Virus DNA hidden in GMO crops

122. HALLEH FREAKING LULYAH!!!

you just made my day!


They're tweaking a gene, getting more yields, and introducing it to nature where there's no do-overs - no Ctrl-Z. And making a lot of money. I suspect it will take some ecological disaster to get the general public to reconsider this trend.


unfortunately, the disasters are in the 3rd world...(see last link of this post for more)

this is their latest BS:

big M has decided to save the world AGAIN with 'golden vitamin A rice'
their study proving it has a lot of Vit A compares it to spinach,
which has a very small amount of not easily absorbable vit A.
i honestly think they believe laypeople will see the study and think 'oh spinach is good for you! wow!',
without realizing it has barely any Vit a.

if they had compared it to a mango, DUH.....

spinach BS study- (not that it is readable in the slightest- skip anything to do with equations if you try)

Objective: The objective was to compare the vitamin A value of
b-carotene in GR and in spinach with that of pure b-carotene in oil
when consumed by children.
Design: Children (n = 68; age 6–8 y) were randomly assigned to
consume GR or spinach (both grown in a nutrient solution containing
23 atom% 2H2O) or [2H8]b-carotene in an oil capsule. The GR
and spinach b-carotene were enriched with deuterium (2H) with the
highest abundance molecular mass (M) at Mb-C+2H10.

I MEAN WTF??????
Deuterium is used as a tracer, in nuclear fusion reactors and to slow down neutrons in heavy water moderated fission reactors.

this mention spinach, too, not even sure why...( i recommend ctrl-F)
Nearly 600,000 women die from childbirth-related causes
each year, many of them from complications which could be reduced through better
provisionof vitaminA (Sommer and West, 1996). The most affected are the
poor, whose diets are predominated by less nutritious staple foods on account of
lacking purchasing power and limited awareness.

the truth- (isn't the reason the poor are staving a bit..ironic? at least ^^ that study proves SOMETHING!)

The reason there is vitamin A deficiency in India in spite of the rich biodiversity a base and indigenous
knowledge base in India is because the Green Revolution technologies wiped out biodiversity by
converting mixed cropping systems to monocultures of wheat and rice and by spreading the use of
herbicides which destroy field greens.
