North West IA/western AZ | We need someone to go thru and debunk this article https://foodandplanet.com/2013/09/05/dirtier-than-the-dirty-dozen-wh... I'm too old to read all this crap or I would do it. Maybe one of the young college kids could do a paper on it or better yet, a PH-D dissertation.
"Here are a few things that we know about GMOs:
•GMO foods contain proteins not found in natural foods that trigger allergic reactions. In fact soy allergies skyrocketed by 50% in the UK after GMO soy was introduced1.
•GMO foods may also make you allergic to other foods. Mice fed genetically modified peas started reacting to a variety of other foods1.
•The Bt toxin produced by GMO corn acts as a pesticide by puncturing holes in the stomachs of insects. It is now known to kill human kidney cells2.
•This same Bt toxin produced in every cell of GMO corn has been found in the majority of pregnant women’s blood tested3.
•GMO corn contains startling levels of formaldehyde4. Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer.
•The only human study on GMO foods showed that genetically modified DNA could transfer to human gut bacteria and continue to function1. That’s right. Our gut bacteria can become genetically modified. We do not know if this is ever reversible.
•GMO foods have higher levels of pesticide and herbicide residues, especially the most commonly used herbicide, Roundup®5.
•Roundup® cannot be washed off the food. It is sprayed on the fields and taken up into the edible parts of the plants.
•Roundup® kills beneficial gut bacteria in humans6.
•Roundup® may be linked with inflammatory bowel, obesity, depression, cancer, and even autism5.
I'm getting depressed thinking about all the work they put into tearing down our profession.. | |
