Monsanto's Weight Loss Soy Bean

Scientists funded by Monsanto are developing a modified soy bean that will make you lose weight. I can't imagine anything going wrong with this:

"The peptides fight inflammation by blocking key enzymes in the body's immune response," said the scientist.

Blocking enzymes (proteins) and monkeying with the immune system, eh? Robyn O'Brien mentioned to me via email:

...the fake proteins won’t be digestable by the system. And as they run through, they’ll flush out every nutrient in your body with it!

Great. A recipe for skinny -- but VERY SICK -- people. But as long as they develop a pill to counteract the side effects, and another pill to counteract the side effects of the first pill...
