that product was the food supplement of essential amino acid l-tryptophan which has been derived from genetically altered bacteria. although it met the standards for from a logical. . d, it contained minute amounts of an. he's. unlike the conventionally produced supplements, one or more of its accidental additions with highly toxic even at extremely low levels. because none of the tryptophan substances had the link to disease and disruptions within the organisms, there were legitimate reasons to suspect that the engineering process had induced the formation of the extraordinary toxic substance that cause the calamity. consequently it was blameless. most people know of this tragedy are under the illusion that the technology has been completely exonerated. worse, ge proponents routinely claim that none of the products have been linked. that includes most professionals and public health with whom i've spoken, completely oblivious to the fact that the first indigestible product caused a major epidemic right here in the united states. it's important to note that the toxic incident has seri

it is important to note the toxic tryptophan incident has serious implications for all foods produced through genetic engineering. those bacteria have not been altered with foreign genes. rather, they were merely endowed with extra copies of some of their own and were not engineered to produce anything but a beneficial substance they ordinarily make. the forced overproduction of this normally benign substance apparently put abnormal stress on those organisms that led to the creation of an unintended and highly toxic byproduct, and almost every genetically engineered food organism is being compelled to overproduce one or another chemical and for that reason alone poses an unusual risk. the standard claim that the safety of ge foods thoroughly established by reliable testing, do not describe scrutiny either especially considering many well conducted studies published in peer-reviewed journals detected harm to the animals that consume ge food. a systematic review of the toxicological studies in ge foods then was self published in a peer-reviewed journal concluded the results of most of t
