Inserting BT toxins into plants makes them insecticidal. Organic farmers use BT bacterial topically, but the BT toxin rinses off. Nobody has tested dietary BT toxin. There is no reason to assume systemic BT toxin is safe.
The same applies to numerous other compounds. Each needs to be tested individually. Safety of one tells you nothing about others.
Breeding varieties of edible plants gives you small variations on what they both had.
Most GMOs are much worse. Tolerance of Roundup exposes us to large amounts of Roundup, lately discovered carcinogenic. Nowadays most oats and chickpeas are coated with Roundup, because they are sprayed before harvest to speed drying. Not GMOs, but a problem.
I believe this was being debunked throughout this thread. The usual exaggeration and hyperbole. Instead of 'most', replace with 'some', 'little' or 'none'.
And again, all modern useful garden plants depend upon a serendipitous/random mutation in the past that introduced new genes into the line, duplicated genes for useful growth patterns, or hopped genes to where they do entirely new things for the plant. At random.
So really, none of that above was real science, but instead more careless Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt being thrown about.
