GMO alert: Eating GM wheat may destroy your liver, warn scientists
(NaturalNews) Genetically engineered wheat contains an enzyme suppressor
that, when consumed by humans, could cause permanent liver failure (and
death). That's the warning issued today by molecular biologist Jack
Heinemann of the
University of Canterbury in Australia.
Heinemann has published an
eye-opening report that details this warning and calls for rigorous scientific testing on
animals before this crop is ever consumed by humans. The enzyme
suppressor in the wheat, he says, might also attack a human enzyme that
produces
glycogen. Consumers who eat genetically modified wheat
would end up contaminating their bodies with this enzyme-destroying
wheat, causing their own livers to be unable to produce glycogen, a
hormone molecule that helps the body regulate blood sugar metabolism.
This, in turn, would lead to
liver failure."What we found
is that the molecules created in this wheat, intended to silence wheat
genes, can match human genes, and through ingestion, these molecules can
enter human beings and potentially silence our genes," said Heinemann
in a press conference on the threat of GM wheat (

"We
found over 770 pages of potential matches between these two genes in
wheat and the human genome," he continued. "We found over a dozen
matches that are extensive and identical, and sufficient to cause
silencing in experimental systems. The findings are absolutely assured.
There's no doubt that these matches exist. ...from this information, we
know that it's plausible there will be an adverse effect and therefore
that's why we're calling for a particular battery of experiments to be
done before humans eat this wheat."
Professor Judy Carman,
biochemist and director of the IHER, Flinders University, Adelaide,
added: "If this silences the same sort of gene in us -- as it silences
in the wheat -- then, well, children who are born with this enzyme not
working tend to
die by the age of about five. And adults with
this problem, just kind of get more and more sick, and more and more
tired, until they get very very ill indeed."
She continues,
"Before this comes near any human feeding studies, you need to undertake
thorough animal safety assessments, where you actually look to see if
the animals get sick. So you need to see if this genetic modification
survives digestion and gets into the bodies of the animals. You need to
see what effect it has on them. You need to do proper long-term
toxicology studies... you need to check for cancer, you need to see if
there are any reproductive problems, and you need to check for
allergies..."
GMO pushers want you and your children to be the guinea pigsAs
you consider this information, keep in mind that GMO pushers want you
and your children to eat GMOs that have never been safety tested on
anyone! You are simply supposed to
believe in the safety of GMOs, like a cult followers, without any scientific evidence proving it.
In
today's corporate-run quack science agricultural system, YOU are the
human guinea pigs. There is no science behind the safety of GMOs, and in
fact the real science shows that GMOs cause
infertility, sickness and disease in the animal tests that have been done. GMOs are
a threat to humanity, and those who promote them are junk science villains who have sold their souls to the criminal biotechnology industry.
The
GMO industry is so evil that it doesn't even want you to know you're
eating GMOs! That's why industry giants are funneling tens of millions
of dollars into a scheme to try to defeat Proposition 37 in California (
www.CArighttoknow.org) which would legally mandate the labeling of GMOs on food products.
Even
popular brands that "sound" natural are actually fighting against GMO
labeling: Kashi, Larabar, Cascadian Farm, R.W. Knudsen, Silk and other
brands have all
betrayed consumers and are now the subject of a global
Natural News boycott.

"What
we see here is yet another example of a GM wheat variety released into
the environment without any proper assessment of health and safety
issues. CSIRO and the Australian and New Zealand regulators have long
had a strategy of promoting GM crops which nobody actually wants, with a
degree of enthusiasm that verges on criminal negligence. We see a very
similar scenario in the UK, where GM wheat is being grown at Rothamsted
in spite of strong public opposition and in spite of zero market demand,
just to satisfy the whims of politicians and multinational
corporations. It is high time for this absurd and dangerous experiment
with GM technology to be stopped in its tracks, since new evidence of
harm to health and the environment now seems to be appearing on a weekly
basis." (
