Are Your Medications Safe?

25. You're conflating two different things, modifying your original complaint.

I've been in a great many of those threads, and the anti-science propaganda is indeed quite thick. Over-reliance on "internet authorities" and scare-tactic meme-photos are hallmarks of anti-science, for instance. Linking to NaturalNews is anti-science. Summarily lumping HFCS and CCD and GMO crops into one category--treating them all as equal evidence of Monsanto's evil--is anti-science.

In short, if you can't produce the evidence for peer review, and if you reject calls to do so, you are by anti-science definition.

Many studies have demonstrated the safety of GMO foods, for instance, independent of Monsanto. These studies are long-term and are peer-reviewed, so trusting in the conclusions of those studies has nothing to do with trusting Monsanto or the FDA.

However, questioning the need for labels is not at all the same as demanding that you "trust Monsanto and/or the FDA," and it's intellectually dishonest to equate the two.
