The recent New York Times article in the July 25, 2008 issue talks about Europe and their lack of endorsement of cloned animals and their milk for human consumption. They maintain that there is inadequate studies, too many questions unanswered, and will not permit their import into Europe yet:
The European Food Safety Authority pulled back on Thursday from giving milk and meat from cloned animals a clean bill of health, making it less likely that such products could reach store shelves in Europe anytime soon.
Dr. Gardner’s comments: I couldn’t agree with Europe more. I am very concerned about the lack of long-term studies in this whole field of genetically modified food, cloning, and food safety. Give me grass-fed and free-range animals anyday over concentration camp conditions of breeding and raising and inadequately studied cloned animals.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:

The closer things are to the way nature intended the better! At least that’s how I tend to think!

Tam, Great thinking–I couldn’t agree with you more.
