health experts, what was the reason behind the ban? haven't we eaten gmos already?

The ban on BT cotton is what surprised me the most. Do we eat cotton?

The idea that GMO's cause cancers is a bit far fetched. Eating preserved/can foods is where the problem is. Wale watu wa canned beans, tomato paste...think twice.

Hii ni Ruto mwenyewe amesukuma. I have never agreed with his views on matters GMO. Na tutazidi kuipinga. It is not as if adopting GMOs will solve our food problems.

That is not GMO. Don't confuse that with hybrids. A hybrid is where you get two varieties with different favourable characteristics and crossbreed to create the hybrid.

If you were to save the seed from the hybrid variety you buy from the shop, the second generation will not be pure. You will notice a lower harvest. That is why you are adviced not to reuse the seed.

Do we eat cotton?

Is cottonseed oil healthy?

Cottonseed oil is a commonly used vegetable oil that’s derived from the seeds of cotton plants. A whole cotton seed contains about 15 to 20 percent oil.

Cottonseed oil must be refined to remove gossypol. This naturally occurring toxin gives the oil its yellow color and protects the plant from insects. Unrefined cottonseed oil is sometimes used as a pesticide. This toxin has also been linked to infertility and liver damage.

Cottonseed oil is used in cooking and is also used as a home remedy for certain skin conditions and ailments. Like olive oil, cottonseed oil is high in polyunsaturated fat which can help lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and increase HDL (“good” cholesterol). But, it’s also high in saturated fat, which has the opposite effect on cholesterol and increases the risk of heart disease.
