GMO Scandal: The Long Term Effects of Genetically Modified Food on Humans

GMO Scandal: The Long Term Effects of Genetically Modified Food on HumansScientific Tests Must Be Approved by Industry FirstBy F. William EngdahlURL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14570Global Research, July 29, 2009One of the great mysteries surrounding the spread of GMO plants around the world since the first commercial crops were released in the early 1990's in the USA and Argentina has been the absence of independent scientific studies of possible long-term effects of a diet of GMO plants on humans or even rats. Now it has come to light the real reason. The GMO agribusiness companies like Monsanto, BASF, Pioneer, Syngenta and others prohibit independent research.An editorial in the respected American scientific monthly magazine, Scientific American, August 2009 reveals the shocking and alarming reality behind the proliferation of GMO products throughout the food chain of the planet since 1994. There are no independent scientific studies published in any reputed scientific journal in the world for one simple reason. It is impossible to independently verify that GMO crops such as Monsanto Roundup Ready Soybeans or MON8110 GMO maize perform as the company claims, or that, as the company also claims, that they have no harmful side effects because the GMO companies forbid such tests!That's right. As a precondition to buy seeds, either to plant for crops or to use in research study, Monsanto and the gene giant companies must first sign an End User Agreement with the company. For the past decade, the period when the greatest proliferation of GMO seeds in agriculture has taken place, Monsanto, Pioneer (DuPont) and Syngenta require anyone buying their GMO seeds to sign an agreement that explicitly forbids that the seeds be used for any independent research. Scientists are prohibited from testing a seed to explore under what conditions it flourishes or even fails. They cannot compare any characteristics of the GMO seed with any other GMO or non-GMO seeds from another company. Most alarming, they are prohibited from examining whether the genetically modified crops lead to unintended side-effects either in the environment or in animals or humans.The only research which is permitted to be published in reputable scientific peer-reviewed journals are studies which have been pre-approved by Monsanto and the other industry GMO firms.The entire process by which GMO seeds have been approved in the United States, beginning with the proclamation by then President George H.W. Bush in 1992, on request of Monsanto, that no special Government tests of safety for GMO seeds would be conducted because they were deemed by the President to be “substantially equivalent” to non-GMO seeds, has been riddled with special interest corruption. Former attorneys for Monsanto were appointed responsible in EPA and FDA for rules governing GMO seeds as but one example and no Government tests of GMO seed safety to date have been carried out. All tests are provided to the US Government on GMO safety or performance by the companies themselves such as Monsanto. Little wonder that GMO sounds to positive and that Monsanto and others can falsely claim GMO is the “solution to world hunger.”In the United States a group of twenty four leading university corn insect scientists have written to the US Government Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) demanding the EPA force a change to the company censorship practice. It is as if Chevrolet or Tata Motors or Fiat tried to censor comparative crash tests of their cars in Consumer Reports or a comparable consumer publication because they did not like the test results. Only this deals with the human and animal food chain. The scientists rightly argue to EPA that food safety and environment protection “depend on making plant products available to regular scientific scrutiny.” We should think twice before we eat that next box of American breakfast cereal if the corn used is GMO .F.

Once again the welfare and safety of the general populace is controlled by corporations driven solely by greed and gee what a surprise that Bush signed away our right to safe foods. It is all part of a plan to control us through and by food. Don't get me going on Codex Alimentarious, another plot for control, population control that is. I wish more people would do their homework about who is overseeing food safety and running WHO (World Health Organization), it would shock people who is planning our demise and fates.... Read up on Codex Alimentarious people if you want some little known knowledge. Especially read up on the history of the organization it will alarm you.... It will scare the bejeezers out of ya....Not that I advocate fear, just good to know the stuff that the powers that be do not want you aware of...

"Well I would not be surprised if his white kitty scratched him and made that scar.....Importantly, we know where he ended up......down a chimney stack in London...

"ok Drekx, but did you know Blofeld (Donald Pleasence as Ernst Stavro Blofeld in "You Only Live Twice") has his scratch being done to him by his cat? LOL"

"Ohh I dunno....!! 🤣 He looks pretty much like Ernst Blofeld to me, but the real question is, will he pass on his Emperor Ming costume to Peter, or get to keep it, when they appoint him the new Pope..?? (OK just kiddin, as even the Vatican won't have…"
