That is what we are really talking about here, a gene in a chromosome in the cotton. Our skin is not capable of breaking down chromosomes and extracting only certain genes from them. GM cotton appears to me to be much safer to wear than non-GM cotton that has had pesticides sprayed onto the fibers. Also remember that organic doesn't mean chemical free, it means that only the chemicals that are approved for organic usage can be sprayed onto the plant and fibers. You can find a list of approved organic chemicals on the USDA website.<br />Suzie Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539510126917839033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790673087448713871.post-31269619291586421322013-01-29T17:10:18.155-08:002013-01-29T17:10:18.155-08:00Thanks for reading.

I am not going to try to write a scientific paper here to explain the methods used when the boll worm resistance or Round Up tolerance are incorporated into the cotton genome. However, there are many places for that scientific information. I have found that the following link has a good explanation and not so complicated to read. Hope this helps. https://utextension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/W129.pdf<br />Suzie Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539510126917839033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790673087448713871.post-75847671162255363672013-01-29T16:33:12.238-08:002013-01-29T16:33:12.238-08:00I am interested in learning more about cotton grow...I am interested in learning more about cotton grown especially in the USA. What is a GMO cotton seed altered with? A built in pesticide that can not be washed out? I try to buy organic cotton for clothing, especially baby clothes. But I have concern for cotton being genetically modified in a way that isn't good for a consumer to wear especially during the hot summer when one perspires & your skin is more likely to absorb something built in to the cotton fiber. I would like more data if you can help answer this concern.
