Data indicate that flTom significantly exceeded the wild type tomatoes in decreasing CRP levels, and therefore cardiovascular and type 2- diabetes risks.

[Gmofoodforthought.com] GMO Food For Thought: December 2005 Archives: While green groups and GMO wary European Union governments would like to see very low thresholds of genetically modified organisms permitted for traditional farming, and preferably zero for the organic sector, according to the article, both Commission and biotechnology industry experts say this is impossible to achieve. The best that can be hoped for, the article states, would be to aim for 0.1 percent of genetically modified content, known as the “detection level,” which scientists say is the minimum genetically modified organism presence that they can identify.
