Are you kidding? Are you seriously saying that eating Botulinum toxin (a protein) is the same as eating any other protein? Your gut can't tell the difference between milk, peanut and wheat proteins? Prion diseases are just "disconnected and then broken down into nitrogen bases, sugars and phosphates in the gut?"
No I was speaking of the difference between eating one sequence of codons vs. another - not about any proteins which don´t have any of RNA or DNA sequences found in the much larger molecules that give the instructions for making these different proteins.
If your go to the link of my quote, you will see that the digestions of then main food groups (and specifically proteins) are separately discussed from the section I quoted on the digestion of DNA and RNA containing large molecular compounds. That is where the difference between GM and Non-GM foods is found.
I suspect based on your use of the word "codeon" for codon you haven't done a lot of looking into this area.
No I have read a reasonable amount on DNA and RNA as at times, not now, have owned companies* very active in RNA interference molecule developments; I am however lazy so don´t look up spellings I don´t remember. There are many words whose spellings I am not sure of and I am some what dyslexic also, so not noticing my typing and spelling errors. Thanks for the correction.
Again my comments have ONLY been about the digestion of large RNA & DNA containing molecules - not starches, not proteins, not sugars, etc. I made the mistake of thinking that since that is the thread´s subject and that was clearly the only thing I quoted, it would be clear I was speaking of a very limited set of foods – those the thread is focused on.

*For example from my old file notes on compaines I followed half a decade ago or owned:
MDRNA, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRNA) announced today positive in vivo efficacy data on its proprietary Unlocked Nucleic Acid (UNA) siRNAs in animal models, demonstrating up to 90% knockdown of ApoB. …
Silence Therapeutics (SLN on London SX at 29.50Lbs?) has developed novel, proprietary short interfering RNA (“siRNA”) molecules, AtuRNAi, which provide a number of advantages over conventional siRNA molecules as they show increased stability against nuclease degradation …
Anylam´s study “GEMINI” has 43 patients treated 5 days, starting 2 days before infection with virus by heavy load on nasal tissue, (42 on placebo) showed that ALN-RSV01 has clear anti-viral activity in humans, as it had in non-primates in 2004, primates in 2006...

I found this new field fascinating with great potential and got into one company back in 2004 and it was taken over a few years later by one of the majors with ~150% profit for me. The main limitation of iRNA and siRNA has turned out to be the delivery problem.
