For many years now, those in the alternative health movement have been warning the public about the dangers of genetically modified foods. Meanwhile, consumer awareness advocates have consistently campaigned for honest labeling on all G.M. (genetically modified / genetically engineered) foods. However, groups like the F.D.A., and some individuals who trust the bio-technology industry, have mocked us for our purported "irrational fears" over bio-engineering.
Now, in an independent study, consumption of Monsanto's genetically engineered foods has been shown to cause organ failure ― not exactly a minor side-effect. If this matter were not so serious, then it would be tempting to just mock our adversaries, who have been so comfortable with genetically modified foods all along.
Genetically engineered foods are now present in an estimated 80% of processed foods in the U.S., without any labeling whatsoever. In fact, the United States is one of the few civilized countries in the world that does not require labeling for G.M. foods, and we have routinely warned our readers about the dangers of soy, canola, cottonseed, and corn. These "foods" are almost always genetically engineered (unless they are "organic"). Make special note that there is no "organic" canola, because canola was invented in 1976 through genetic engineering, and equally there is no "organic" soy, because soy in its organic form is poisonous. Therefore, we strongly recommend boycotting companies that pretend to sell "organic canola" or "organic soy". Reporting them will unfortunately accomplish nothing, because the U.S. Government is helping these companies.
The Huffington Post reported that the F.D.A. had approved Monsanto's genetically engineered produce using only Monsanto's own 90-day study. Monsanto had limited their study to just 90 days, despite the fact that most chronic problems will never be evident in that length of time, which was of course, Monsanto's intent. In addition, they flatly dismissed all of their own data which was linked to the sex of the test subjects, because sex traits are typically closely linked to genetic disorders. This was another example of F.D.A. science, which is the unique version that is designed solely to benefit sales.
We are expected to believe that It is all coincidental that Monsanto dismissed only the unwanted data that they needed to, in order to get the result that they wanted all along: specifically the conclusion that their genetically engineered foods are safe for consumption. There was no independent 3rd-party verification, or testing; until recently. The researchers of the new independent study came to this conclusion:
"Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function, the two major diet detoxification organs, but in detail differed with each GM type. In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted. As there normally exists sex differences in liver and kidney metabolism, the highly statistically significant disturbances in the function of these organs, seen between male and female rats, cannot be dismissed as biologically insignificant as has been proposed by others. We therefore conclude that our data strongly suggests that these GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity....These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown."
While we now know some of the potential dangers of G.M. foods, we still have no idea what results we will see in 20 years from now, or what genetic malformations will be seen in our grandchildren. In fact, when more miscellaneous symptoms appear in the population at large, we will have no way of knowing how they appeared, because genetically engineered foods remain unlabeled. The American people (and their unborn grandchildren) are the unwilling test subjects of Monsanto's genetic engineering. Our research has found that the lack of consumer labeling, and the overall deception about our foods is intentional, as you may see in some of the articles cited below. Our food regulators are apparently trusting those who gave us dioxins and Agent Orange, and who then presented fraudulent studies to prove their safety (like they are still doing). This time, they are feeding their poisoned concoctions to our children.
