I don't. Thats why I labelled it "beliefs". If I've got a choice between 1) Carrot 2) Carrot flavoured goo then I'm not going to look for a peer reviewed journal supporting the view that the carrot is better.
I've simply drawn a line in the sand and decided that give uncertainty I'll place my faith in the carrot rather than whatever a profit seeking enterprise engineered for me. We all make decisions in the face of uncertainty & this is one of those judgement calls.
I genuinely believe science can do better than nature can (i.e. engineered functional foods)...but right now looking at the supermarket...its not there for me to buy so I will continue buying nature.
