Dr. Evan Skowronski, a friend of bees and a foe of pathogens, offered this
opinion for the group via email in response to my recent post. The emphasis
is his, not mine:
"It MAY be possible to develop a method to discriminate between and quantify
GMO vs wild type pollen...but it would require a significant investment not
only in R&D but the all the regulatory steps to make a standardized testing
method (ISO or ANSI)...only to be redone EVERY time a new GMO shows up. Not
sure there is any there-there in terms of safety, and almost certainly
impossible to keep up testing development and standardization with GMO
roll-outs."
So, when one of the editors of the book "Emerging and Endemic Pathogens:
Advances in Surveillance, Detection and Identification (NATO Science for
Peace and Security Series A: Chemistry and Biology)" says that it "MAY be
possible", that means that it is highly likely that it will prove to be
impossible at any price.
