Drug companies often withhold information about the possible long-term side effects of their drugs. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if Monsanto did the same. For example, why would they submit a study to the FDA showing the development of superweeds? That would be a long term side effect that Monsanto doesn't have to look at or acknowledge.


I think you need to prove this statement for it is totally incorrect. My daughter is a manager over clinical trials for new drugs and you have no idea of the intensity to detail it requires nor the acute attention to every detail given at every level. Shameful that people can just babble any accusation they wish about most anything with no accountability required to do so. They have no basis on which to base anything, no experience or training in these areas, nothing, except for an uneducated opinion.

People working and giving every bit of themselves to help humanity and they have to put up with comments like this. Disgusting!

I would encourage anyone that cheers for Okinawa and other countries over our own country to please send us a postcard from there after they relocate.

Maybe they will solve this problem for us:

Oranges are presently under siege from a new disease called Citrus Greening deemed to be the most serious threat in history and for which there is currently no cure, who will solve this problem?
