Timm,
Lots of great minds are working on this problem. Penn state seems to be leading the way, and here in NY Cornell is involved.
I'm not certain of a "fix" at this point, as the determination of the cause is as yet undefined. If it really derives from genetically altered crops (that have been under cultivation for years), the remedy will take a very long time.
That "genie" is already out of the bottle and into the environment.
It amazes me at all the crops that are effected. Heck, I never even thought of canola oil. Think of how many foodstuffs use that.
Ponder how that will impact all the "fast foods".
Yup! Einstein got it right again.
