    This week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved a new kind of cotton that's genetically engineered so the seeds are safe to eat.https://n.pr/2RWI8WZ

        I have no desire to knowingly eat ANY genetically modified food & have never said to myself "gee, i'd love to have me some cotton seeds but dang, they're toxic".

        That’s too bad seeing as how GMO’s have put a huge dent in world hunger.

        Do you have links to info proving that? So far what I've seen only suggests that GMO's "may" help but no statistics that actually show that happening.

        Can you point out where, specifically, that study indicates that GMOs "have put a huge dent in world hunger"? I am again seeing it as GMOs "may" help but nothing conclusive. You're free to have your opinion but I'll keep mine as is. No GMOs for me, at least not knowlingly.

        Sweet potatoes GMO'd themselves 8000 years ago and we're just fine. We're only copying a technique found in nature. MOVE.

        Seeds contain massive amounts of the anti nutrient phytic acid and are too high in omega 6’s which cause inflammation. Cottonseed oil (as well as canola oil) should NOT be consumed at all. Can’t imagine the seeds being beneficial at all.

        Yes it’s wonderful. I’ve been cured of a very painful disease for the past 13 years.... mainstream medicine just had barbituates and other pain killers to offer. Blessings on your own journey.
