I dont mean to pop the old GMO bubble.

before tucking in to this wonderful genetically modified food (GMO).

Bayer must be spending small fortune paying all their influencers to promote this shite.

who in their right kind eats this? Its not food.

For me its the same as GMO weed (Skunk) here in the UK. Who would smoke that shit. Its 20 times stronger than your basic common all garden hashish.

In my time as a substance misuse worker, methadone dispenser and care-coordinator I saw the ever increasing referals to Psychiatric units because of skunk.

Young people unaware that they are smoking GM weed and unable to manage the strength of skunk.

I have absolutely no problem with people getting high on weed that grows wild, get as stoned as you like. A plant grown by nature, you cant complain.

an excellent study from 2022:

Evaluation of adverse effects/events of genetically modified food consumption: a systematic review of animal and human studies

https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-0...

Results:

One crossover trial in humans and 203 animal studies from 179 articles met the inclusion criteria.

The study quality was all assessed as being unclear or having a high risk of bias.

Minor illnesses were reported in the human trial. Among the 204 studies, 59.46% of adverse events (22 of 37) were serious adverse events from 16 animal studies (7.84%). No significant differences were found in the adverse event reporting rates either between industry and government funding (χ2 = 2.286, P = 0.131), industry and non-industry funding (χ2 = 1.761, P = 0.185) or funded and non-funded articles (χ2 = 0.491, P = 0.483). We finally identified 21 GM food-related adverse events involving 7 GM events (NK603 × MON810 maize, GTS 40-3-2 soybean, NK603 maize, MON863 maize, MON810 maize, MON863 × MON810 × NK603 maize and GM Shanyou 63 rice), which had all been on regulatory approval in some countries/regions.
