Research proves that there is no such thing as safe GMO food!
Nope. There is not a single mention of GMO food in the study. There is evidence that some plant miRNAs can cross into the circulation, and influence LDL cholesterol uptake by the liver cells and thus increases its plasma concentration. These miRNAs come from non-GMO plants. They are natural.

A friendly advice: buy only original Italian foods (NO OGM).

Combine the GMOs with Fluoride, Aspartame, HFCS, bleached flour, antibiotics in meats and milk, and the end results are.... well, take a look around.
I've been seeing more younger people develop diseases that use to afflict only the elderly. It's become the norm to see someone in their 20s with cancer, diabetes, auto immune diseases, many forms of arthritis, etc.

Yes, the miRNA's from natural plants are natural. And the miRNA from GMO is genetically modified!
Do you understand that now???

Hopefully nature can recover from the damage already done by using these crops in the real world.

The genes usually added (production of some insecticidal protein, or proteins offering insecticide / pesticide resistance, vitamin producing genes etc.) are NOT miRNA genes. This study is completely unrelated to current or planned GMO food.
GM crop has been produced by the incorporation of a gene that will express a miRNA molecule to knock-down expression of a host or pest gene (see Auer C, Frederick R. Crop improvement using small RNAs: applications and predictive ecological risk assessments. Trends in Biotechnology. Nov 2009; 27(11): 644-651), then the potential negative effect of ingesting this crop by an animal or human also should now also be considered. miRNA and siRNA molecules in the crop can inadvertently switch off (knock-down) expression of a gene system in the animal or human who has eaten it, resulting in ill health.
miRNA or siRNA molecules are prone to "off-target" effects; that is, they can bind to and knock-down mRNA that they were not designed to target! So the picture of outcomes can get very complex. It will be interesting to see if this study can be replicated by looking at other miRNA molecules in plant foods and their effect on animals who eat them.
Even more interesting would be to see if a GM crop engineered with a novel miRNA results in this molecule being taken up with measurable effects by the animal in a feeding trial. www.gmwatch.org...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered regulators of gene expression, and early studies have indicated that they have a role in the regulation of haematopoiesis, the immune response and inflammation. They bind the 3’UTR of target mRNAs and mainly prevent translation of the protein product.
Dysregulation of these molecules has been shown to be a hallmark of cancer and now investigators are examining their role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. miR-146 and miR-155 have been a particular focus for investigators, and these two miRNAs have been shown to be induced by proinflammatory stimuli such as interleukin 1, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
They have also been detected in synovial fibroblasts and rheumatoid synovial tissue. Both have multiple targets, with miR-146 inhibiting TLR signalling and miR-155 regulating Th1 cells and also, interestingly, positively regulating mRNA for TNFα. The potential of miRNAs for improving our understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and for developing potentially new treatments for these diseases, is substantial. ard.bmj.com...

Hi BurnTheShips.
Hasn't this figure (taking centre stage) been shown to be non other than chief

Very interesting photo, considering the alternative 'history' of Hitler!
(Google Greg Hallett and 'Hitler was a British Agent').

GMO obviously is a major trigger.
I think yes. GMO coupled with Glyphosate pesticides...
Its a dual portion of deadly toxins.

How long have we been eating these foods as a population, world-wide?....
Does modifying these foods cause them to be able to produce much more food than would normally be produced?
KEY POINTS
1.A 30-year long study comparing organic with conventional farming was carried out by the Rodale Institute in the USA
2.Organic farming produces bigger yields, and was superior in years of drought
3.Organic farming proved to be more profitable www.anh-europe.org...
not just the glyphosate ingredient in Roundup that is extremely poisonous, as much as it is this chemical's amplified toxicity in the presence of other additives in the formula. Polyoxyethyleneamine, for instance, a surfactant that facilitates glyphosate's absorption into cells, has been found to significantly increase Roundup's synergistic toxicity in humans www.24medica.com...

Dr. Putzai chose the foreign gene in a GM potato that he had worked with before and which produces an insecticidal protein that is harmless to mammals.
Three variations of potato were fed to three groups of rats: the plain potato, a potato injected with the insecticide, and a GM potato injected with the gene from the insecticide. The rats given the first two types of potato were fine. The rats given the GM potatoes had almost all their organs and their immune systems adversely affected after only 10 days.
Previously, rats that had been given 700 times the amount of insecticide found in the GM potatoes had not been affected, so Dr. Putzai concluded that GM foods need more safety studies.
Dr. Putzai had a brief moment of being in the spotlight after an interview on the air Aug. 10, 1998, but on Aug. 12, 1998, he was fired from his 35-year position and his team was disbanded
...you had better not go to sleep now, and realize just how large all of this IS.
