Organic Foods vs Hybrids!
Best kept secret of the pharmaceutical companies and food
industry, since past 12 to 13 years is that you and your
children have been eating Genetically Modified Organisms,
uncommonly known as GMOs or transgenic or genetically engineered
food! A layman hardly understands the repercussions of these
genetically modified food and the havoc it can cause in one's
system.
The FDA is very much aware of this fact but has done little or
almost nothing to protect everybody from the aftermath this
billion dollar industry may cause. Since early 1990's scientists
have urged the food industry and the FDA, to carry out
conclusive studies about the threats that GMOs can pose. Until
it is proved that no harm is being done to living beings and the
environment and particularly causing no severe health risk, to
young children, consumption of such foods can be disaster prone.
But unfortunately till date, the FDA has blatantly ignored the
warnings and is allowing big corporation to use all of us as
guinea pigs while the wallets of the business heads in the
biotechnology industry are getting obscenely fat!
A new breed of dog or a new breed of roses are produced
successfully since ages, by cross breeding or cross pollination.
But the difference here is that traditional cross breeding has
been done using genes from similar plants or animals to create a
new breed. Genetically modified foods use organisms, plants or
living beings which are not similar, such as inserting a fish
gene into a tomato. Using nature in an unnatural way, carrying
out mutations of various genes without proper or informed study
can be a potential cause of severe health hazards.
Numerous studies conducted in the field of genetics have shown
that whenever a new gene has been introduced in a plant, the new
gene can disrupt the functions of the plants native genes. It
can result into altered or mutated DNA. Sequence of DNA can be
deleted, truncated or the gene may be turned on or off, and the
protein coded from such a gene in the native plant that is
otherwise harmless has the potential to become very toxic. In a
case study done on rats which were fed GM potatoes, had smaller
hearts, livers, kidneys, testicles and brain, a damaged immune
system and a change in the white blood cells. Several rats
developed lesions in the stomach. But the most frightening fact
is the speed with which these changes start to develop.
In another study conducted on white mice, it was discovered
that the females gained weight significantly . Their liver and
kidneys were damaged. On the other hand the effect in the males
was exactly opposite. They grew to only half the size of the
females.
A farmer from Germany ,named Glockner grew GM corn on his farm.
He fed the GM corn to the cows he owned and alarmingly within a
short period of time, a dozen cows died. The remaining cows
developed a mysterious disease and had to be killed. He was left
with no choice but to stop growing this corn.
Some farmers rearing pigs noticed that the conception rate in
females had dropped dramatically and some of the males had
became sterile after eating GM corn.
There is also a potential of creating allergens. A study was
done on the bean and the pea plant that were not otherwise
allergenic. The genes from the bean were inserted into the pea,
creating an allergenic plant. If a person who is allergic to
peanuts consumes a GM plant which is not of peanut, but has
peanut DNA inserted into it, then the person is bound to have an
allergic reaction. It is almost impossible to determine in which
person what will trigger a reaction as gene from which plant or
organism or living being is introduced in the GM foods is hard
to track.
According to Health Wellness and Happiness, Nigel Hawkes,
Science Editor for the London Times had written an article about
the experiment conducted on ladybugs which had eaten aphids that
had dined on genetically modified potatoes. The result showed
that the lady bugs life span was cut by 50 % and they laid fewer
eggs even though they did not directly eat the GM potatoes. A
similar outcome was noticed in the Monarch butterfly. Any
guesses as to why the honey bee is disappearing?
The research laboratories of the biotech industry did their own
testing. But this was done on mature rats and mice. It is a well
versed fact and the biotech industry is also familiar with the
fact that the results would be different when studies are
conducted on the young and adult mice. As the young utilize
nutrients in much higher quantity to build the body as it is
their growing phase, and during this phase of accelerated growth
if new allergens are introduced, then potential liver and kidney
or brain damage is possible.
Because of the potential disruption and genetic alterations in
the DNA of this foods, you may think that GMOs would be soon
banned. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Money and power is
the goal of this industry and we are just minions of the biotech
industry which control and mint money, no matter what damage is
being done to the society and all of mankind.
Another terrifying fact is that one of the GMO company has
produced what they call terminator seeds. Terminator seeds are
produced by taking native seeds and making them sterile.
The obvious objective of producing such seeds can be that
farmers will be left with no choice and will have to eventually
buy only GMO seeds from the companies. Imagine the implications!
Dr. John Fagan an award winning molecular biologist, mentioned,
that amongst all technologies, genetic engineering is the most
dangerous because of the threat it poses of unexpected harmful
side effects which cannot be reversed or corrected and will in
turn harm all future generations.
A survey conducted showed that 9 out of 10 people would not
purchase or dare to eat genetically modified foods.
This fact is very well known by the FDA and the food industry
and hence they are always going to hide the fact that you are
already eating it. Unless you are eating only organically grown
food, any kind of processed food that contains corn or soy
product, canola oil and some rice, tomato sauces, it is almost
certain that you are eating genetically modified foods.
Initially when GMOs were introduced we were made to believe
that GMO crops were being bred to produce crops with higher
resistance to insect invasion,. This crops could survive harsh
weather conditions, changing climatic condition,, floods,
droughts and higher yield of the crops would eventually end
starvation in the world . If only this was the real reason but
it sounds too good to be true.
Several excellent books are available which expose the
masterminds behind this GMOs and the individuals and companies
that are quietly working in the background gaining unprecedented
strength and power while filling their enormous coffers at the
cost of the ignorant society. More about organic healths at
