How GMO Food Kills Us

Let’s begin today’s article with defining the term GMO.

GMO stands for genetically modified organism, whether we’re talking about an animal (yes, there are GMO animals, and the Chinese are already experimenting with gene editing in babies), a plant, a microorganism or whatever thing that contains DNA which can be modified by transgenic technology and/or genetic engineering.

This artificial genetic modification creates something completely new, a combo of animal, plant, bacterial and virus genes, a completely new organism that did not occur in nature, or via traditional methods, like crossbreeding.

Also, you must know that a lot of products you’re consuming daily contain GMO. For example, over 90% of soy (or corn) is GMO, and soy and corn byproducts can be found in almost every processed food.

Let Me Tell You a Fact You Probably Don’t Know

Just like with the so called scientific consensus about global warming, science is settled and all that nonsense, the scientific consensus in regard to GMO is an artificial construct that has been falsely perpetuated. That’s an actual quote[1] from a statement signed by many physicians, scientists and scholars back in 2015.

Another inconvenient fact is that to date, there’s no epidemiological study (long term that is) aimed at investigating the potential harmful effects of GMO on human health. The vast majority of the research which deemed GMO foods to be kosher has been sponsored by biotech companies, which is the definition of conflict of interest.

According to a peer reviewed study[2] about GMO animal feedings, to put it simply, when it comes to food safety and GMO, the science is still out. Also, as a side note, you should remember that science is never settled. Anybody that’s telling you otherwise is lying and/or has an occult agenda.

Another interesting read is this overview[3] which sums up almost all available (as in public domain) research on genetically modified organisms. What you must remember is that almost all animal feeding studies were performed by biotech (read Monsanto, Bayer or whatever) or their associates[4].

And here’s a good website[5] for tracking GMO news.

Let’s Take a Closer Look at GMO Plants.

Genetically modified plants are designed to resist the direct application of herbicides (read Roundup), or to produce themselves an insecticide. Basically, all GMO crops have been genetically manipulated to be tolerant or resistant to (patented) herbicide glyphosate chemicals (like Roundup), produced by companies like Monsanto. Also, GMO seeds (also patented) are designed to resist specific insects.

The herbicide-tolerant seeds use an enzyme derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium that is, which confers them glyphosate resistance. Insect resistance derives from toxin genes borrowed from Bacillus thuringiensis, another soil bacterium.

Speaking of glyphosate, Roundup is the most used herbicide in the world, and it’s a mandatory “part of the deal” of buying GMO seeds from companies like Monsanto. Roundup has been patented since the seventies.

GMO seeds are also patented, and farmers using GMO seeds enter a legal contract with Monsanto, which forces them to only use Roundup pesticide. Basically, farmers using GMO seeds enter a “legal trap” of sorts, being forced to both buy new (patented) seeds from Monsanto each year with every new harvest, and also to buy Roundup, a very toxic[6] glyphosate.

Speaking of toxicity, biotech giant Monsanto was sued[7] back in 2018 and forced to pay $289 million to a person (a school groundskeeper) who got terminal cancer due to using their popular weed killer Roundup. It’s interesting to note that a few years ago (in 2012), Gilles-Eric Seralini, a molecular biologist, performed a study for France’s University of Caen, which revealed that Roundup contains a proprietary ingredient, polyethoxylated tallowamine respectively, that  was more deadly to human placental, embryonic and umbilical cord cells than glyphosate itself. This specific inert ingredient in Monsanto’s weed killer amplified the overall toxicity of Roundup, yet the company still refuses to reveal the exact composition of Roundup, except from glyphosate, citing copyright issues/proprietary technology and things of that nature.

According to the Seralini study, the so called inert ingredients in Roundup were hugely toxic for the human body even at concentrations 100,000 times more dilute compared to products available on shelves. However, Seralini’s study was surrounded by controversy at the time, and the scientific publication that published the results retracted the findings after being pressured by the biotech lobby. The issue was claimed to be the fact that Seralini used too few rats to produce statistically coherent data, or something along these lines.

The problem with Seralini’s study was that his research linked cancerous tumor growth in rats fed with GMO foods for a period of 2 years.

Since GMOs are basically newly created life forms, biotech companies were able to obtain patents, which permit them to fully control the distribution of GMO seeds. Thus, the respective companies are now suing farmers whose crops have been contaminated with GMOs unintentionally, by pollen drifting from nearby fields.

 

Yet, there’s no scientific evidence that GMOs currently available on the market offer better draught tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nutrition value or any other benefit for the consumer, despite using the latest technologies from the biotech industries,. Moreover, lacking any serious evidence, and by evidence we refer to an independent and credible long term feeding study, GMO food safety is basically unknown.

If you want to see how the GMO lobby works, check out this article[8]:

On 25 November 2015, the High Court of Paris indicted Marc Fellous, former chairman of France’s Biomolecular Engineering Commission, for “forgery” and “the use of forgery”, in a libel trial that he lost to Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini. The Biomolecular Engineering Commission has authorised many GM crops for consumption.

The fact that GMO labeling is not enforced in the United States (or Canada by that matter) doesn’t help much with biotech companies’ credibility, despite the fact that the European Union, Japan and Australia require by law for genetically modified foods to be labeled.

“If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.”

— Norman Braksick, President of Asgrow Seed Company, a Monsanto subsidiary

And if you want to learn how the American public started consuming GMO foods 25 years ago, you must learn about the notion of “substantial equivalence”. To make a long story short, the FDA, the agency responsible for food safety in the US, certified GMO use in the US with zero prior testing.

Sounds incredible, right? Well, here’s how it went: President Bush signed an executive order in 1992, called the Doctrine of Substantial Equivalence.

This happened after he held a private meeting with the head of the Monsanto Corporation in St Louis Missouri. Monsanto at that time was the leading chemicals maker in the US (now it has been bought by Bayer, a German biotech corporation). Monsanto is famous for creating something called Agent Orange, a deadly toxin that was sprayed without restriction over the jungles of Vietnam during the war in the sixties, and created grotesque deformities in children that were born to mothers that had been exposed to Agent Orange, as well as the American soldiers that handled the substance. Well, that was Monsanto then.

Monsanto also brought the world dioxin, one of the most deadly toxic chemicals known to man. They lied about the effects of Agent Orange, they lied (in courts) about the effects of dioxin, they lied about the effects of PCBs, and they are lying today about the dangers of their GMO seeds, and the chemical that they use selectively, Roundup respectively, one of the most dangerous herbicides ever created.

In 1992, Monsanto and President Bush sat down in the White House and Monsanto convinced the president to make an exec-order, on the argument that this new field of bio technology (they used that nomenclature instead of genetic manipulation, for PR reasons) was a wonderful growth opportunity for the American economy. Se, we would become the world leader in this new area of science application. But in order for that to take place, we must let private industry have full freedom for its creative potential.

Now, if any of you have studied science or mathematics, and you think about linguistics, the word substantial is not a precise scientific term. It means “more or less”, or roughly equivalent. Well, this is not very precise, especially when we’re dealing with science or human life. The doctrine of substantial equivalence that President Bush signed into exec-order in 1992 mandated that no government agency, not the FDA, nor the USDA, would conduct independent, neutral, scientific long term research on the potential health dangers of exposure to GMO crops, because, by exec-order, it has been decided in the White House that GMO corn, or GMO rice or soy bean was substantially equivalent to ordinary rice or corn or soy beans. So why bother?

Just let it out into the public. And that began in 1994. The American population, their own people, became mass guinea pigs in the largest and most dangerous experiment in human history.

In closing, you must learn that at least 80% of all processed foods contain GMO ingredients (soy, corn, canola and cottonseed mostly), and the vast majority of Americans eat genetically modified foods on a daily basis.

  • Excellent, excellent article, Chris. Talk about doing your due diligence. Thank you for all that wonderful info. On some level we all know we’re being poisoned. As much as possible talk with your pocket book and read the ingredients of everything you buy before purchasing. On a personal note I stay away from anything to do with soy (tofu, YUCK!), canola, corn or cottonseed oil. The margarine I use has little or no canola in it. I can’t eat corn. It goes out the same way it went in. My body cannot digest corn. So that one is a no brainer for me. Although I have no problems with popcorn. And my cooking oil of choice is sunflower oil. A little more expensive but better for me in the long run. Is it any wonder all these new diseases are turning up? Too many people have compromised immune systems and are getting sicker easier. Then go to the doctor and get your vaccine shot with all the garbage in it which just exacerbates the problem. You’d almost think that the people (demons?) running the planet are deliberately trying to kill as many of us as possible. But in many ways the human race is like a virus. The more you try and kill us the stronger we become. Some may die from all the garbage in the air, food and water but those that survive will become strong as heck. So screw you, ruling elite. Sooner or later your day will come and then we’ll hang all of you from the highest gibbet. This I promise you.

    • I would suggest you to drop margarine and sunflower oil

      Use butter and/or lard/tallow

      • I second this recommendation. Coconut oi is one of the best to use. Margarine has hydrogenated oils in it – very bad for you.

        • I use Coconut oil myself but not all Coconuts oils are the same , I only use Unrefined Coconut oil.

  • This is the MOST IMPORTANT Article that you have written, Chris ! Thank You !

  • This all a part of control of population the population. We already have an MIT study showing the synegentist effect of fluoride, glyphophate, and nonoaluminum, causing calcium cruststion of the pinal gland and making the people docile and unresistive. It’s a collusion of our government, at all levels, and the chemical monopolies.

  • Hallelujah! Someone is finally telling it like it is with what is poisoning our world. An excellent website for more info is Jeffrey Smith at the Institute for Responsible Technology at https://responsibletechnology.org/. And just FYI, Monsanto patented glyphosate three times: the first was as a chelator, the second as an ANTIBIOTIC and the third as a pesticide. That second one should raise eyebrows, because that’s exactly what it is and what it does. It preferentially attacks the good bacteria in your gut. No wonder so many people are so sick in this society.

  • Excellent Article Chris — thank you! There was always something especially haunting about the “Adventures through inner space” ride at Disneyland featured by Monsanto that showed how food would be grown in the future when I was a child! SMH!

  • So you want more food with Round up in it by eliminating GMOs which for the most part you admit no studies have proven harmful to humans? Are EPA, CDC USDA studies unreliable too? Salmonella, botulism and many other deadly diseases are “natural” so going natural is not without risks. What are your thoughts about Steam Cell research or biomedicines, also are GMOs, should we eliminate the? The sky is falling….

  • Thank you for getting the word out. You rock!

  • “Yet, there’s no scientific evidence that GMOs currently available on the market offer better draught tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nutrition value or any other benefit for the consumer, despite using the latest technologies from the biotech industries……..”

    If that was true, why would farmers sign contracts to use GMO seeds in the first place. Its certainly not because they’re cheaper.

  • The GMO corn used for high fructose syrups that are in everything is also why there are no more new mutants being born, so these corporations can privatize that as well.

  • My take of the meaning of the word substantial means a large or greater number ……….

    Also these GMO insect killers IMNSHO are why the bees are disappearing…all the use of Roundup could also explain the mutations in frogs and their disappearing.

    Killing off the bees is signing our Death Warrant…….Monsanto and other GMO creators clam the rest of the World will be “great-full to them for having food plants that will grow in the event of a World Wide Catastrophe or some such…….Their seeds will not produce for more than one season……..What good are they?

    It might be legal for Monsanto/Bayer to sue other Farmers but that does not mean it is Right or Correct…..The same for not Clearly or PROMINENTLY labeling GMO products so all can plainly see them and not mistake them for anything else.

    God only knows the long term effects their creations will have on the Human race….let alone the World

  • Saying all GMOs are harmful I think is an overstatement. For example, I know one project is working on giving cows milk the same immune boosting antibodies that breastfeeding has for babies which would be good in case where mom is unable to breast feed. Formula could be made with the modified milk.

    • He is right. Saying that GMOs are going to kill us and that they will harm us is a very big overstatement. Even in the sources sources it says, there is no sufficient evidence to say that GMOs are harmful

  • Everyone who posted something please go back in time. In the days of old the US Government would not allow patents for “life” meaning plants, animals and so on. A lot of you wont believe it but look it up for your self. For years Monsanto tried to patent “life” products but were constantly shot down. Then when Reagan appointed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court that made the conservatives have control of SCOTUS. Well guess who Clarence Thomas worked for in the 70’s???? You guessed it MONSANTO. He was the 5th Judge to allow Monsanto to have their way. Look it up for yourselves. Everyone thinks Reagan was such a GREAT PRESIDENT. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! HE WAS A PUPPET LIKE ALL THE REST OF THEM!!!!

    • I think you are giving human beings too much credit for being responsible for all the ills in the world. Reagan was not responsible for what Monsanto did or for Clarence Thomas’ decisions. There’s only one who is responsible for all the greed and deception in the world and he’s not human. According to the Bible, God will destroy those who are destroying the Earth.

      Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

      • Hosea 4:6
        My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
        because you have rejected knowledge,
        I reject you from being a priest to me.
        And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
        I also will forget your children.

        You have forgotten the facts. We live in a world of science these days, we can’t fall back on the bible for everything. The bible cannot answer genetic mutation, but we make the quotes look like it implies genetic mutation. It is humans that are controlling this world, and it is humans that are making our world worse. God and religion should be kept out of these conversations. There are plenty of other religions that think they are right. But this article is a science article only, nothing more.
