Genetically-Modified ‘Foods’ = Disturbing Test Results…
Here’s a rather disturbing bit of research from master health educator Wayne Green, PhD…(from his excellent work, The Secret Guide To Health)
“It’s interesting that the first independent, non-industry sponsored study of the effect of (genetically-modified) foods on animals was made public…Arpaud Pusztai, the researcher at Rowett Research in Aberdeen, Scotland, reported his findings on British TV…
He reported that rats fed gene modified potatoes had substantial organ damage, a thickening of the small intestine, and poor brain development. The result was a public furor…
Rowett’s director Philip James quickly fired Pusztai, said the research didn’t exist, broke up his research team, seized the data, and stopped six other similar projects. It then came out that Monsanto, a leading U.S. biotech firm, had given Rowett Institute a $224,000 grant…
Lancet, the British Medical Journal, published Pusztai’s peer-reviewed paper supporting the research…
What about the FDA?…Their stated view is that biotech engineered foods are about the SAME as any other foods and thus are not required to be tested before being put on the market…70% of our processed foods…” are now genetically modified.
And Green collected this easily verifiable data in 2003! I’m afraid to look around the internet to determine what the percentage of GMO foods is today, in processed…’foods.’ But I know that I’m definitely NOT going to eat something that gives rats ‘poor brain development,’ and ‘substantial organ damage’ according to peer-reviewed Brit Medical Research. Even my local Fred Meyer Grocer here in Oregon has an organic produce section—which I use—if I can’t make it to the health food store. I suggest anyone who wants truly clean produce to either, one, grow your own, or two, buy ONLY certified organics. You’ll actually need to consume less of them, in my experience, as they are so densely packed with vital nutrients.
For excellent support of Green’s research, visit Albert Einstein College of Medicine Grad, Dr. Rima Laibow’s site, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org. Dr. Laibow and her partner, Major General A. Stubblebine (ret.) have done quite a bit of great research outlining the dangers of GMO’S. Also, check out their work on Mr. McCain’s proposed health ‘safety’ bill. More disturbing stuff. Which we CAN do something about (see Dr. L’s site for details!).

Jeff Sekerak, hiker, raw vegan, consumer of organics whenever possible.
