十万火急，湖北广西东北耕地，已因转基因作物全部报废，请中央立即下令停止转
基因水稻全国推广，请中央速派调查组到湖北广西东北，调查原转基因作物耕地，
种植非转基因作物情况。
转基因，百草亡，转基因作物耕地无昆虫无杂草，种植过转基因作物的耕地，不长
杂草，停种后再种其它作物，就种不成了，长出来也是毒草，也是有毒作物，无法

今天在医院做了个有意思的调查：在医院死人比例如下 30岁以下约占18%，50岁上
下占69.7%，余下不到13%的是70岁以上的老人；30岁以下的多意外突发之类，50岁
上下多怪病杂病难治之症 而且最要命的是这个层段的往往是进院次数最少的 经常
是就一二次 一病就难以扛下！相反70岁以上的倒多是老顽固，抗性极强 我就感觉
有些纳闷了 ... 原因分析：一是与『进口』有关；二是生活.各方压力太大，这个
层常常是上有老下有小... 而老的70岁以上多是从大风大雨中过来的 又中间层照顾
的比较好，是在绿色环保时代 走完少年、青壮年 ，当他们进入老年也就是近十年
他们很少食用时尚产品 。
方法三.
洛克菲勒基金会的张启发院士认为成人每天吃500克转基因稻米，连吃657年也不会
出现问题，人食用转基因稻米是安全的，鉴于
中国的砖家叫兽没有花657年去证明「连吃657年也不会出现问题」，本小农（
因为农大毕业即失业在家务农）决定自己证实，转基因稻米咱没地买，但转基因大
豆楼下豆腐坊就有（现在市面上也没多少非转基因的大豆了），他的豆渣是免费的
，我准备了果蝇，金鱼，小鸡，仓鼠，宠物市场上有卖的。
1.。。。果蝇拿苍蝇代替，数目太多没数，豆渣发酵后喂食，17天后全部死亡
，生产的蛆未孵化，可能是温度不行，但正常寿命应该是30天
2.。。。金鱼为 50燕尾 金鲫鱼 ，豆渣发酵后喂食，27尾已经死亡，原因未
知，可能是偏食给饿死的，其余23尾有17尾总是偏着头游泳，其中有一条亲鱼买的
时候就怀孕了，买后一个月产子，缸低铺了一层，但是2个月了都臭了没孵出来。温
度在18度没问题，分析是没有受精。
3.。。。小鸡50只，2天后死了6只，试验样本44 只，3个月后突然出现7只边
叫边转圈，大群正常，无伤亡，但羽毛松散不光洁，鉴于鸡的寿命可长达10年，现
正在继续观察。
4.。。。因为没地买白鼠买的仓鼠，试验样本50只，3个月后有10只掉毛有皮
肤红，皮肤干燥产生类似头皮屑的东西，不停的搔痒，不停的乱抓而造成流血。判
断是皮肤病或是过敏，为防感染分离出去喂自家产的白薯做放弃，15只疑似感染分
离直接喂大豆加强营养，25只放原地还喂豆渣，
注意恐怖的一幕出现了，15只疑似感染分离直接喂大豆的仓鼠四个月另六天后
在食物充足的情况下突然互相撕咬，要知道他们是一个大家子，本身是血亲啊！也
不存在发情啊！现已经全部死亡，解剖后发现小脑萎缩，就像买的核桃被烤干了成
片的样子，身体脏器全部肿大，形成突起的乳头状、息肉状、菜花状的肿物，浸润
性包块状，溃疡状伴浸润性生长，切面呈灰白或灰红色，有恶臭，恶心的你吃不下
去，请看图16及录像。
因为太恶心了，索性把25只放原地还喂豆渣也给处理了，他们也表现了类似的
症状但是不明显，还没有互相撕咬，不死不休，但
身体脏器也全部肿大了，请看图17及录像-没有全部解剖实在是太恶心了，让
你心里实在受不了了！现在倒是分离出去喂自家产的白薯做放弃的还活蹦乱跳的。
分析；可能因为豆渣中的蛋白质含量下降，（也包括类似高效杀虫Bt蛋白和其
他未知蛋白的含量下降），让吃豆渣的仓鼠多活了几天，而吃高蛋白的仓鼠又神经
病又癌症又早衰，并且全部都免疫力下降。本人所做实验不是很精确，但是全部属
实，有录像为证，想要详细报告的请联系dfsf21@126.com。
大家赶紧调查吧, 否则连调查的机会都没了.
附文二：与草甘膦相关的知识：
「1995年，孟山都开始生产抗农达大豆。……农达就是美国政府用来清除哥伦比亚
毒品作物的那种除草剂。正因为抗农达大豆能够免受伤害，因此无论是大豆还是所
有的杂草都可以喷洒『农达』，这样既杀死了杂草又能将大豆保留下来。……种植
各类蔬菜供自己消费的农民们发现，他们的作物因喷洒除草剂而被杀死，因为农达
把除了经过基因改造能够『抗 草 甘 膦 』的孟山都大豆之外的所有植物都杀死了
。
抗农达大豆作物的产量要比传统大豆作物平均低5%～15%。而且，需要使用的除草剂
要多得多，农民们发现，新长出来的有毒杂草需要使用比以前多两倍的喷洒量才能
清除。美国农业部1997年以来的统计数字显示，抗农达大豆种植面积的扩大，导致
草 甘 膦 的使用量增加了72%。」
昨天我才弄明白这个「农达」原来就是Roundup的音译——说「农达」没多少人知道
是什么玩艺，但一说Roundup美国人几乎都知道这是美国最厉害的除草剂，价格最贵
。我有一美国朋友专门告诉过我，市场上卖的除草剂有各种各样：有专给草坪除杂
草的，有专给菜园除杂草的，有专给花卉除杂草的，不能弄错，否则可能适得其反
，想除的没除掉，想保护的反倒给杀死了。
但最不能用错的就是Roundup，那可是除草剂之王，所到之处一切植物全部杀光——
英文round up 的意思是「兜捕」、「围而歼之」，而Roundup的意思简直可以说就
是「格杀勿论」、「一扫而光」、「斩草除根」、「斩尽杀绝」、「寸草不留」。
（我亲眼见识过，确实所向披靡，横扫一切。）
这玩艺的祖宗就是美军在越南战争中大量使用的落叶剂——橙剂（Agent Orange）
，而孟山都公司当年就是美军使用的落叶剂的主要生产商。把当年的落叶剂技术进
一步发展，就成了今天的Roundup——孟山都公司的「军转民」。 虽然说把生化武
器的「落叶剂」变为和平用途的「除草剂」是「放下屠刀、立地成佛」的善举，不
过这「善」是从邪恶中来，骨子里可不善，始终透着一股邪气、杀气，稍不留神就
能伤人——商店里的除草剂都是密封的，但那股子怪味怎么密封都封不住，隔老远
就能呛得人头昏目花眼泪鼻涕跑冒滴漏浑身不自在。难怪有人告诉我生产这玩艺的
工厂的工人中净是男不男女不女生不出娃娃的——连孟山都公司自己都在Roundup的
使用说明里明明白白告诫：这玩艺对人体有害，对环境有害，不能沾到眼睛，不能
沾到衣服，不能沾到水源。

棍子似乎有啲义和拳嘅遗风啵。 自作孽 万分危急！同胞们立刻行动起来，拯救中华民族！
基因偷袭！中华民族危急！针对中华民族的基因战争已经开始！亡族灭种危机，悄然来到每个人身边！每一个爱国的中国人，人不论男女老幼，地不分东西南北，积极行动起来，抵制转基因！明哲保身，逆来顺受，冷漠麻木，听之任之、各顾各的，不管不顾自己和子孙存亡，乃是自取灭绝之道！
1、 什么是转基因？
基因是生物细胞中遗传物质DNA中遗传信息的功能或物质单位。转基因就是用分离修饰后的外源基因转移到其他生物的细胞中，从而改变其遗传物质并有效地表达特定性状。也叫基因重组或基因工程、遗传工程等。动植物蛋白质、脂肪、糖类等各种物质及各种性状都是由基因决定的。转基因生物是美国洛克菲勒基金会种族净化项目优生学对所谓「劣等人种」实施大规模灭绝的新名词。
2、 转基因食品对我们中国人有哪些危害或潜在巨大危害？
小白鼠的基因及生物生理学特征与人相似，所以成为医学最佳实验动物之一。因此，在小白鼠身上实验出现的结果很有可能在人身上出现。英国阿伯丁罗威特研究所一位68岁的严肃的生物科学家――阿帕特.普兹泰博士用转基因土豆喂养小白鼠研究转基因食物在动物身上可能产生的长期作用，结果是实验鼠肾脏、胸腺和脾脏生长异常或萎缩或生长不当，多个重要器官也遭到破坏，出现肝脏癌症早期症状、睾丸发育不全，脑部萎缩，免疫系统变弱。奥地利科学家研究发现，小白鼠吃了转基因玉米或转基因大豆后，性情烦躁、过敏、好斗，母的不再具有母性本能，体质下降，经2、3代后生殖能力显著下降，肝脏、肾脏和其他器官受损（小白鼠一代是一个月左右），早死。转基因作物会产生不可预知的毒素和过敏反应原和致病物质，间接产生耐抗生素细菌。
最近一年来上海、浙江、广西、河南大学生（未婚）精子健康调查发现，57%—86%的参与者精子数量不能达到最低受孕水平，而他们自己还不知道！这种情况表明，中华民族种族灭绝已经开始！2001年美国一家生物技术公司创造了一种转基因玉米的终极版本——杀精子玉米。广西从2001年开始推广种植美国孟山都「迪卡007」号转基因玉米，到2008年已经扩大到1026万亩，平均亩产463公斤。孟山都还准备在东北推广3000多万亩「迪卡008」转基因玉米。东北大豆有50%已经是转基因的。湖北从2004年开始非法种植转基因水稻，目前转基因玉米和水稻已经流通到全国很多城市。农业部2009年11月27日批准了两种转基因水稻和一种转基因玉米的「安全证书」，并且要大面积推广。山东胶南2010年2月8日宣布在大学园区建立转基因花生科研基地。
世界上任何一个国家，还没有将转基因粮食作为人的主粮食用。欧洲全面禁止种植转基因农作物。世界上最贫穷的非洲也拒绝种植转基因粮食。将转基因食品作为13亿国民的主粮，很可能成为贻害13亿国民的自杀计划，尤其是贻害其子孙后代的自杀式种族灭绝计划。中华民族所有人，都不但将变成转基因粮食安全性的实验白鼠，承担转基因食品的一切潜在危险，而且被置于任何可能的转基因食品武器的毁灭性打击威胁中。而用转基因技术研发的「基因武器」对人类的毁灭性威力不亚于核武器。如果发生「基因核武器」引发的生物灾难这种最坏的结果，将是中华民族的灭绝——亡国灭种不再是遥远得不可想象的神话，而是迫在眉睫活生生的现实。
美国灭绝中华民族绝对是蓄谋已久的。在1992—2003年，美国、日本等在中国大规模采集了中国人血样，依靠他们先进的生物基因技术搞清了其基因图谱。之后的「非典」肆虐，死亡者96%是华人。去年的甲型H1N1流感，在流感出现之前制药公司已经研制出了疫苗。针对中华民族的大规模灭绝人口的基因战争早已开始。毒蛇、肉毒杆菌、南美箭毒蛙毒素及艾滋病病毒及「绝种」基因都可以「转」到其他生物基因中（肉毒毒素一亿分之七克可以毒死一个人）。早在18世纪，美国殖民者就用天花等手段灭绝了美洲印第安人。对于处心积虑要灭绝中华民族的敌人（人渣），正确的态度是害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无。对于转基因食物的危害，宁可信其有，不可信其无。在这个市场经济无所不为的时代，你需要的永远是戒心！不愿灭亡的人民只有依靠自己！覆巢之下，安有完卵？！
3、转基因食品有哪些？
中国农业部已经批准种植的转基因农作物有：甜椒、西红柿、木瓜；主粮作物有玉米、水稻。今后可能陆续批准的农作物有小麦、甘薯、谷子、花生、高粱等主要食粮。进口大豆全部是转基因的。目前只有花生油不是转基因的。麦当劳、肯德基的食品基本全部是转基因的。猪、牛、鸡饲料是转基因玉米、转基因大豆。转基因大豆油是用6号轻汽油浸出的。这种轻汽油含有致癌成分。
没有承诺不使用转基因成份，或没有回应查询的品牌：
食用油和调味品：太太乐、辣得劲、迎春楼、四季宝、金象牌、粤皇、味好美牌、美味鲜牌、贵夫人、家乐、老蔡、阿香婆、元宝牌、百味佳牌、老才臣牌、鹰唛、好乐门、红宝牌、福临门、红灯牌、狮头唛、大满贯、鸿禧牌、金龙鱼、花旗、刀唛
饼干：乐之、趣多多、鬼脸嘟嘟、奥利奥、天伦、美嘉思、丹麦蓝罐曲奇
即溶饮品及冲调食品：雀巢、美禄、雀巢巧伴伴、麦斯威尔、果珍、伊利、南方、金味、南国、百草堂、荔八江。
饮料及奶制饮品：康师傅、伊利、杨协成 、非常可乐、京华、娃哈哈、新奇士
婴儿食品及奶粉：雀巢、三鹿、伊利、安怡、安满、亨氏
膨化食品及零食：可比客、卡乐B、品客、明治、卡露芙、旺旺
糖果及果冻：雀巢、雀巢奇巧、瑞士糖、喜之郎。
雪糕：雀巢、五羊、和路雪、伊利
另：转基因大米也在悄悄流入市场。
4、 中国老百姓如何避免转基因食品？
转基因食品和主粮是特洛伊木马、是潘多拉之盒中的魔鬼，是不折不扣的亡族灭种的祸水，是美帝国主义和资改派法西斯统治集团灭绝中华民族的生物武器。每个中国老百姓都要认识它的严重巨大危害，知道其基本知识，坚决不种转基因农作物，坚决不买、不吃转基因粮食、食品、药品。用口头、手机短信、电子邮件、QQ、论坛、跟帖、传单、墙报、小册子等方法广泛宣传转基因食品的危害，做到家喻户晓，人人皆知，相互提醒，共同抵制。农民要自己留种，或只使用杂交改良种子。转基因食品已经无处不在，留给我们的只有一条路那就是全体中国人民团结起来坚决抵制所有转基因作物的种植生产和进口，把一切转基因食品全部赶出中国。要认识到，保护健康生命后代子孙是绝对马虎不得的事。建立城乡农产品生产消费合作社定点定向供应，优势互补，避开中间环节。实在不行，赶快建立原生作物种子库，用低温（—18℃）可保存30年以上。
5、 中国农民为什么不能贪图蝇头之利或心存侥幸种植转基因农作物（粮、菜、果、药）？
转基因作物有三个特点：一是对原始野生农作物有灭绝作用，一旦种植了转基因作物，野生农作物将从此灭绝，这一点已被实践证明，不再属于理论问题。二是转基因产品都是绝育产品，就象骡子，不能象原来农作物那样可以用打下的粮食作为来年的种子，一旦种植了转基因主粮，那么就会完全消灭原来作物的种子，从而完全依赖转基因种子。世界上主要农作物转基因种子的专利权几乎全部属于孟山都、拜耳、杜邦等跨国大公司，一旦种子被他们控制，将支付昂贵的专利费。三是只能用转基因种子公司指定的农药化肥，农民将彻底被他们控制，成为新农奴。
种植转基因粮食产量更低，污染周围的非转基因作物和野生植物资源，农药施用量加大，土地肥力降低，病虫害增加，产品质量下降，出口、卖也没人要，危害健康，并且会不可逆地改变当地生态和破坏生物多样性。孟山都专利的转基因大豆种子、转基因玉米种子和其他种子被卖到了美国和加拿大的各个地区，农民们受到欺骗，以为这些种子能增加收成。一旦他们买了这些转基因种子，后悔都来不及。提高粮食产量的途径有很多，比如改良土壤、增施有机肥、用杂交品种、扩大种植面积、改变耕作制度、兴修水利，推广生态立体循环农业等，粮食增产并非一定要用转基因种子不可。
中国农业部批准的转基因玉米和水稻的大部分专利属于一百年来一直谋划灭绝有色人种、资助纳粹屠杀的洛克菲勒基金会旗下的、越南战争中橙剂（落叶剂）的制造者孟山都。孟山都攻陷阿根廷、巴西等发展中国家农业的方法就是先低价或免费为农民提供转基因种子，待其种植面积扩大到绝对优势时，才提出专利要求。这时原来农作物种子已经灭绝！这么重大的事，知道和宣传是每个人的责任和义务，不知道不宣传冷漠麻木是罪过！善良忠厚的农民朋友请相互提醒，无论如何千万不要种植转基因作物，千万不要在不知不觉中被奸人利用做灭绝中华民族的敌人的帮凶，做出骨肉相残、祸害华夏子孙后代、成为千古罪人的事来！

Genetically Modified Food - GM Foods List and Information
Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have hadtheir DNA changed through genetic engineering. Unlike conventionalgenetic modification that is carried out through time-testedconventional breeding of plants and animals. Combining genes fromdifferent organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology, and theresulting organism is said to be genetically modified.
GM Foods
Definition: Genetically modified (GM) foods are food itemsthat have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering. Unlikeconventional genetic modification that is carried out throughtime-tested conventional breeding of plants and animals. Combininggenes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology,and the resulting organism is said to be "genetically modified,""genetically engineered," or "transgenic." GM products includemedicines and vaccines, foods and food ingredients, feeds, and fibers.
Genetic modification of food is not new.
For centuries, food crops and animals have been altered throughselective breeding. While genes can be transferred during selectivebreeding, the scope for exchanging genetic material is much wider usinggenetic engineering. In theory, genetic engineering allows geneticmaterial to be transferred between any organism, including betweenplants and animals. For example, the gene from a fish that lives invery cold seas has been inserted into a strawberry, allowing the fruitto be frost-tolerant.
By far the most common genetically modified (GM) organisms are cropplants. But the technology has now been applied to almost all forms oflife, from pets that glow under UV light to bacteria which form HIVblocking "living condoms" and from pigs bearing spinach genes to goatsthat produce spider silk.
When did genetically modified foods originate?
Between 1997 and 1999, gene-modified (GM) ingredients suddenlyappeared in 2/3rds of all US processed foods. This food alteration wasfueled by a single Supreme Court ruling. It allowed, for the firsttime, the patenting of life forms for commercialization. Since thenthousands of applications for experimental GM organisms have been filedwith the US Patent Office alone, and many more abroad.
The first commercially grown genetically modified whole food cropwas the tomato (called Flavr Savr), which was made more resistant torotting by Californian company Calgene. The tomatoes were released intothe market in 1994 without any special labeling.
In February 1996, J. Sainsbury and Safeway Stores in the UnitedKingdom introduced Europe's first genetically-modified food product. Avariant of the Flavr Savr was used by Zeneca to produce tomato pastewhich was sold in Europe during the summer of 1996. Following GM cropsincluded insect resistant cotton and herbicide-tolerant soybeans bothof which were commercially available in 1996.
In 2003, countries that grew 99 % of the global transgenic cropswere the United States (63 %), Argentina (21 %), Canada (6 %), Brazil(4 %), China (4 %), and South Africa (1 %) and today the GroceryManufacturers of America estimate that 75 % of all processed foods inthe U.S. contain a GM ingredient.
Between 1995 and 2005, the total surface area of land cultivatedwith GMOs had increased by a factor of 50, from 17,000 km² (4.2 millionacres) to 900,000 km² (222 million acres), of which 55 percent were inBrazil.
In the US, by 2006 89 % of the planted area of soybeans, 83 % of cotton, and 61 % maize were genetically modified varieties.
Today many Gmod crops are grown in North America. India has alsocome aboard the bandwagon in 2002 with a rapid and continuing expansionof GM cotton varieties.
"Genetic engineering is inherently dangerous, because it greatlyexpands the scope for horizontal gene transfer and recombination,precisely the processes that create new viruses and bacteria that causedisease epidemics, and trigger cancer in cells." - Dr. Mae-Wan Ho
Genetically Modified Food Debates
Genetically modified foods, or GM foods, are often mentioned in thenews lately. European environmental organizations and public interestgroups have been actively protesting against GM foods since they werefirst created, and recent controversial studies about the effects ofgenetically modified corn pollen on monarch butterfly caterpillars havebrought the issues of genetic engineering plants and animals to theattention of the public.
The benefits of genetically modified food crops include being ableto breed disease resistant crops and herbicide tolerant strains.Genetically modified crops can also be made to include vitamins thatmay be lacking in some staple varieties.
According to the UK Greenpeace website- The introduction of genetically modified (GM) food and crops has beena disaster. The science of taking genes from one species and insertingthem into another was supposed to be a giant leap forward, but insteadthey pose a serious threat to biodiversity and our own health. Inaddition, the real reason for their development has not been to endworld hunger but to increase the stranglehold multinational biotechcompanies already have on food production. And - The simple truth is,we don't need GM technology. Using sustainable and organic farmingmethods will allow us to repair the damage done by industrial farming,reducing the excessive use of fertiliser, herbicides and other man-madechemicals, and making GM crops redundant.
Many scientists argue that there is more than enough food in theworld and that the hunger crisis is caused by problems in fooddistribution and politics, not production, so people should not beoffered food that may carry some degree of risk.
Activists are opposed to genetic engineering as with currentrecombinant technology there is no way to ensure that geneticallymodified organisms will remain under control, plus the use of thistechnology outside secure laboratory environments represents multipleunacceptable risks to both farmed and wild ecosystems.
In 1996, Brazil nut genes were spliced into soybeans by a companycalled Pioneer Hi-Bred. Some individuals, however, are so allergic tothis nut, they go into anaphylactic shock (similar to a severe beesting reaction) which can cause death.
Many opponents of current genetic engineering realize that theincreasing use of GM in crops has caused a power shift in agriculturetowards Biotechnology companies, which are gaining more control overthe production chain of crops and food, and over the farmers that usetheir products, as well.
In 1989, dozens of Americans died and several thousands wereafflicted and impaired by a genetically altered version of the foodsupplement – L-tryptophan. A settlement of $2 billion dollars was paidby Showa Denko, Japan』s third largest chemical company. (Mayeno andGleich, 1994).
On August 18, 2006, American exports of rice to Europe wereinterrupted when much of the U.S. crop was confirmed to be contaminatedwith unapproved engineered genes, possibly due to accidentalcross-pollination with conventional crops.
In 1998, 95-98 percent of about 10 km² planted with canola byCanadian farmer Percy Schmeiser were found to contain Monsanto'spatented Roundup Ready gene although Schmeiser had never purchased seedfrom the Monsanto company. Monsanto then sued Schmeiser for piracy. Inthe past few years more and more crops have started to cross-pollinatewhich leaves a problem that is yet to be solved.
In 2005 Environmentalists say Australia faced "the most serious geneticcontamination event"in its history, after the West Australian government confirmed lowlevels of genetically modified canola had been found in non-GM canola.Also in 2005 a decade-long project to develop genetically modified peaswith built-in pest-resistance has been abandoned after tests showedthey caused allergic lung damage in mice.
"They're now turning those seeds into intellectual property, sothey have a virtual lock on the seeds upon which we all depend for ourfood and survival." - Jeremy Rifkin
Genetically Modified Food Labels
In America, there』s no need for labeling and this has resulted ina largely uninformed populace that is ingesting 「gene-altered」 food.
In other parts of the world such as the European Union, Japan,Malaysia and Australia consumers demand labelling so they can exercisechoice between foods that have genetically modified, conventional ororganic origins. Since its implementation in April 2004, EU Regulation1829/2003 (labeling of genetically modified food and feed) has causedboth food and feed manufacturers in Europe as well as their overseassuppliers a great deal of concern.
All genetically modified foods intended for sale in Australia andNew Zealand must undergo a safety evaluation by Food StandardsAustralia New Zealand (FSANZ), an independent government agency. FSANZwill not approve a GM food unless it is safe to eat. It is mandatoryfor GM foods to be identified on food labels in Australia and NewZealand. These requirements became law in December 2001 and were put inplace by food ministers to assist consumers to purchase or avoid GMfoods, depending on their own views and beliefs.
The Canadian Federation of Agriculture says the industry faces hugelosses if mandatory labelling is implemented. The fear is thatconsumers will see the labels as a warning and avoid these foods, andthat food processors will reformulate their products to avoid GM foodsrather than place labels. It also says labels will increase the priceof foods produced and processed in Canada.
"The fact is, it is virtually impossible to even conceive of atesting procedure to assess the health effects of geneticallyengineered foods when introduced into the food chain, nor is there anyvalid nutritional or public interest reason for their introduction." Richard Lacey: Professor of Food Safety, Leeds University.
List of genetically modified foods:
It』s virtually impossible to provide a complete list of geneticallymodified food (GM food) in the United States because there aren』t anylaws for genetically modified crops!
Some estimates say as many as 30,000 different products on grocery store shelves are "modified." That's largely because many processed foods contain soy. Half of North America's soy crop is genetically engineered!
Rapeseed - Resistance to certain pesticides and improvedrapeseed cultivars to be free of erucic acid and glucosinolates.Gluconsinolates, which were found in rapeseed meal leftover frompressing, are toxic and had prevented the use of the meal in animalfeed. In Canada, where "double-zero" rapeseed was developed, the cropwas renamed "canola" (Canadian oil) to differentiate it from non-ediblerapeseed.
Honey - Honeycan be produced from GM crops. Some Canadian honey comes from beescollecting nectar from GM canola plants. This has shut down exports ofCanadian honey to Europe.
Cotton - Resistant to certain pesticides - considered a foodbecause the oil can be consumed. The introduction of geneticallyengineered cotton plants has had an unexpectedly effect on Chineseagriculture. The so-called Bt cotton plants that produce a chemicalthat kills the cotton bollworm have not only reduced the incidence ofthe pest in cotton fields, but also in neighboring fields of corn,soybeans, and other crops.
Rice - Genetically modified to contain high amounts ofVitamin A. Rice containing human genes is to be grown in the US. Ratherthan end up on dinner plates, the rice will make human proteins usefulfor treating infant diarrhoea in the developing world.
Soybean - Genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides- Soy foods including, soy beverages, tofu, soy oil, soy flour,lecithin. Other products may include breads, pastries, snack foods,baked products, fried products, edible oil products and special purposefoods.
Sugar cane - Made resistant to certain pesticides. A largepercentage of sweeteners used in processed food actually comes fromcorn, not sugar cane or beets. Genetically modified sugar cane isregarded so badly by consumers at the present time that it could not bemarketed successfully.
Tomatoes - Made for a longer shelf life and to prevent a substance that causes tomatoes to rot and degrade.
Corn - Resistant to certain pesticides - Corn oil, flour,sugar or syrup. May include snack foods, baked goods, fried foods,edible oil products, confectionery, special purpose foods, and softdrinks.
Sweet corn - genetically modified to produces its owninsecticide. Officials from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)have said thatthousands of tonnes of genetically engineered sweetcornhave made their way into the human food supply chain, even though theproduce has been approved only for use in animal feed. RecentlyMonsanto, a biotechnology food producer, said that about half ofthe USA's sweetcorn acreage has been planted with genetically modifiedseed this year.
Canola - Canola oil. May include edible oil products, fried foods, and baked products, snack foods.
Potatoes - (Atlantic, Russett Burbank, Russet Norkatah, andShepody) - May include snack foods, processed potato products and otherprocessed foods containing potatoes.
Flax - More and more food products contain flax oiland seed because of their excellent nutritional properties. Nogenetically modified flax is currently grown. An herbicide-resistant GMflax was introduced in 2001, but was soon taken off the market becauseEuropean importers refused to buy it.
Papaya - The first virus resistant papayas were commerciallygrown in Hawaii in 1999. Transgenic papayas now cover about onethousand hectares, or three quarters of the total Hawaiian papaya crop.Monsanto, donated technology to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University,Coimbatore, for developing a papaya resistant to the ringspot virus inIndia.
Squash - (yellow crookneck) - Some zucchini and yellow crookneck squash are also GM but they are not popular with farmers.
Red-hearted chicory - (radicchio) - Chicory (Cichoriumintybus var. foliosum) is popular in some regions as a salad green,especially in France and Belgium. Scientists developed a geneticallymodified line of chicory containing a gene that makes it male sterile,simply facilitating the production of hybrid cultivars. Today there isno genetically modified chicory on the market.
Cotton seed oil - Cottonseed oil and linters. Products mayinclude blended vegetable oils, fried foods, baked foods, snack foods,edible oil products, and smallgoods casings.
Tobacco -The company Vector has a GMO tobacco being soldunder the brand of Quest® cigarettes in the U.S. It is engineered toproduce low or no nicotine.
Meat - Meat and dairy products usually come from animals that have eaten GM feed.
Peas - Genetically modified (GM) peas created immuneresponses in mice, suggesting that they may also create seriousallergic reactions in people. The peas had been inserted with a genefrom kidney beans, which creates a protein that acts as a pesticide.
Vegetable Oil - Most generic vegetable oils and margarinesused in restaurants and in processed foods in North America are madefrom soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed. Unless these oils specificallysay "Non-GMO" or "Organic," it is probably genetically modified.
Sugarbeets - May include any processed foods containing sugar.
Dairy Products - About 22 percent of cows in the U.S. are injected with recombinant (genetically modified) bovine growth hormone (rbGH).
Vitamins - Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is often made from corn,vitamin E is usually made from soy. Vitamins A, B2, B6, and B12 may bederived from GMOs as well as vitamin D and vitamin K may have"carriers" derived from GM corn sources, such as starch, glucose, andmaltodextrin.
How can the public make informed decisions about geneticallymodified (GM) foods when there is so little information about itssafety?
According to the FDA and the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA), there are over 40 plant varieties that have completed all ofthe federal requirements for commercialization.
Future planned applications of GMOs are diverse and may includedrugs in foods, for example, bananas that produce human vaccinesagainst infectious diseases such as Hepatitis B, metabolicallyengineered fish that mature more quickly, fruit and nut trees thatyield years earlier, and plants that produce new plastics with uniqueproperties.
"History has many records of crimes against humanity, which werealso justified by dominant commercial interests and governments of theday. Despite protests from citizens, social justice for the common goodwas eroded in favour of private profits. Today, patenting of life formsand the genetic engineering which it stimulates, is being justified onthe grounds that it will benefit society, especially the poor, byproviding better and more food and medicine. But in fact, bymonopolising the 'raw' biological materials, the development of otheroptions is deliberately blocked. Farmers therefore, become totallydependent on the corporations for seeds." - Professor Wangari Mathai.
到底有没有害？听听美国医生怎么说
文/蒋高明
笔者最近发表或转载了对转基因作物商业化种植的多篇质疑文章，受到大部分网友的热烈响应，也遭到少数转基因拥护者的人身攻击。鲁迅说过，谩骂不是战斗。要有利于问题澄清，需要拿出理智的数据来，或多写一些客观公正的科普文章，让公众有判断的能力。
任何东西有利也有害，老祖宗造「利害」这个词汇的时候，利在前，害就在其后的。支持转基因的人只说好处不说害处是不科学的；反对转基因者只说害处不说好处也同样不是科学的态度。现在的问题是，支持转基因主粮商业化的专家，只字不提它的负面作用，对其问题是笔者学宏观生物学即生态学的人提出来的，可能有些观点是说不到点子上去的，还需学众多专家不断完善补充。任何事情都是有矛盾的，有正就有反，有天就有地，有男就有女，有好处也有害处，有转基因就有反转基因。而转基因的逻辑就是与生态的逻辑相反的，因此，生态学家来质疑就是十分正常的事情；同样的道理，生物技术专家来质疑生态学家的做法也是正常的。
当然，我们渴望转基因的人自己指出转基因主粮商业化种植的缺点来。这个缺点与优点比较一下，还值不知道国家推广？而不能为了推广，有意不说该技术的问题。关于转基因作物的一些潜在风险，笔者从欧美发达国家听到的声音最多，几乎没有中国科学的家的证据，这似乎是不正常的。在转基因主粮问题上，毕竟中国是第一个吃螃蟹的，多一些争议可能是好的。真理是不怕辩论的。
其中一个双方都不能说清楚的问题是，转基因食物对人体到底有没有影响？是不是真的像有些专家说的那样「虫子不能吃，人可以放心吃」；普通人需要「吃转基因稻米657年」才可能吃出问题来呢？让我们来听听美国医生怎么说。
当然，笔者但愿这篇文章是美国人为了阻碍中国转基因事业发展，是别有用心的伪造出来的。中国科学家一向迷信美国的，如果这是真的，需要有个说法，需要中国的医学界来判断，文中的观点是不是在忽悠人？

医生警告：避开转基因食品
作者杰弗里·史密斯 Jeffrey M. Smith
美国科学院环境医学指出：「转基因食品没有得到很好的测试，并造成严重的健康风险。转基因食品和健康的不利影响之间不是了无关系的，实则存在因果的关系。」
今年5月，美国科学与环境医学会（AAEM）呼吁「可能的话，医生要教育病人，医疗界，和市民大众，避免转基因（基因改造）食品，及提供有关转基因食品和健康风险的教育材料。」他们呼吁暂停食用转基因食品，作一个长期的独立研究和作食物标签。
AAEM的立场文件中指出，「一些用动物的研究指出食用转基因食品有严重健康的风险。」包括不育，免疫问题，加速老化，胰岛素的调节，和主要脏腑及胃肠系统的改变。他们得出结论：「转基因食品和健康的不利影响之间不是了无关系的，实则存在着因果的关系。」以科学公认的标准性定义：「转基因食品和疾病两者之间的紧密联系和一致性，在多次动物研究中已被证实。」
越来越多的医生已经处方无转基因食物（给病人）。密歇根州的内科专家的艾米院长院士，又是董事会成员的AAEM，说：「我强烈建议病人完全食用非转基因食品。」俄亥俄州过敏症专家约翰博伊斯博士说：「我过去一直测试大豆引起的过敏，但现在（测试）的是转基因大豆，这种大豆是非常危险的，我告诉人们不要吃它。」
身为AAEM主席的珍妮阿姆斯朗博士，说：「医生可能在病人身上看到这些影响，但需要知道如何提出正确的问题。」世界著名生物学家普什帕米巴尔加更进一步，他在审查了600多个科学期刊，他得出结论认为：转基因生物（GMOs）是令至美国人健康急剧恶化的一大因素。
索尔克研究所的生物学家戴维舒伯特警告说，「在人口中，儿童是最有可能受到毒素和其它与转基因食品有关的饮食问题所伤害到。」。他说，「在没有足够的研究下，孩子们就成了「作为实验的动物。」
真正用转基因食物喂饲实验中的动物的经历，实在是叫人害怕的。当用基因大豆喂雌性大鼠，它们大多数的婴儿在三个星期内死亡，与用天然大豆喂食的大鼠作比较的话，它的死亡率就有10％的高。转基因食物喂养的婴儿亦较细小，后来怀孕也有问题出现。
当雄性老鼠喂食转基因大豆后，其睾丸实际上改变了颜色：从粉红色的正常色转至深蓝色。老鼠喂食转基因大豆就已经改变了年轻的精子。甚至是用转基因食物喂养的母鼠体内的胚胎的基因（DNA）亦有重大的改变。奥地利政府用老鼠喂食转基因玉米的研究，也发现它们所产的下一代不但数量少，而且体形也小于正常的幼鼠。
生殖问题也困扰着牲畜。印度在哈里亚纳邦的调查表明，大多数吃了转基因棉籽的水牛有并发症，如早产，流产，不育，并子宫脱垂。许多小牛死亡。在美国，大约24个农民报告说成千上万只猪吃了转基因玉米品种后成了不能生殖的，一些服用后出现假怀孕，有的生下袋水。奶牛和公牛进食了相同的玉米也成为不育。
为产生毒素而设计的食物
在每个细胞中，转基因玉米和棉花已被策划设计生产出自己内置的农药。当虫咬（转基因）植物时，（植物）内里的毒会令它的胃裂开而至死。生物技术公司声称，被称为Bt（这是从土壤细菌叫苏云金芽孢杆菌生的）的农药，有一个安全使用的历史，因为有机农民和其它农民也使用Bt细菌喷雾控制自然害虫。然而，由转基因植物被设计出来的Bt毒素，比在自然喷雾中的Bt毒素，浓度是要大几千倍，有过敏原体的特性，不像喷雾，不能从植物中洗除掉。
此外，研究证实，即使是毒性较低的天然细菌喷雾也是有害的。当为了杀死在西北太平洋地区上空的『吉普赛飞蛾』，而用飞机散播喷雾时，约有500人报导说出现过敏或类似流感的症状，有些人更要入急诊室。在印度的各地农场上的工人，在处理Bt棉花上，现在出现了完全相同的症状。2008年，根据医疗记录，『星期日印度』报告，说「由BT棉的种植而导至的瘙痒受害者，正大量地增加。」
美国科学与环境医学指出：「多项动物研究显示出重大的免疫调节失调，」包括细胞激素（cytokines）的增加，它们又与哮喘，过敏和发炎有关，都在美国节节上升。
根据转基因食品安全专家阿帕德普兹泰博士，在所有的研究中，转基因动物的免疫状况改变，是「一贯的特点。」即使『孟山都』自己的研究也表明：Bt玉米喂养的大鼠的免疫系统有着显著的改变。由意大利政府于2008年11月所作的研究，亦发现老鼠的免疫对Bt玉米有反应。
转基因大豆和玉米每一个包含两个具有过敏性质的新蛋白质，转基因大豆有高达7倍以上的胰蛋白酶抑制剂，是已知大豆过敏原。皮肤点刺试验表明有些人对转基因有反应，而对非转基因大豆没有反应。转基因大豆被首次进入英国后不久，大豆过敏急升了50％。也许美国流行着食物过敏和哮喘是一种遗传基因操纵的结果。
在印度，一直以来，当棉花收获后，动物采食其植物。但是，当有牧羊人让其羊群吃转基因棉花植株（内有Bt），数以千计的羊死亡。验尸结果显示肠和肝脏有过严重的刺激和黑色像补丁的小块（以及扩大了的胆管）。调查人员说，初步证据显示出「有力地表明，羊的死亡率是由于毒素，极可能是转Bt毒素（所造成）。」在德干发展协会的一个小的后续跟进的喂养试验行动中，所有喂过Bt转基棉植物的羊30天内全部死亡，而那些吃天然棉花植物的羊保持健康。
在安得拉邦的一个小村庄里，那里的水牛吃棉花植物8年没有发生任何事件。在2008年1月3日，水牛首次吃了含有Bt棉花的植物后，所有13只水牛第二天便生病了，跟着3天内全部死亡。 Bt玉米也牵涉在德国母牛的死亡，和菲律宾的马，水牛，和鸡的死亡中。
在实验室研究中，很多鸡喂了『自由链接』（Liberty Link）玉米死亡，20个中有7只喂食转基因西红柿的大鼠发展出胃出血，另外40只中有7只两个星期内死亡。根据法国毒物学家G.E.Seralini，『孟山都』自已的研究亦证明，Bt玉米喂养的大鼠，其主要内脏有中毒的现象。
最令人忧心的调查结果：所有转基因生物残留在内我们体内
唯一已公布的入体喂食转基因的研究显示出转基因食物中可能是最危险的问题。插入到转基因大豆里的基因转移到生活在我们肠道的细菌的DNA里面去，并继续发挥作用。这意味着吃了之后，我们虽然不吃转基因食物，在我们体内仍然不断产生有潜在之害的基因蛋白质。说透彻一点，吃Bt玉米所造成的玉米片，会把我们的肠道细菌转变成生活着的农药制造厂，可能直至我们死为止。
当在美国的各地的医疗会议宣告基因转移的证据时，医生们往往响应他们的病人在过去十年中，有着大幅增加的胃肠道的问题。转基因食品可能正在北美人民的肚子中殖民了。
科学家，即使在90年代初，已在美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）提出对所有这些问题的警告。根据从一起诉讼所公布的文件，该机构的科学共识是：转基因食品是有内在的危险，并可能制造出难以检测的过敏，毒药，基因转移到肠道菌群，新的疾病和营养问题。他们敦促他们的上司，要求做严格的长期测试。但是，白宫下令该机构要促进生物技术，药物管理局作出反应，招募了迈克尔泰勒，孟山都的前律师，来领导形成转基因的政策。这一政策，也就是在今天实行的政策，否认了科学家关注上的共知（即上面那些共知点），并宣布，任何转基因生物安全性的研究都是不需要的，食品的安全与否全由孟山都和其它生物技术公司来决定。泰勒先生后来成为孟山都的副总裁。
美国科学与环境医学指出：「转基因食品没有得到正确的测试」和「造成严重的健康风险。」没有一个人类的临床转基因生物试验的报告被出版过。在2007年出版的科学文献在「潜在的毒性作用/转基因植物的健康风险」的评论文献中透露「实验的数据是非常的不足够。」作者在评论中用询问作结论：「有哪里的科学证据去证明，正如生物技术公司自己所假设的一样：转基因植物/食物的毒性是安全的呢？」
加拿大著名的遗传学家戴维铃木就此事作回应：「实验根本就没有做，我们现在已成为小白鼠。」他更补充说，「任何人说，噢，我们知道这是绝对安全的。我会说：要么就是令人难以置信的愚蠢，或故意地在说谎。」
舒伯特博士指出，「如果有问题，我们可能永远不会知道，因为事情的源头不可能追查得到，许多疾病是需要很长的时间才发展起来的。」如果转基因生物（GMOs）引起急性的症状而带有一个独特的签名，那么也许我们会有机会追查得到原因。
例子就如发生在美国80年代后期的一场流行性疾病。疾病迅速展开，致命的，造成了一个在血液中独特的可衡量的变化，但还仍花了四年多的时间，去确定是否发生疫情。到那时，它已杀了大约100个美国人，造成5,000-10,000人生病、或成为终身的残疾。这场流行性疾病是由基因工程制造的，是补充食品品牌名为L -色氨酸所引起的。
如果其它基因改造食物是引至自闭症，肥胖症，糖尿病，哮喘，癌症，心脏病，过敏，生殖问题的增加，或任何其它常见而且现正困扰美国人健康的问题，我们可能永远不会知道。事实上，由于转基因生物的喂养有这样多种多样的问题，易感染的人群会作出对转基因食品的多种病症。因此，清楚了，在1996年第一次大规模引进转基因作物的9年后，患有3个或以上的慢性疾病的人，几乎增加了一倍，从7％至13％。
为了帮助确定是否转基因生物造成危害，AAEM要求他们的「成员，医学界和独立的科学界，收集有关转基因食品的食用和对健康的影响的资料个案，开始调查转基因食品对人类健康所化演的角色和安全的流行病学的研究，和进行确定转基因食品对人体健康影响的安全方法。「
市民可以采纳医生的建议，避开转基因食品，而不必等待出来的结果。人们可远离任何大豆或玉米与衍生物，棉籽和油菜籽油，糖的转基因甜菜，除非它说：『有机』或「非转基因。」
就算一小部分人选择了非转基因品牌，食品工业可能会如他们响应欧洲时一样，就是移除所有的基因改造成分。因此，美国科学与环境医学的非转基因处方，对于美国的食品供应，可能是一个分水岭。
杰弗里·史密斯，是Institute for ResponsibleTechnology的行政总裁，是对转基因生物的健康危险的领先的发言人。他的第一本书，种子的欺骗，是说及这领域世界上最畅销的一本书。他的第二本，遗传轮盘：记录的健康风险的转基因食品，确定了65种转基因生物的风险，并显示政府如何肤浅的批准和没有能力找到他们。他邀请生物技术产业对每一个风险作出书面证据的答复，但正确预测他们会拒绝接受，因为他们没有数据显示，其产品是安全的。

Doctors Warn Avoid Genetically Modified Food
By Jeffrey M. Smith
7-22-9
The American Academy of Environmental Medicinestates,"Genetically Modified foods have not been properly tested andpose a serious health risk. There is more than a casual associationbetween GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation."
LastMay the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) called on"Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community, and thepublic to avoid GM (genetically modified) foods when possible andprovide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks."They called for a moratorium on GM foods, long-term independentstudies, and labeling.
AAEM's position paper stated,"Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated withGM food," including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging,insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and thegastrointestinal system. They conclude, "There is more than a casualassociation between GM foods and adverse health effects. There iscausation," as defined by recognized scientific criteria. "The strengthof association and consistency between GM foods and disease isconfirmed in several animal studies."
More and moredoctors are already prescribing GM-free diets. Dr. Amy Dean, a Michiganinternal medicine specialist, and board member of AAEM says, "Istrongly recommend patients eat strictly non-genetically modifiedfoods." Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles says "I used to test for soyallergies all the time, but now that soy is genetically engineered, itis so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it."
Dr.Jennifer Armstrong, President of AAEM, says, "Physicians are probablyseeing the effects in their patients, but need to know how to ask theright questions." World renowned biologist Pushpa M. Bhargava goes onestep further. After reviewing more than 600 scientific journals, heconcludes that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a majorcontributor to the sharply deteriorating health of Americans.
Amongthe population, biologist David Schubert of the Salk Institute warnsthat "children are the most likely to be adversely effected by toxinsand other dietary problems" related to GM foods. He says withoutadequate studies, the children become "the experimental animals."
Theexperience of actual GM-fed experimental animals is scary. When GM soywas fed to female rats, most of their babies died within threeweeks-compared to a 10% death rate among the control group fed naturalsoy. The GM-fed babies were also smaller, and later had problemsgetting pregnant.
When male rats were fed GM soy, theirtesticles actually changed color-from the normal pink to dark blue.Mice fed GM soy had altered young sperm. Even the embryos of GM fedparent mice had significant changes in their DNA. Mice fed GM corn inan Austrian government study had fewer babies, which were also smallerthan normal.
Reproductive problems also plaguelivestock. Investi-gations in the state of Haryana, India revealed thatmost buffalo that ate GM cottonseed had complications such as prematuredeliveries, abortions, infertility, and prolapsed uteruses. Many calvesdied. In the US, about two dozen farmers reported thousands of pigsbecame sterile after consuming certain GM corn varieties. Some hadfalse pregnancies; others gave birth to bags of water. Cows and bullsalso became infertile when fed the same corn.
Food Designed to Produce Toxins
GMcorn and cotton are engineered to produce their own built-in pesticidein every cell. When bugs bite the plant, the poison splits open theirstomach and kills them. Biotech companies claim that the pesticide,called Bt (produced from soil bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis) has ahistory of safe use, since organic farmers and others use Bt bacteriaspray for natural insect control.
The Bt-toxin producedin GM plants, however, is thousands of times more concentrated thannatural Bt spray, is designed to be more toxic, has properties of anallergen, and unlike the spray, cannot be washed off the plant.
Moreover,studies confirm that even the less toxic natural bacterial spray isharmful. When dispersed by plane to kill gypsy moths in the PacificNorthwest, about 500 people reported allergy or flu-like symptoms. Somehad to go to the emergency room. The exact same symptoms are now beingreported by farm workers throughout India who have handled Bt cotton.In 2008, based on medical records, the Sunday India reported, "Victimsof itching have increased massively this year related to BT cottonfarming."
American Academy of Environmental Medicinestates, "Multiple animal studies show significant immunedysregulation," in-cluding increase in cytokines, which are "associatedwith asthma, allergy, and inflammation"-all on the rise in the US.
Accordingto GM food safety expert Dr. Arpad Pusztai, changes in the immunestatus of GM animals are "a consistent feature of all the studies."Even Monsanto's own research showed significant immune system changesin rats fed Bt corn. A November 2008 study by the Italian governmentalso found that mice have an immune reaction to Bt corn.
GMsoy and corn each contain two new proteins with allergenic properties,GM soy has up to seven times more trypsin inhibitor-a known soyallergen-and skin prick tests show some people react to GM, but not tonon-GM soy. Soon after GM soy was introduced to the UK, soy allergiesskyrocketed by 50%. Perhaps the US epidemic of food allergies andasthma is a casualty of genetic manipulation.
In India,animals graze on cotton plants after harvest. But when shepherds letsheep graze on Bt cotton plants, thousands died. Post mortems showedsevere irritation and black patches in both intestines and liver (aswell as enlarged bile ducts). Investigators said preliminary evidence"strongly suggests that the sheep mortality was due to a toxin mostprobably Bt-toxin." In a small follow-up feeding study by the DeccanDevelopment Society, all sheep fed Bt cotton plants died within 30days; those that grazed on natural cotton plants remained healthy.
Ina small village in Andhra Pradesh, buffalo grazed on cotton plants foreight years without incident. On January 3rd, 2008, the buffalo grazedon Bt cotton plants for the first time. All 13 were sick the next day;all died within 3 days. Bt corn was also implicated in the deaths ofcows in Germany, and horses, water buffaloes, and chickens in thePhilippines.
In lab studies, twice the number ofchickens fed Liberty Link corn died; 7 of 20 rats fed a GM tomatodeveloped bleeding stomachs; another 7 of 40 died within two weeks.Monsanto's own study showed evidence of poisoning in major organs ofrats fed Bt corn, according to top French toxicologist G. E. Seralini.
Worst Finding of All-GMOs Remain Inside Us
Theonly published human feeding study revealed what may be the mostdangerous problem from GM foods. The gene inserted into GM soytransfers into the DNA of bacteria living inside our intestines andcontinues to function. This means that long after we stop eating GMOs,we may still have potentially harmful GM proteins produced continuouslyinside of us. Put more plainly, eating a corn chip produced from Btcorn might transform our intestinal bacteria into living pesticidefactories, possibly for the rest of our lives.
Whenevidence of gene transfer is reported at medical conferences around theUS, doctors often respond by citing the huge increase ofgastrointestinal problems among their patients over the last decade. GMfoods might be colonizing the gut flora of North Americans.
Scientistsat the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had warned about all theseproblems even in the early 1990s. According to documents released froma lawsuit, the scientific consensus at the agency was that GM foodswere inherently dangerous, and might create hard-to-detect allergies,poisons, gene transfer to gut bacteria, new diseases, and nutritionalproblems. They urged their superiors to require rigorous long-termtests. But the White House had ordered the agency to promotebiotechnology and the FDA responded by recruiting Michael Taylor,Monsanto's former attorney, to head up the formation of GMO policy.That policy, which is in effect today, denies knowledge of scientists'concerns and declares that no safety studies on GMOs are required. Itis up to Monsanto and the other biotech companies to determine if theirfoods are safe. Mr. Taylor later became Monsanto's vice president.
AmericanAcademy of Environmental Medicine states, "GM foods have not beenproperly tested" and "pose a serious health risk." Not a single humanclinical trial on GMOs has been published. A 2007 review of publishedscientific literature on the "potential toxic effects/health risks ofGM plants" revealed "that experimental data are very scarce." Theauthor concludes his review by asking, "Where is the scientificevidence showing that GM plants/food are toxicologically safe, asassumed by the biotechnology companies?"
FamedCanadian geneticist David Suzuki answers, "The experiments simplyhaven't been done and we now have become the guinea pigs." He adds,"Anyone that says, 'Oh, we know that this is perfectly safe,' I say iseither unbelievably stupid or deliberately lying."
Dr.Schubert points out, "If there are problems, we will probably neverknow because the cause will not be traceable and many diseases take avery long time to develop." If GMOs happen to cause immediate and acutesymptoms with a unique signature, perhaps then we might have a chanceto trace the cause.
This is precisely what happenedduring a US epidemic in the late 1980s. The disease was fast acting,deadly, and caused a unique measurable change in the blood-but it stilltook more than four years to identify that an epidemic was evenoccurring. By then it had killed about 100 Americans and caused5,000-10,000 people to fall sick or become permanently disabled. It wascaused by a genetically engineered brand of a food supplement calledL-tryptophan.
If other GM foods are contributing tothe rise of autism, obesity, diabetes, asthma, cancer, heart disease,allergies, reproductive problems, or any other common health problemnow plaguing Americans, we may never know. In fact, since animals fedGMOs had such a wide variety of problems, susceptible people may reactto GM food with multiple symptoms. It is therefore telling that in thefirst nine years after the large scale introduction of GM crops in1996, the incidence of people with three or more chronic diseasesnearly doubled, from 7% to 13%.
To help identify ifGMOs are causing harm, the AAEM asks their "members, the medicalcommunity, and the independent scientific community to gather casestudies potentially related to GM food consumption and health effects,begin epidemiological research to investigate the role of GM foods onhuman health, and conduct safe methods of determining the effect of GMfoods on human health."
Citizens need not wait for the resultsbefore taking the doctors advice to avoid GM foods. People can stayaway from anything with soy or corn derivatives, cottonseed and canolaoil, and sugar from GM sugar beets-unless it says organic or "non-GMO."
If even a small percentage of people choose non-GMObrands, the food industry will likely respond as they did in Europe-byremoving all GM ingredients. Thus, American Academy of EnvironmentalMedicine's non-GMO prescription may be a watershed for the US foodsupply.
Jeffrey M. Smith, Executive Director of theInstitute for Responsible Technology, is the leading spokesperson onthe health dangers of GMOs. His first book, Seeds of Deception is theworld's bestselling book on the subject.

He invited the biotech industryto respond in writing with evidence to counter each risk, but correctlypredicted that they would refuse, since they don't have the data toshow that their products are safe.

唉....
中糧的福臨門用料也是轉基因大豆和轉基因玉米了....
但是油脂尚可以選擇菜籽油或者動物油一類....
大米都轉基因真是無法了...這可是主食啊....
即便有標注「轉基因」，但是大米散裝的為多啊，控制根本沒辦法吧？看起來有得還，實際上呢...？！
福布斯前500企業中，中糧竟然是以貿易為標注類型的...不是農業而是貿易啊...農業去哪里了...？真的本末倒置了么...？A國的農場可是出口糧食的...我們呢？
國內的有多少糧食稅其實是收的錢，我們到底有多少存糧...？現在農村的土地豈止長草...都快長樹了....還在為了所謂的城鎮化而加速爭佔耕地....
一旦灾荒...一旦貿易受限...生存堪憂....
