2,4-D RoundUp

Gene flow

Lateral gene transfer

Genetic pollution

The bacterial transgenes can spread from transgenic crops to soil bacteria

Lateral gene transfer

Human volunteers fed engineered soybeans showed that engineered DNA resist digestion and is detectable in the intestine. There is lateral gene transfer to gut bacteria.

Genetic pollution

Substantial EquivalenceLateral gene transfer

In 1996 the toxicologists of the FDA predicted that engineered foods would contain rogue proteins that could be toxic, or cause allergies, nutritional deficiencies, and other diseases.

Journal of Proteome Research

43 proteins in engineered corn plants were significantly disrupted, compared to non GE plants

Lateral gene transfer

Engineered corn, soybean and canola all have variant proteins, different from what the biotech Industry reports.
