First of all I would like to express my apologies to the group for failing to adhere to policies in my first post. I am new at this is my only excuse, it will not happen again. Below is the important part of the the the copyrighted material from RT.com.
A leaked study examining genetically-modified corn reveals that the lab-made alternative to organic crops contains a startling level of toxic chemicals.
An anti-GMO website has posted the results of an education-based consulting companys comparison of corn types, and the results reveal that genetically modified foods may be more hazardous than once thought.
According to the analysis, GMO corn tested by Profit Pro contains a number of elements absent from traditional cord, including chlorides, formaldehyde and glyphosate. While those elements dont appear naturally in corn, they were present in GMO samples to the tune of 60 ppm, 200pm and 13 ppm, respectively.

Formaldehyde has been linked to various cancers by the Centers for Disease Control.

(2 posts)The "leaked study" from Profit Pro is actually JUST AN AD to sell fertilizer, and a pitiful scientific fraud! The data is from a soil report, and has nothing to do with nutrition. The data is also *clearly* (poorly) falsified. For example, numbers that should add up to 100%, do not. There are quantities for which there exists no scientific method to measure, like "Anaerobic Biology" in parts per million. It's a hoax.

(52 posts)I am not a chemist. I have to admit that, like most Americans, I have to rely on reports from what I would hope to be skilled researchers in responsible independent labs. Companies like Monsanto and Con Agra have what seems to be the ability to mute any independent research that is being done, if any. For the most part I have grown in my own fields what my family consumes, and one thing that I have found to be true is... it tastes better

(2 posts)They have clearly been mislead by the "independent, outsourced, major food company" who gave them this bogus report.
No corn could have less than 3% organic matter only 60 ppm Carbon, but dirt can. Not to mention Cation Exchange Capacity, ERGS, Brix, pH, Base Saturation, and ratio of aerobic to anaerobic organisms are all tests performed on soil.
