Hi Mildred,
        I am not a scientist, but have read SEVERAL articles on this
subject.  The alarm concerns persons who may be allergic a specific
tropical nut.  I'm not sure  which one, sorry, but will look it up.
        When the splicing is done, the allergen properties carry over into
the new altered product.  As soy and soy based products are in just about
everything, the unwary consumer could get violently ill and never know why.
These genetically altered products could enter the market (have entered?)
and never be identified as altered.  This is what the uproar is about.
        Now we as CD sufferers can certainly identify with that!
