[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't wait until we can look back and realize the silliness that is gluten-free (for non-celiacs) and the obsession with genetically modified/paleo. It takes humility to realize we weren't always right with our food choices in the past because we just didn't know enough. But so many people are CERTAIN that what they are doing today is RIGHT. PP, Marketing, yes![/quote] I agree with you about gluten free & paleo, but there is some science that GMO foods are responsible for the surge in food allergies. All organisms go through natural change and "modification" over time - whether you're talking about corn or human beings, the genetics do naturally evolve. But the fast pace of GMO foods compared with the extremely slow pace of genetic change/adaptation in humans, is too much to match, causing people to reject foods, and perceive them as dangerous. Allergies are basically the body's defense mechanism against things it perceives as dangerous. When the genetics of a apple or corn or whatever is manipulated so much, the body can reject it.[/quote] Do you have links to that "science"? Everything I've read says that concern about GMOs from a personal perspective - as opposed to a commercial or possibly environmental perspective - is misplaced. [/quote]
