Scientist that discovered GMO health hazards immediately fired, team dismantled


(NaturalNews) Though it barely received any media attention at the time,
a renowned British biochemist who back in 1998 exposed the shocking
truth about how genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) cause organ
damage, reproductive failure, digestive dysfunction, impaired immunity,
and cancer, among many other conditions, was immediately fired from his
job, and the team of researchers who assisted him dismissed from their
post within 24 hours from the time when the findings went public.

Arpad
Pusztai, who is considered to be one of the world's most respected and
well-learned biochemists, had for three years led a team of researchers
from Scotland's prestigious Rowett Research Institute (RRI) in
studying the health effects of a novel GM potato with built-in Bt toxin.
Much to the surprise of many, the team discovered that, contrary to
industry rhetoric, Bt potato was responsible for causing severe health
damage in test rats, a fact that was quickly relayed to the media out of
concern for public health.

But rather than be praised for their
honest assessment into this genetically-tampered potato, Pusztai and his
colleagues were chastised by industry-backed government authorities,
including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose office was discovered
to have secretly contacted RRI just hours after Pusztai and his team
announced the results of their study on television. For speaking the
truth, Pusztai was immediately fired from his position, and his team
dismissed from their positions at the school.

Research out of Egypt finds similar results - GMOs cause severe, long-term health damage

As reported recently in Egypt Independent, similar research by Hussein Kaoud from Cairo University's
Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene also made some fascinating, though
politically incorrect, discoveries about the effects of GMOs on the
body. After feeding nine groups of rats varying combinations of GM soy,
corn, wheat, and canola, Kaoud and his team observed that these genetic
poisons clearly obstructed the normal function of the animals, affirming
Pusztai's research.

"I recorded the alteration of different
organs, shrinkage of kidneys, change in the liver and spleen, appearance
of malignant parts in the tissues, (and) kidney failure and hemorrhages
in the intestine," said Kaoud about the effects of GMOs as observed in
the test rats. "The brain functions were touched as well, and the rats'
learning and memory abilities were seriously altered."

In Kaoud's case, his groundbreaking findings will soon be published in the respected journals Neurotoxicology and Ecotoxicology.
But it remains to be seen whether or not the scientific community at
large, which is heavily influenced by biotechnology interests, and the
political structures that control it will accept the results as valid,
or pull a similar character assassination on Kaoud and his team as
punishment for defying the status quo.

What all this clearly
illustrates, of course, is that modern science can hardly be considered
the independent, truth-seeking, "gold standard" of interpreting and
understanding reality that many people mistakenly think it is. The truth
about GMOs, as uncovered by mounds of independent research, is that
they are inadequately safety tested, at best, and deadly at worst. But
this fact remains shrouded in deception, thanks to the corporatized,
pro-GMO culture of mainstream science.
