Genetically Modified Genes remain inside you..read more

I'd love it if you'd share this post:

Genetically Modified Genes

 Genetically Modified Genes

This article on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) if frightening!   To think that Genetically Modified genes remain inside of us and there is no predictable way to know what they will do to our human genes!  This article should make everyone think twice about eating anything made with GMO’s.  I have highlighted what I thought was on importance but I could have highlighted the whole article.  Please click on the source at the bottom and read for yourself much more.

Functioning Genetically Modified Genes remain inside you

Unlike safety evaluations for drugs, there are no human clinical trials of GM foods. The only published human feeding experiment revealed that the genetic material inserted into GM soy transfers into bacteria living inside our intestines and continues to function.[39] This means that long after we stop eating GM foods, we may still have their GM proteins produced continuously inside us.

If the antibiotic gene inserted into most GM crops were to transfer, it could create super diseases, resistant to antibiotics.
If the gene that creates Bt-toxin in GM corn were to transfer, it might turn our intestinal bacteria into living pesticide factories.
Animal studies show that DNA in food can travel into organs throughout the body, even into the fetus.[40]

GM food supplement caused deadly epidemic

In the 1980s, a contaminated brand of a food supplement called L-tryptophan killed about 100 Americans and caused sickness and disability in another 5,000-10,000 people. The source of contaminants was almost certainly the genetic engineering process used in its production.[41] The disease took years to find and was almost overlooked. It was only identified because the symptoms were unique, acute, and fast-acting. If all three characteristics were not in place, the deadly GM supplement might never have been identified or removed.

If GM foods on the market are causing common diseases or if their effects appear only after long-term exposure, we may not be able to identify the source of the problem for decades, if at all. There is no monitoring of GMO-related illnesses and no long-term animal studies. Heavily invested biotech corporations are gambling with the health of our nation for their profit.

    i have been afraid of gmo’s for a long time and this has added to my disgust at companies that not only don’t care about anything but money, but would put generations of children at risk. i saw an article recently about how many government officials either are now or have been recently (financially) associated with monsanto….so i fear that it will be difficult to stop this… particularly because of labeling – we won’t even know if what we’re buying is gmo…

    How freaking scary is this? I have had digestive problems for about 7 years and assumed it was a side effect of having my gall bladder taken out but now my 8 year old is experiencing problems. I am definitely going to look more into GMO in our foods and see if that could be causing our problems. Thank you for sharing this and making me aware!

    A very very interesting article. I have previously read some things on GMO’s before. I Will definately pass this on to my brother and his family as they read up on all this all the time. All our foods should be labeled, we as a consumer have a right to know what we are putting into our bodies. I try and grow most of my vegetables and cook from scratch. To many unknown things in what we buy at the grocery stores. thanks for the info

    there’s a wonderful group on fb called ‘the peoples boycott’ that has a list of all sorts of companies to boycott for those reasons and more (slave labor and exploitation, unfair or unethical business practices, etc) and they also have a list of suggested companies you could choose to use instead 🙂

    One needs to be vigilant to avoid GMO, label don’t need to be added to packaged food, but you can be sure if it has soy or corn, it’s probably in it. Also meat that is not grass fed and organic probably was fed GMO’s. This is way scary and should be outlawed.

      Trish, and when people think soy is a healthy product! It is mostly GMO unless organic or noted on product. Yes Corn is almost all GMO…
      It is really scary but from what I hear the Supreme Court has been bought out and that’s why it’s difficult to get legislative laws regarding GMO’s passed.

    The concept of genetic modification isn’t the problem – as you point out, it’s the lack of standards or regulations in how modifications can be made and how the resulting products are tested and marketed that are the problem. The larger problem is the difficulty of changing testing and regulations to keep up with very rapidly changing technology – there is no motivation in the current system for companies to self-regulate in any meaningful way.

    I am very opposed to GMOs because I just don’t think there’s enough scientific research showing how they can (possibly negatively) affect our bodies. This kind of article makes me even more determined not to consume GMOs. It’s really hard to avoid them, though! My family used to eat about 90% organic (and the other 10% completely natural) because of a serious illness in our family. I was proud of us for accomplishing it – we networked and bought directly from local organic farmers, got to know our local health food stores very very well, ordered in bulk, grew our own garden, and absolutely never ate at restaurants – but it was incredibly time-consuming and expensive. Now that my family is free of illness and can relax our standards, I’m trying to find a good balance between eating naturally and loosening up a little.

    The frightening thing is that people don’t realized that the more popular processed foods are almost certain to have GMO’s in hem, and they haven’t been listed. I have been trying very hard in the past year to get rid of all processed foods in our diet…I can’t even remember the last time we had fast food, etc… It tends to be more expensive, but I have noticed that even when I am feeding all of us and there are 8-10 of around the table, we eat less when it is made from scratch, and doesn’t have any processed elements in it.. The chemicals make you eat more!!!! Good, wholesome food is just more satisfying 🙂 ( but time consuming!!!!)
