Mercola: Monsanto Promises Pain to the EU
Monsanto tries to quash EU’s rejection of GMO crops
The European Commission has issued a proposal to drop the policy of zero tolerance for unapproved and untested GMOs in food; the proposal suggests setting a threshold below which contaminated imports could enter Europe’s food chain.
In 2011, the EU decided to allow contamination with up to 0.1 percent of unapproved and untested GMOs in animal feed, which was previously not allowed.
France recently asked the European Commission to suspend Monsanto’s authorization to plant genetically modified MON 810 corn, but the EU stepped in and blocked the ban
GM opponents are urging the EU to reject the proposals, noting the pressure to drop their zero tolerance policy regarding GM contamination is coming from the U.S. government, the WTO (World Trade Organization) and the biotech industry.
Bravo DocWW for speaking out, as a physician! We thank you for this.
I want to suggest that the definition not even of bad science, but of non-science, is to use a model in which the “proof” is made to fit the desired outcome. We all as a collective, need to point this out about the way Monsanto works. And what “proof” do they have anyway, about their claims? None, only proof to quite the contrary.
I have always wondered if the obesity/diabetes epidemic has something to do with GMOs. Your thoughts, Doc? Thanks!
Dr. Wilson answers:
That’s a very good question. There isn’t currently any evidence that GMOs directly contribute to obesity but I believe they indirectly do so. We now believe that excessive fructose mainly from sugar and HFCS and high glycemic carbohydrates mainly from grains can have an adverse affect on brain function triggering a condition called CARB syndrome. Because it takes a healthy brain to auto-regulate fat stores, people with CARB syndrome begin to store extra fat even when they don’t overeat.
As you know GMOs allow the Agricultural industrial Complex to make tons of cheap food loaded with these toxic substances. GMO corn is at the top of this list. GMO soybeans allow them to add cheap fat to our processed food, further contributing to the obesity epidemic. Government subsidies to the sugar, corn and soybean growers contributes to the problem.
If you want to healthy brain and a normal body composition, stay away from these toxic food substances.
To read the rest of the story:
It is now proven by Nanking University that miRNA from plants survives passing into the digestive tract of humans and animals and acts in what might almost be described in a symbiotic fashion, expressing plant miRNA function side by side with human and animal miRNA to modulate expression of organ functions and other physiological functions.
For countless millennia, mankind, animals and plants have coexisted like this, with plant miRNA actually expressing itself in a cross-species manner within our bodies as if we were plants too, in a completely harmonious, harmless and functional manner.
GM miRNA will also act within our bodies, and Nanking University has stated that where the function of miRNA is dysregulated, illnesses, including cancer, and death will result, and this has been observed where animals in India grazing on the remains of GM cotton crops have died a week after eating the GM cotton plants; likewise, in America, pig farmers have seen their pigs experiencing a multitude of extremely serious health and reproductive ailments after consuming GM animal feed grade corn. The writing is on the wall, GM miRNA will likely make us all seriously ill, and most certainly make us sterile, and kill us; if not in one generation then in five or six, but die we will, along with all the animals that we force to eat this poison.
The science that damns the validity of GM plants is now proven; and the politicians must not only be made thoroughly aware of it, they must be made aware that all their electorates know it too; spread the word. The droves of PhD scientists greasing round the politicians to get more grants to line their own pockets, are blind to the facts and implications of this vital and groundbreaking latest research. The politicians and scientists need a reality check right now. Give them one.
