Read the news post above if you haven't. NO tests of any chemical introduced into the food supply is tested synergistically... it would be near impossible to do so. Science and experiments, tests etc. have been and are fundamentally flawed. There are very few tests that I feel may come close to allowing for a real world result.

A recent test with monkeys was one that perked my interest when given the same # of calories per day, the group that ate refined conventional oils (some might have been GMO) like soy, corn, and canola were about 8lbs heavier than the ones that ate healthy oils and fats. This was the only difference in diet thus a synergistic response.

I have argued with doctors for years that a calorie IS NOT a calorie... it is the WRONG measure for the energy output of food; it falls on deaf ears. The same is true for the 0 calorie food aspertame... how come people get fat when they eat this 0 calorie food? Because it messes with the ability of the liver to process fats, carbohydrates and proteins and moves it into fat storage to get it out of the way as it is too busy trying to save the person from this poison. The person ends up starving while getting fat.
