Default Re: Coping: A Warning About Frankenfoods/ Our Prion Eyes

i dont know...

prions are one thing; Bt is another entire wall of wax. sure, it might be digested and absorbed into the human stomach, but its certainly not on the scale of a prion.

prions cannot be destroyed by cooking at high temperatures or freezing and can remain in the environment for very long periods of time. theyre also self-replicating, which adds another fascinating dimension to this unique class of protein-like viruses.

i dont know of any information or research that would lead me to believe that the Bt toxin would act like a prion.

that said, i avoid all GE foods and eat organic whenever possible.
