(39,909 posts)It does NOT occur naturally in Corn, Corn Byproducts, or Corn Pollen.
We don't care for Sweet Corn,
and generally don't plant corn at all,
but when we do, we plant small quantities of Heirloom varieties
for our own experimentation, and to check viability of the seed stock.
We also keep Honey Bees,
and won't take the chance of killing them to help out Monsanto.
We refuse to even feed them Corn Syrup,
and avoid eating it ourselves.
The Science is still OUT on GM products.
The research has never been done,
and the products haven't been long term field tested.
GM Products have been approved by our USDA and FDA (both owned by Monsanto)
under the Looks Close Enough to Me (Grandfather) provision that lets them escape having to prove the safety of their inventions.
It may turn out in 20 or 30 years that these products are absolutely harmless, but until then we (and our Bees) are going to stay away from them.
BTW: We haven't had an incidence of Colony Collapse.
Our Bees seem to like living here.
We do too.
