What does a torn meniscus have to do with Genetically Modified foods?


Question:
My moms doctor said she couldnt eat GM foods because she has a torn meniscus (in her knee), but I dont see the corrollation. Any ideas?

Answers:
there is none! A torn meniscus is an injury to the cartilidge in the knee. I had the same injury about a year ago. I was told to take huge doses of glucosamine and chondroitin to rebuild it, but not a word about GM foods. I would agree that it is bad to eat genetically modified foods, but it has nothing to do with a knee injury.

hmmmm maybe there is something in GM foods that effects the regrowth of the cartilidge. I would love to know if there is!

Other Answers:
Not a clue. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. We have scads of patients that have torn various portions of joints, including the different menisci, and diet (other than losing weight in some cases) is never mentioned as part of the therapy. I'd say it's just a personal peccadillo of the doctor and hasn't got much to do with the injury.
