Did you read this part? "The problem is proving GMOs are bad is that they work in very complex systems and self replicated and mutate, so testing the hypothesis of them being safe is nearly impossible." Now you want me to produce papers I can do that. You want me to produce papers that are not clearly manipulated by interest groups, sorry I have not found any good ones you would care about. However remember the null hypothesis here.

I would ask you. Do you think it is a good idea to eat things that we don't understand what it does to our health? Before you say GMOs are just the planets we normally eat. Think of how methanol and ethanol are nearly identical but one is much more deadly, and most science is designed to error on the side of caution. Though it does not prove anything, I think it at least supports not eating GMOs till we have more evidence.

As for your complaint about politics messing with science I do agree this is a real problem. Please note that while in my first post I did mention some political issues, as they are real problems. They are irrelevant to the key question on if GMOs are safe. Do not lump me in with politically corrupted science.

Look at the news with GMO wheat in Japan. Think about how banning one of the big 4 globe foods from the largest producer is a real hassle, you do not do it lightly. Also Japan's originally policy was not to use GMOs till they had more data, they were just playing it safe as they know self replicating systems are very hard to stop once they start, though originally they were very hopeful and eager like they are with most new technology. In fact there economy was gearing up to use GMOs, they wanted them. Then after they did lots of tests they concluded it was very bad and that shaped their strong anti-GMOs policy. Not the other way around.

Please display your time-machine if you are going to ignore temporal causality. Along with any relevant material on how to build it and how it works.
