> nobody ever got ill from GMOs.

See this 1996 study: Identification of a Brazil-nut allergen in transgenic soybeans. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8594427

So, those soybeans were nearly as allergenic as Brazil nuts? What's your point?

Something containing soya isn't labled as containing brazil nuts. Since parent is replying to someone who says "no one ever got ill from eating a GMO" it seems a fair enough, and obvious, point.

This wasn't a case of food becoming toxic due to an unforeseen chemistry stemming from genetic tinkering. They put the albumin in the bean. Albumin has a well-known effect on those sensitive to it. Nothing surprising here. They could just as well have cooked the beans with some albumin.

This is also obvious, to tell the truth.
