TIDBIT: IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD, EATING GMOS IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH

January 28, 2013 By Joseph P. Farrell …oh by the way, in case you haven’t heard, eating GMOs is looking to be increasingly hazardous to your health:
Regulators Discover a Hidden Viral Gene in Commercial GMO Crops
And consider the following two paragraphs carefully:

“The researchers themselves concluded that the presence of segments of Gene VI “might result in unintended phenotypic changes”. They reached this conclusion because similar fragments of Gene VI have already been shown to be active on their own (e.g. De Tapia et al. 1993). In other words, the EFSA researchers were unable to rule out a hazard to public health or the environment.
“In general, viral genes expressed in plants raise both agronomic and human health concerns (reviewed in Latham and Wilson 2008). This is because many viral genes function to disable their host in order to facilitate pathogen invasion. Often, this is achieved by incapacitating specific anti-pathogen defenses. Incorporating such genes could clearly lead to undesirable and unexpected outcomes in agriculture. Furthermore, viruses that infect plants are often not that different from viruses that infect humans. For example, sometimes the genes of human and plant viruses are interchangeable, while on other occasions inserting plant viral fragments as transgenes has caused the genetically altered plant to become susceptible to an animal virus (Dasgupta et al. 2001). Thus, in various ways, inserting viral genes accidentally into crop plants and the food supply confers a significant potential for harm.”
