Title: "Compositional differences in soybeans on the market: glyphosate accumulates in Roundup Ready GM soybeans"

"Abstract
This article describes the nutrient and elemental composition, including residues of herbicides and pesticides, of 31 soybean batches from Iowa, USA. The soy samples were grouped into three different categories: i) genetically modified, glyphosate-tolerant soy (GM-soy); ii) unmodified soy cultivated using a conventional "chemical" cultivation regime; and iii) unmodified soy cultivated using an organic cultivation regime. Organic soybeans showed the healthiest nutritional profile with more sugars, such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose, significantly more total protein, zinc and less fibre than both conventional and GM-soy. Organic soybeans also contained less total saturated fat and total omega-6 fatty acids than both conventional and GM-soy. GM-soy contained high residues of glyphosate and AMPA (mean 3.3 and 5.7 mg/kg, respectively). Conventional and organic soybean batches contained none of these agrochemicals. Using 35 different nutritional and elemental variables to characterise each soy sample, we were able to discriminate GM, conventional and organic soybeans without exception, demonstrating "substantial non-equivalence" in compositional characteristics for �ready-to-market� soybeans."

"Highlights

•Glyphosate tolerant GM soybeans contain high residues of glyphosate and AMPA.
•Soybeans from different agricultural practices differ in nutritional quality.
•Organic soybeans showed a more healthy nutritional profile than other soybeans.
•Organic soy contained more sugars, protein and zinc, but less fibre and omega-6.
•This study rejects that GM soy is “substantially equivalent” to non-GM soybeans."

Seriously...are you just going to dig up 2-3 articles about your agenda per day to post here?

Nevermind this helps no gardener here. What gardener is on this forum wondering whether they should plant organic or GMO soy?

NO ONE.

You just want to circle-jerk about your Hot Topics worthy let's talk about GMOs and chemical agriculture in an organic forum stuff...especially since you're being called out on it.

The worst part is you're ill-advised and have ill knowledge of the subject and crutch on Google to counter any point made when you're not ignoring or dismissing facts brought up by others. Your lack of knowledge about the subject leads you on wild Google chases where you can't tell if something is legit information or even applies to what you think it's talking about. Combine that with your "I must always be right" thing you have going and it creates a disservice to science, common sense, and this board a lot more than it should.

Here's your activity in the past year on the Organic Forum...all of it...

I separated out the 4 on the bottom because they are actually pertaining to helping others with their gardens even though the "Corn meal" one is just you telling someone else to not trust one of their sources because of something you dug up on Google and the "Verticulum Wilt" one is you defining a "biocontrol" and telling them to use Google searches for more information.

You want to talk about agendas now? Propaganda?

By the way...Food Chemistry is an Elsevier journal and you signed an online pledge (which you were so proud of you posted it here to show it to us) to boycott them on a website that promotes AIDS denial, the power of water to cure disease, and flu vaccines causing cancer/heart disease/etc...because you want your name on that for some reason.

You can't even keep you hypocrisy in check. You should search Google for "hypocrisy" in case you need someone to tell you what it is.
