The GE stuff is banned in organic cheese here, but in NAm you'll find
various kinds of "vegetarian" cheese, incl. "Swiss cheese" (Emmentaler)
which practically has the same top Lys/Arg ratio as Gruyère.

Do you have a link on that?  I can't find such a statement on their site.

Excess arginine makes people susceptible to virus infections.  The question
of immunity to the disease arises later (after the virus got a hold).

Even if one assumes that smallpox viruses are not impressed by a high
Lysine/Arginine ratio, other common viruses such as various herpes and
influenza varieties clearly are.  So the claim of "genius crop" is gone...

The arginine/virus connection is a general biochemical fact, not just a
personal problem.  You can't dismiss the fact that all humans need to
breathe oxygen as a personal problem just because some have asthma...

...because most people don't know about the arginine connection...
and care little about health issues in general.  Big Pharma is
laughing all the way to the bank...
