I find this fascinating because GMO’s seem to be a relatively new technology that can greatly advance our world and food production output. 1, pp. there are many, many multiple man-made religions that deny the One True God and Creator of the Heavens, the earth, the seas, and all that therein dwells: the LORD God of Israel and the only begotten Son of God: Jesus Christ! Pesticide can contaminate many things and has a lot of effects that are bad for the environment. Sometimes there is no fire. Alas, maybe we can become genetically modified so we, like the potato, can detoxify herbicides! I would just like to say that it seems like you’ve been misinformed. At the other extreme, if you genetically engineered corn to express a gene that make the protein that people are allergic to in peanuts, and then you gave someone with a peanut allergy that corn, they would likely also be allergic to the GE-peanut-corn. I think people are taught to worry to much about almost everything in life! I hear you, but you’re wrong. His hair still has not grown back (3 years later) and at this point he is 21 years old. What is modification? capitalists fund research. There is absolutely No (Zero) proof of any creature turning into another creature in the fossil record! I want to be transparent with you about why I only approved some of your comments. It is completely up to you if you want to read the two studies that I have linked (in red text), but if you are looking for more information just as I was then I hope what I found was helpful to you. They have their environmental flaws, like the creation of super weeds (see our article on glyphosphate resistant crops in this issue). Ruby red grapefruit “Feed the World” ? Part 2 is about bad soy, The Oiling of America and the CHOLESTEROL MYTH. Also, since when is Harvard not a credible source? To a certain extent, I understand why people oppose GMOs. I would rather choose the humbler path of following nature’s lead than the arrogant path, (the one that got us kicked out of the garden of Eden and which is leading us to ruin our second Eden), of tinkering with potentially life threatening technologies . GMOs don’t help either ! as an undergraduate and linguistics as a graduate, both at your neighbor MIT). Just wanted to let you know. Many people in your situation, with no diagnosis for what has occurred, grasp at any possible cause and often find one that is as mysterious as the original illness. Otherwise, it’s just encouraging people to be afraid of something that the scientific consensus says is safe without giving them any useful information. Hello and thank you for your comment! I still acknowledge and applaud you for your work it is very well written! We’re very proud of you, son. 2–3, pp. I suggest you get away from your devilish computer, stomp on your soul-sucking smartphone , throw your TV out a window , and trash your radio and any other electronic device you use. And I am almost one hundred percent sure that you have eaten sweet potatoes, which are naturally GMO, and have been for 8000 years or so. Here is my question: 97% of scientists believe in Global Warming and that it’s caused by Humans. “Safety and nutritional assessment of GM plants and derived food and feed: the role of animal feeding trials.,” Food Chem. hmm. I think this should be covered more thoroughly in the media. BAN THEM ALL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! So I think it’s important to keep in mind that not all GMOs are equal. Funny you should say that. That is not good science. I thought that GMO’s were linked to all these health problems, but it seems like, according to you, they were fed 7000x GMO than Human in terms of consumption rates. Repeated use of this practice over many generations can result in dramatic genetic changes to a species. ... was shown to be assimilated by the roots and translocated to the tops of lettuce and spinach plants. If GMO’S are SOO safe, why do those farmers have to wear HAZMAT suits? Completely slandering logical, science-based conclusions with consistently debunked science; fear-mongering tactics with absolutely nothing credible to back it up. “GM Potatoes Damaged Rats.” Genetic Roulette, Section I: Documented Health Risks. I have not eat any GMO since a long time. Which some GMO’s such as BT corn negate the need for because of the fact that they produce their own natural insecticides. It furthermore seems unlikely given the current data that any of the GM crops we eat now are dangerous to our health. Please see the argument written above in the original piece. You’re young, you’ll learn, but in the mean time don’t lead people down a path pointing to the ‘safety’ of GMO’s. Organic kale Cera-gmc.org, ‘Welcome to the Center for Environmental Risk Assessment | CERA’, 2015. Mice studies are not the equivalent of a double-bind long term human study. That sounds like: Just because someone from Harvard has done a study we should take that as fact? It has happened before and will happen again. He paid our sin-debt in-full on the Cross, was placed in a rich man’s tomb; and He was Risen on the third day in fulfillment of the Scriptures Isaiah 52:13-15; 53:1—9, 10–12; 7:14-16; 9:6; Micah 9:9; Psalm 22:1—–31; 9:1-2, 3-4, 5——11, 12-13, 14—-19, 20-22, 23, 24-26, 27; Wait so Harvard is not a valid source anymore but some random blogger is? I have tried both GMO and non-GMO versions of products and there really isn’t that much of a difference. “Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide worldwide. 2097–2102, 2004. Them the sun is causing cancer due to the hole over the north pole. by Megan L. Norris Summary: As the prevalence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) continues to rise, there has been an increasing public interest for information concerning the safety of these products. I am sorry for the pain of your child’s condition, but it’s pure specuilation and grasping for a reason to blame it on GMOs. Glyphosate resistant crops won’t encourage farmers to use more herbicides. This article is ridiculous. This entire section is based off the point that HARVARD isn’t a credible source?! Methylation is also essential to convert both folate and folic acid – each a form of Vitamin B9 – … Vecchio, L., B. Cisterna, M. Malatesta, T. Martin, and B. Biggiogera. It is not irresponsible that Harvard let this paper be published because its there right to publish whatever they wish. . Please get your facts right. If you really wanted to make logical argument, you should create three diets, one focused around GMO, one with both GMO foods and non-GMO foods, and a diet focused around non-GMO food. Introduction Living things include many kinds of organisms, from the plants, animals, fungi, and algae that can be readily seen in nature to the multitude of tiny creatures known as protozoa, bacteria, and archaea that can be seen only with a microscope.Living things can be found in every type of habitat on Earth—on land and in lakes, rivers, and oceans. The point is that I am familiar with the idea that just because something came directly from nature doesn’t mean its healthy (aflotoxin, cyanide (a pesticide that plants made all by themselves), etc). I would also like to point out that cancer is caused by rampant cell growth and you can’t catch it by eating something. Our ancestors that selectively bred wolves to eventually develop Corgis could not foresee that today we would be able to genetically engineer corn to withstand pests, herbicides, and drought. However, we are surprised that these authors have used a value of 0.3 mg/day as an acceptable daily limit. A sign of an objective person. It is especially important in prenatal health. 2008. Neither yours nor previous commenters argument is valid. They are resistant to pesticide. What a tremendous disappointment this article is. Interestingly, recent advances in plant breeding techniques may increase the utility and rebound the popularity of the more traditional GMO method of selective breeding. Untrustworthy science is that without controls that did not go through a peer review process and cannot be replicated (like the IRT study), trustworthy or “good” science is the opposite. But these authors KNOW that there are technological differences, and the two classes of methodologies present different benefits and risks. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through Him might believe. The CRISPR-Cas gene editing technique lets a selected gene be cut very precisely or replaced by another gene. 2009. Your comment about human-caused global warming is not true, however. When a scientific organization or research department purposefully conflates selective breeding through reproductive means and the genetic manipulation of biotechnology, the breaking, disrupting and forced replacement of DNA sequencing–an obvious and radical departure from the historic application/definition of the term ‘genetic modification, I am infuriated and I immediately discount the article and its author(s). Btw, Islam be it right or wrong is still their choice, same as GMO. Did you hear about the GMO rice that produces 43% more grain and emits 97% less methane (http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2015/feeding-the-world/)? I like my food from the earth, with its DNA pure, the way it was intended to be. You’re correct that the average person could have more than 5% of their diet made up of GM foods, but that was not the question of this particular study. She earned her B.S. ‘‘A Long-term Study on Female Mice Fed on a Genetically Modified Soybean: Effects on Liver Ageing.’’ Histochemistry Cell Biology 130 (5): 967-77. Each of those devices has easily provable disadvantages to your health and psychic well-being. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the Way of Truth shall be evil spoken of. It’s so funny to see you using expressions such as “as far as I can remember” and “as far as I can tell” as valid arguments. Root-knot nematode galls on lettuce are beadlike (Figures 4, 7). Our medical schools and big pharmaceutical industry and likely Monsanto fund many of these studies and schools. This comment is primarily aimed at Sitn Flash (?) So to be on this board defending GMOs is questionable to say the least, particularly because there is not enough evidence to even make a claim about the safety of GMOs. That may be easier. Megan, unless I missed it, there was no mention of other ‘organs’ such as the gut. Please cite your source! Plants are not destructive if anything they’re the ones going to save this plant from all the horrible things going on, but people are to close-minded to believe this. What I’m concerned on GMO’s is their impact on the environment, not just directly as crop, but the terrible use of pesticides affecting soil and water (subterranean and water contaminated by run off) since most of them are made to resist glysophate. To discern whether GMO crops affect fertility or embryos during gestation, a group from South Dakota State University again turned to studies on rats. I have seen research that suggest it would be less healthy. Wild fish It appears the information you found was for most organs but certainly not all. In humans, coumarin metabolism mainly occurs through 7-hydroxylation, a high-affinity reaction catalyzed by CYP2A6 (Draper, Madan, & Parkinson, 1997). Since glyphosate was introduced in 1974, all regulatory assessments have established that glyphosate has low hazard potential to mammals, however, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded in March 2015 that it is probably carcinogenic.”, Here is some interesting reading from Science Direct on what glyphosate does to the environment. Different bodies react differently to different foods why some people have tried keto diets and are unaffected simply b/c their body does not lose weight on a keto diet. I must say, I am quite offended by your comment. Required fields are marked *. One day you all will have to answer to God for your part in the destruction of the human race. That’s the herbicide’s flaw, not the GMO’s, but you do make a good point against herbicides, Homie the problem with round up is that monsanto lied about its negative health effects for years. People acquire the virus by ingesting material contaminated with small amounts of infected feces or fluids. Your review of literature show at best that the technique of gene splicing in and of itself is not harmful but this not mean that dangerous & harmful products can be created with gene splicing. I am trying to invite you to a discussion about this–please send me all the data that you keep telling me I am ignoring. Thanks for your comment. its an electronic device. I personally think we should continue to be careful and test new GMOs to make sure they don’t cause problems with superweeds and biodiveristy, but so far, those concerns are mostly hypothetical. Does anyone know a good, objective source for vetting them a little more thoroughly? – Well, Adam, today we are men. It must be good, right? Long but worth listening to! About 5000 species of aphid have been described and of these, some 450 species have colonized food and fiber crops. is given by Inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, (spiritually mature) throughly furnished unto all good works. It’s these type of people that prevent beneficial technologies from helping society. Of course it will be important for our government to regulate these crops so that corporations cannot choose greed over benefit for people of the world. You are spreading ill-informed fear, and this article does not try to instill any fear in anyone. Now glyphosate-resistant technology has been applied to many other crops, including corn and sugar beets. Please see our other articles here: http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/signal-to-noise-special-edition-gmos-and-our-food/. This correlation alone of course does not prove causality but where there is smoke, science must take the time to identify the source of the fire. First of all, I just wanted to say that this article really helped me in my English class. It is not clear whether she used her own DNA in the creation, too. This is recognized by EFSA and the scientific community as a knowledge gap. It would behoove the writer to ask herself WHY GENETICALLY MODIFY PLANTS? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to the fruit of his doings. Also, if a crop is altered to produce its own pesticides, and the claim is that with GMO crops you are now spraying less pesticides doesn’t the total pesticide count, whether produced internally or applied externally, still add up to non-GMO conventional agriculture? Thank you for providing a good clarification details regarding the toxicity, genes and mutagenesis. I am still concerned about GMO’s. expo, I agree completely with you. 5 And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Like the author of this post, I am a graduate student. To be our sin-sacrifice! Also, plenty (if not all) of the studies cited here are funded by government agencies in multiple countries, as is most basic scientific research, so there should be no conflict of interest. I think it’s safe to say that the article leans way to the pro side of the subject. It is a very good feeling to finally acquire such a handy resource. ” How does GMO solve or even contribute positive effect? | pepcoffin. Did you ever get a second opinion? Have there been studies looking at particular GMO products against all types of test subjects? what are you typing on. both vaccines and gmos are dangerous abominations born from labs that can harm our children. With anything, as time goes on business and scientists become lax over time. thanks for this article though. For example, the “Multigeneration reproductive and developmental toxicity study of bar gene inserted into genetically modified potato on rats”, uses 5% GMO potato in the group fed GMOs to test its toxicity. I’m aware of all the controversy surrounding said article, being first published in Food and Chemical Toxicology, then retracted and then finally republished in Environmental Sciences Europe, but I read the authors’ answer to critics (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278691512008149?via%3Dihub) and it seemed plausible to me. Where is the evidence? are using citizens of the U. S. and other countries who do not have laws forbidding GMO foods, or at least forcing the labeling of such foods as being GMO, as Guinea pigs until, as in the case of Aspartame and other ‘fake’ sweeteners, the evidence became sufficient to cause the (at least partial) banning and/or labeling of the substances. Got your email reply. In humans, there is some evidence that foods containing folate protect against pancreatic, esophageal and colorectal cancer. However, after researching for this product, I find this article and series very interesting. It is a bit of a slippery slope to say that just cutting out GMO foods from your diet solved all your major health problems. I say, let’s go on with it. It is not only misleading but it really sounds like a proGMO industry article, full of outright lies. I am actually doing an assignment and have to compare different 4 articles to find which one do answer my question on GMOs. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window), Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window), Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window), Will GMOs Hurt My Body? I think the author is pretty clear that modern genetic engineering and selective breeding are not the same (if you read the whole article): “Although artificial selection is an ancient process that is still used today, most current conversations regarding GMOs refer to a much more modern process of altering the genetics of organisms.”.
