GMO Food Toxins Linked To Anemia And Other Blood Disorders


www.medicalda ily.com

Plants are often genetically modified to make a molecule called endotoxin. This toxin keeps pests from attacking a plant and eating it before it's ready to harvest. However, in a new study where mice were fed endotoxin, researchers found that even the smallest, and once deemed safe, doses of the toxin appeared to cause harmful immune reactions.

The evidence is stacking up.

Another new study, this time the poisons in GMO known as Bt (Cry toxins) - even
at the lowest levels have been found to damage and toxify human
blood cells, damage bone marrow, and degenerate organs

Published in the open-access, peer-reviewed Journal of Hematology & Thromboembolic
Diseases, findings reveal that GMOs indeed damage and toxify human blood cells, leading to
Anemia, and Luekemia, and Organ damage.


Researchers looked at immune reactions in the exposed mice after one, three, and seven days. They found that after one day, the mouse's blood contained many inflammation-inducing molecules. These inflammatory molecules were not localized to anywhere in particular, indicating that the blood was rejecting the toxin and the immune system was sending out molecules to mark it for immune attack. By the third day, the level of inflammatory agents in the blood had significantly increased, further indicating that the toxin was creating a negative effect in the mice, even at a small dose


Study is here:

So were again left asking, as the scientific community continues to find that GMO is harmful
for consumption; Why the large Biotech corporations get a free ride, permission to manufacture
this toxic garbage and pass if off as safe, and meanwhile the USDA denies the millions of
people who want GMO labeling?

GM food has been in the market since the 1990s...yet there are not widespread cases of anemia(something that is regularly tested for in most blood tests).

Something is wrong with the study, because we'd all be getting anemia if it were true.

Plus there are grammar errors in the article, and I don't think they know what an endotoxin really is.

I think GM food is the cause of the increasing number of children who have mental disorders such as autism down syndrome etc.

Nope, we already know thats the vaccines!

GMO might as well be ALIEN food. It is NOT natural.

Imagine the amount of quarantine and testing a specimen from an alien planet would need to go through, yet this garbage is allowed full access to our stomachs

Except that there is nothing specific to GMOs in that study. Bt toxins have been used since the 1960's and are certified for organic growing.
Nothing about humans either. It was a mouse study.

Lots of reports of toxicity and actual damage to animals in scientific studies caused by GM foods.

Judy Carmen's "study" demonstrated nothing.
www.abovetopsecret.com...

The second one is not a study at all, just an article by Seralini who is not well known for the quality of his studies when he does do them.

Cry proteins, or Cry toxins...insect-killing agents purposely engineered into many GM crops,
by way of Gene pyramiding used by Monsanto. In which they would hotly debate you,
as they are not found in nature in the state or the method used by Monsanto...
If you tried to use their patented method, or, seeds blew into your organic farm you
would find out just how quickly they are specific to Monsanto, and GMO.




Bt toxins have been used since the 1960's and are certified for organic growing.


Not in a transgenic form, such as a Cry toxin...Gene pyramiding - Cry toxins
are not found in nature, they are created in a lab.




While Bt toxin does appear naturally in the environment, it does not normally occur in conjunction with soil, insects and plant surfaces





Nothing about humans either. It was a mouse study.


I guess you did not read any of the articles I posted.


alkali-solubilized Bt spore-crystals caused in vitro hemolysis in cell lines of rat, mouse, sheep, horse, and human erythrocytes and suggested that the plasma membrane of susceptible cells (erythrocytes, in this case) may be the primary target for these toxins.” - See more at: www.thedailysheeple.com...

Not in a transgenic form, such as a Cry toxin. Not the same at all.
You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? That's what happens when you skim an article looking for keywords. They are the same toxins produced by the bacteria. The variants used in the study came from the bacteria, not from GMO plants. The same toxins used by organic and non-GMO farming.

I read the study, I stay away from sensationalist interpretations of studies. Here is what you said:

findings reveal that GMOs indeed damage and toxify human blood cells, leading to
Anemia, and Luekemia, and Organ damage.

Now, show me where in the study it says that.

Sorry phage, its you who has taken on some evil cause, as evident of your sudden
blind devotion to poisonous Genetically Engineered Frankenfood.

Its you who is using the same ignorant talking points over and again in every thread,
refusing to look at real science. One could imagine you are using USDA or FDA
talking points.

Of you had read the study, it goes into detail.
Here, let me explain it so that you can understand.


genetically modified organism (GMO) and all subsequent identical clones resulting from a transformation process are called collectively a transformation event. If more than one gene from another organism has been transferred, the created GMO has stacked genes (or stacked traits), and is called a gene stacked event.

en.wikipedia.org...



I read the study, I stay away from sensationalist interpretations of studies.


Who says the study and its interpretations are sensationalist? You?

Who appoved Genteticall Engineered food as safe for human consumption anyways.

Who is even declaring it safe to eat???

No. It's an interest in facts and I've had it for a long time.

Says someone who didn't read the study.



Who says the study and its interpretations are sensationalist? You?

No. The articles about the study are. The study makes no such dramatic claims.

So... you're just replying with an ad hominem attack?
It would have been so much better if you'd actually addressed some of the points that he put forward, and set forth some kind of logical reply backed up with facts.

Phages points still stand.
- There is nothing specific to GMO's about the Bt toxin
- The Bt toxin found in nature was the one used in the study
- its also in Organic food
- This specific issue doesnt prove anything about GMO food in general
- the claim of Anemia, and Luekemia, and Organ damage isnt found in the journal article.

Oh, cute. So your left to retorts, since you have no facts to back up your blind claims.

Once agian, I will ask you who declared Genetically Engineered food to be safe?

Who claims its safe for human consumption. You?

Oh, hi Alfe/Phage

Well I asked the question, who has declared Genetically Modified crops safe
for human consumption. Maybe you would like to answer?

I said nothing negative, its a general consensus that Genetically Engineered
organisms are evil.



Put another way, if independent studies such as this one had been required to be conducted prior to the approval of GM crops with Bt traits, such crops never would have been approved in the first place, as it would have been abundantly evident from the start that they are not safe for human consumption

What claims.
The fact is that the study which is the subject of those articles is about Bt toxins in general?
The fact that the study used mice?


Once agian, I will ask you who declared Genetically Engineered food to be safe?
The USDA, the EPA, the EFSA, among others.


Who claims its safe for human consumption. You?
I don't have any reason to think that approved crops are not safe.

I think that I'd like to cut through the scientific craparamma and just say that common sense dictates that you shouldn't eat food that produces it's own poison in order to kill insects.

Talking points indeed. S&F

Then you'd better stay away from plants. Potatoes, celery, zucchini...they all do it.
