Another example of why I don't buy all the claims that everything is safe,
and forward progress has no downside:

"GM-soy contained high residues of glyphosate and AMPA (mean 3.3 and
5.7mg/kg, respectively). Conventional and organic soybean batches contained
none of these agrochemicals. Using 35 different nutritional and elemental
variables to characterise each soy sample, we were able to discriminate GM,
conventional and organic soybeans without exception, demonstrating
"substantial non-equivalence" in compositional characteristics for
'ready-to-market' soybeans."

["AMPA" is a metabolite of glyphosate, aminomethylphosphonic acid]

So, if the GM soybeans contain measureable levels of herbicide, what might
the pollen contain?  And what might those levels of an herbicide like
glyphosate do to the whole fermentation process that results in "bee bread"?

"Compositional differences in soybeans on the market: Glyphosate accumulates
in Roundup Ready GM soybeans."
