  • Apologies for my crassness. Long day at work. I'm done.
  • Wow. Where do I begin with this one. So now you know the outcome of research before it's even done? That's it. You win. I'm out.
  • Fantastic logic there buddy. /s
  • Asides from some issues pointed out by samerzz16, the source of protein is also important. Egg yolks contain a large amount of cholesterol, and chicken has a non-trivial amount as well. If you have a history of high cholesterol in the family, smoke, are overweight, or don't exercise, I would limit egg yolk intake…
  • I do not need to open the Wall Street Journal. I am a researcher at such a company. I can assure you, whether you believe it or not, that myself and every single person I work with or have interacted with, genuinely wants to deliver a product that is beneficial to society.

  • Well, I suppose we are at an impasse. I am the glass half full, you are the glass half empty.

Generally speaking, drugs are commercialized with KNOWN side effects that must be made clear to the consumer. This is very different than side effects that do not get identified during clinical and…
  • You must have skipped over the last sentence where I say that making money and trying to do something good are not mutually exclusive.
  • On what basis? It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is reality. And it is quite far away from this...
  • You may have missed the part where I mentioned the rigorous vetting each product must go through before hitting the market. It is true, in some cases things go unnoticed before commercialization. This is most often seen with pharmaceuticals. Luckily crop protection isn't as susceptible for reasons beyond the scope of this…
  • Let's not get into this game of making outlandish claims and use apocalyptic imagery to scare people. Resident Evil is a movie, not real life. If you do not understand the science behind GMO products, that's okay. But what's not right is to spread misinformation just because you fear the unknown. Each product by Monsanto…
