Monsanto seeks OK for low-fat soybean

The soybean industry is seeking government approval of a genetically modified soybean it says will produce oil lower in saturated fat, offer consumers a healthier alternative to foods containing trans fats and increase demand for growers’ crops.

Demand for soybean oil has dropped sharply since 2005, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began requiring labels to list levels of trans fats, which have been linked to coronary heart disease. Vegetable oil does not naturally contain trans fats, but when hydrogen is added to make it suitable for use in the food industry, trans fats are created.

BUENOS AIRES -(Dow Jones)- Germany’sBayer AG (BAYN.XE, BAYRY) has received approval for its strain of genetically modified soybeans in Argentina, clearing the way for sales to one of the world’s top soy producers.

Argentina approved the Liberty Link soybean technology, which involves transgenic seeds resistant to the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium, according to the company.

Bayer CropScience is now moving to obtain approval for seeds with multiple transgenic traits, generally a formality in Argentina, which is one of the world’s leading supporters and producers of genetically modified agricultural goods. Liberty Link will be combined with stacked traits and launched in Argentina “in the forthcoming years,” the company said in a statement.

Argentina is the world’s leading exporter of soyoil and meal, and ranks third behind the U.S. and Brazil in soybean exports.

  1. You know what really catches my eye on this one. Without looking it up how many of you know enough about the company to comment on them. Further more for anyone who is going to reply I want you to post your BMI.Whats that you ask..

    Body Mass Index

    Thats how much of your body is made up of fat. I dont want anyone to get offended so im going to switch courses effective NOW, but isnt being healthy a good thing?

    When you have the proper diet of 60% carbs 30% protein and 10% healthy fats.. im sure the product offered by this company would be a great cost effective and efficient way to get that 10% in.

    Afterall those with HIGH BMI’s number one excuse is its so expensive to eat healthy.

    CASE CLOSED

  2. HOW can you tell when you’re getting old? When you have Dry Dreams and Wet Farts! (Father Methane) (db)

    • When you start to dream about smoking, instead of women.

  3. WE should never trust Monsanto ever ever again. They had their opportunities and totally screwed them up. Now screw off Monsanto — you are a curse to exports. Nobody wants any of your products.
    Take your Royal financing and shove it up your ass. Your are an engineered genocide disease.

    • The concept of a predator crop plant is fairly easy. One would breed, engineer or synthesize a plant that is resistant to an unknown fungi and deliver that fungi to Evergreen, the CIA chem-trailers, for distribution. The normal varieties die and the new variety survives. Inadvertently, batts or bees start to die….. oops, back to the drawing board. Or you could get the chem-trailer to spay metals that alter the PH and you design varieties that are modified for the PH and resistant to those metals — again market monopoly is the goals, even if through criminal means. Should the CIA be involved in this bastardizing of the ecosystem. Each day their must be nearly a thousand planes that take to the sky spraying god knows what and for what multiple purposes. But be assured Monsanto will be in there like a dirty shirt, helping to dominate mankind. It is to bad that corporations and government-agents see citizens as the enemy, instead of the boss.

      • Due to the revolving doors between big corporations and government agencies — the corporations, big-agro, might be calling the raids on smaller operations. Do you want Monsanto telling farmers what to do or else. The federal agencies are strewn with such conflicts of interest in the revolving door model of communist capitalism in the USSA

  4. If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

  5. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

  6. Monsanto is endevering to take over our food supply and I believe we should tell them to fuck off. By ANY means.

  7. Monsanto is a culture of death….and they love it!

  8. Soy beans suck , and so does Mountsatano …

    But Mountsatano sucks cosmogonally ( as in monumental / stupendously … )

    P.S. To an unfathomable degree …

  9. stupid soy. im sick of seeing it everywhere. oh look at the nice field, oh, nope, its soy. they didnt used to grow all this soy which i think they mainly use as a cheap filler. regular soy is bad enough, now its gmo. soy does have phytoestrogens. and its poison.

  10. “MONSANTO” can be an Acronym for: (1)”Modifiers Of Natural Seeds Abetting National Tyranical
    Occultists” (2)”Monster Occultists Narcotizing Seeds Against Natures True Originality” (3)”Making
    Original Natural Seeds Adulterated Neurotoxic Tyranical Oppressants” (4)”Manipulators Of Natural
    Seeds Advocating Nutritional Tyranical Order”. MONSANTO IS A FACILITATOR FOR THE FASCIST
    CRIMINAL GLOBALISTS WHO WANT A NEW WORLD “ODOR” SYSTEM! THEY SHOULD BE MODIFIED!
    LOL! (db)

    • UNIBOMMER NOW MORE THAN EVER! WHERES TED WHEN YOU NEED HIM! MCB

  11. The entire executive management of monsatano should be loaded onto space shuttles and dropped off on the planet mars or the headquarters neutron bombed. Get these MFs off planet earth!

  12. Monsanto should be given the OK for nothing more that haveing to explain to criminal courts why they are trying to POISON the entire food chain before every officer and scientist that has every worked for that coprorate entity and the pieces of shit in government that have allowed their garbage to be promulgated throughout the food chain are PUBLICALLY EXECUTED BY CRUCIFIXTION as it is still the most horrible and humiliating form of execution that the human race has invented…besides that it is VERY old school and old school punushments would be poetic justice to a company that is trying to re-write the genetic code of the planet

    • The French are more courages than us Americans…they just burn the farmers fields that grow Monsanto crap…..and the French were right about the war in Iraq.

  13. What part of surrender and be permanently removed from existence don’t the fake government monsanto terrorists understand? The tyrants from the fraudulent governments keep parading around in everyone’s faces like they are legit while no one but their tyrant partners and enemies recognize their right to exist. Tyranny is tyranny ,whether its tyrant’s helping tyrants or tyrants fighting tyrants, the majority of the population (consensus reality) has unrecognized all tyrants in government and everywhere else and order the tyrants to surrender immediately to be permanently removed from accessing victims. Tyrants and tyranny are proven failures ,cruel and useless to anyone but other tyrants.

  14. 1.) They do not have the right to play russian roulette with life…
    2.) Those who do this is mega-coperation that do not care about life. they only care about short-term-profite.
    3.) Poke your finger into the all seeing eye is a good thing.

    • Finger …no no no no, I’d rather drop my fly…pull out my member….and empty a painfully full bladder into the ALL SEEING EYE… THAT’D BE A GOOD THING

  15. They are crooks and should be held accountable!!

  16. I may have the last non GMO soy beans on the planet. MCB

    • Monsanto means Holy Shit in latin, so we know we can trust their testing procedures.

      • May be; my saint
        not my god, that would: De Deus…

      • Your a RETARD. There is nothing Holy about dung.

        • Actually , cow dung is holy …

          It’s antiseptic , and the goddess of fortune Laksmi ( that’s … money … )
          resides ( also ) in cow dung …

          That’s why it’s an offense to take a leak on cow dung …
