicity. The EFSA is endorsing 'retrospective risk assessment' of CaMV promoter and its Gene VI sequences — in an attempt to give it a clean bill of health. It is unknown if the presence of the hidden viral genes were the result of laboratory contamination or a possible recombinant product of the resultant organism. There are serious implications for the production of GMO for foodstuffs, given either possibility."
