Potential Health Hazards Of Genetic Engineering Food

March 7th, 2012 | Posted by Amy in Organic Health
Tweet

Recently, the Journal of Applied Toxicology released an important study on damage done to human cells by GE food. The study shows genetically engineered food (GE) causes cellular damage. GE food contains bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) insecticide and the herbicide 'Roundup' glyphosate gene traits, which are dangerous and unsafe for the health. The toxins produced by Bt bacteria attached to GE food have destructive toxic effects on human cells. The study was conducted by R. Mesnage, E. Clair, S. Gress et al. The SmartStax seed varieties grown by farmers contain six different Bt toxins with more toxic protein content, which were developed jointly by US biotech giant Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences.  The Bt used in GE plants is not the Bt bacteria normally found in the soil rather they are genetically modified to be an extremely virulent more aggressive insect killing machine.
