Gene-Edited Tomatoes Might Boost Vitamin D Levels–That Doesn't Mean They're Safe

Let's not give that site more publicity. See the last few times it was posted:

Oh boy, that is a site written by a bunch of absolute cranks.

You only need to look at the titles of the treat of their articles to know you shouldn’t waste your time on this one.

What specifically is the proposed mechanism by which these tomatoes would be harmful to health long-term?

Nothing ever happens in isolation. Thinking that the only change is more vit D is reductionst. There could be billions of other interactions changed across the plant due to a "simple gene change for vit D".

I remember one mice or rat study which shown that feeding GMO grains to mice cause liver or kidney issues, while non-GMO did not.

What about the GMO grains caused them to be harmful?

these are knockout mutants, that means genetic function is reduced.
