It looks more like we aren't what we eat. Until more research comes along and switches that around! :D

This is a very interesting research! Does this mean anything for the GMO debate?

Not particularly. With GMO's people are usually concerned with the proteins that are artificially expressed, or the changes that are induced to natural protein expression states. IMO those concerns are valid in some cases, and silly in others (its all dependent on exactly what aspect of the organism was changed). I don't think I have read anyone discussing concerns over the DNA itself, however knowing that our bodies really don't seem to uptake any of the foreign DNA would certainly be good to present to someone who did have such a concern. As any editing to the DNA wouldn't really matter (with regards to our health) because its not being taken in to begin with.

Thanks! As a layman in these matters, I can say that it's easy to mix up some of these terms and assume they're the same, sometimes. Thanks for clarifying :)

This is what I am here for :) Science is so full of jargon!

I may not always know the answer to a scientific question (as science is broad) but I am always happy to try to help clarify anything you come across that you are unsure of.

It looks more like we are exactly what we don't crap out.
