More toxins approved as food: FDA announces GMO cottonseeds will soon be “safe” for human consumption – NaturalNews.com
Gossypol - Wikipedia
The issue is if the plant seeds to be eaten actually contain gossypol in low amounts can cause permanent sterility, meaning no more babies, the birth rate in poor countries could drop or wherever the genetically modified cottonseed plants would be grown for food.
In the mid-1990s, the Brazilian pharmaceutical company Hebron announced plans to market a low-dose gossypol pill called Nofertil, but the pill never came to market. Its release was indefinitely postponed due to unacceptably high rates of permanent infertility.[citation needed] 5% to 25% of the men remained azoospermic up to a year after stopping treatment.[6]
Researchers have suggested gossypol might make a good noninvasive alternative to surgical vasectomy.[7]
So right there is one of those sustainability, lower the population possibilities.
One incentive is this here,
Professor Keerti Rathore said: “In 2014, cotton growers produced about 47 million tons of cotton seeds. Those seeds contained more protein than the 1.27 trillion eggs produced globally that same year!”
Even Wikipedia says it like this about gossypol in the seeds for the GMO plants,
Toxicity[edit]
Food and animal agricultural industries must manage cotton-derivative product levels to avoid toxicity. For example, only ruminant microflora can digest gossypol, and then only to a certain level, and cottonseed oil must be refined. Genetically engineered cotton plants that contain little gossypol in the seed may still contain the compound in the stems and leaves.[8]
