I like and trust most of what Dr. Merc has to say, but Im a bit unclear on what he means by "hybrid" foods.Seedless grapes are thousands of years old and can be grown by the vine alone.He seems ot be implying that seedless grapes are GMO because they are "hybrid."In fact the exact origin of these grapes are not known for sure, nor could any anomalous mutation in nature neccessarily be pinned down to one event. There may in fact be GMO seedless grapes but they arent GMO because they are seedless, your seeded grapes would be just as likely be GMO.

If someone has some insight or can intelligently disagree please enlighten us.

Just curious, while I avoid soy products as much as I can, I got into the habit a couple years ago of supplementing with SOY LECITHIN. I take one 1000mg gelcap in the evening with my multivitamin and 2x Krill caps.

Is this form of soy also "not recommended", and is there a better alternative?
