What a load of hogwash. This sounds a lot like the rantings of an evangelist doomsday prophet. This biased “boycott” is not going to do anyone any good. Show me the peer-reviewed studies.
These products have been released into the market are or about to - you wont find any peer group studies because they will call them “Secret” and hide the fact that they are based on GMO of produced by GMO organisms

[quote] “A 2011 study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found glyphosate residue on 90 percent of the soybean samples tested, but concluded that the levels were within acceptable limits. Other studies, including WHO’s recent report, have reached more alarming conclusions. Separate studies in Canada, Sweden, and the United States have found that people who work with herbicides containing glyphosate showed an increased risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.”

As for the Guardian? This is the paper that thinks Jeremy Corbyn can save the world!
As an aside CRISPR tdchnology is being used to investigate making bees that poison the varroa that parasitise them. Now that should be interesting
It is also being used for human genome editing to correct some lethal childhood diseases, on a very limited basis so far, but fascinating. Now humans can be GMOs.
