Genetically modified food are injected with genes extracted from bacteria which acts as a insecticide to make them resistant to pest attacks.
This becomes part of the plant so it is impossible to wash it off.
A new study done by Scientists from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, have detected the insecticidal protein, Cry1Ab, circulating in the blood of people. The Toxin was also detected in pregnant woman and in fetal blood, indicating that it could pass on to the next generation.
Earlier studies have found the toxin in livestock that were fed GM corn.
Corporations have spend billions to create GM food, and made claims that it is safe to consume. The problem here is that GM crops are new – and because the consequences of GM on humans will only be reveals in time, they can claim that it is safe. And of course they make money out of it when people eat it.
GM brinjal was going to be released for commercial production(also containing the Cry1Ab toxin) in 2009. An Expert committee (EC-I) concluded that adequate safety tests had been performed, stating that "the benefits of Bt brinjal event EE-I developed by M/s Mahyco far outweigh the perceived and projected risks", and advised the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) to recommend commercialization of the Bt brinjal.[3]
After long protest it has been put on hold. A study has found after feeding rats GM bt brinjal for 90 days they experienced " organ and system damage and had ovaries at half their normal weight, enlarged spleens with white blood cell counts at 35 to 40 per cent higher than normal with elevated eosinophils, indicating immune function changes
When the company ‘Mahyco presented the results to the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) they either suppressed these facts or misrepresented them. Based on this data, the GEAC approved the commercial release of Bt brinjal
We have a BIG problem. What did we expect will happen when we eat food injected with chemicals? These have long term effects on the human body ad is not sufficiently researched and tested, because those who produce these crops wants to make MONEY.
In this quest for money we use all kinds of chemicals in order to produce ‘’superior’’ crops that will as a result make more sales. Regardless of the consequences. Life has no say in this. Its all about the Money.
We cannot stop this poisoning of the human and animals that eat GM in a world based on money. Because that will always come first, the need to acquire more money.
We have to consider an alternative world monetary system – The Equal Money Equal Life System. This system would eliminate the need to produce food fast that look pretty so that more would buy it so that others can become rich while half the world dies. There will be no need to poison humans.
There is already enough food being produces to feed the whole planet. The years and resources spent in creating CM crops can then be redirected into providing solutions to permanently end world hunger – which will only take 3 years.
Time to find solutions that supports Life. And remember – you are what you eat…
