You'll soon be eating genetically engineered food & virus-filled meat!
The U.S. government is not a source you can trust for protecting your health. They come out every so many years with a new food pyramid based on whatever mainstream medicine tells them is healthy. This has done absolutely nothing to curb the sky-rocketing growth of terminal, crippling and life-shortening illnesses.
Modern medicine is no better. Doctors educated in medical schools that are virtually devoid of info about complementary or alternative medicine or the benefits of proper nutrition should not be in charge of your well-being.
The only one you can depend on for good health is YOU!
To back up these assertions, here are some recent news items I'd like you to digest.
Genetically engineered milk takes the place of breast milk
For decades, hospitals and doctors have discouraged new mothers from breast-feeding. Most doctors believe that breast-fed babies suffer from more childhood illnesses and are frequently undernourished. Supposedly, bottle-fed babies received better nutrition and better-quality nutrients because formula was filled with ALL the essential vitamins. In the 1960, '70s and '80s, women who breast-fed their babies were told they had to supplement breast milk with baby vitamins because their babies weren't getting enough vitamins and minerals! Manufacturers of formula were welcomed with open arms by hospitals and obstetricians and were encouraged to provide free samples of baby formula as well as coupons to save on future purchases.
Now, University of California (Davis) researchers have reported that bottle-fed infants typically have more gastrointestinal diseases than breast-fed babies. Instead of encouraging new mothers to breast-feed babies, they've come up with a way to supposedly alleviate or eliminate these diarrhea-related diseases through artificial means: genetically engineered goat's milk.
Scientists added lysozyme, an antibacterial component of human breast milk, to goat's milk and fed the formula to baby pigs. After feeding the pigs for 16 days, they found a reduction in coliform bacteria (which can cause diarrhea) in the pigs' intestines. With that as their basis, researchers believe they can give the same antidiarrheal protection to newborns as they would have gotten from breast milk.
While research is ongoing to determine if lysozyme can survive when the milk is converted to powdered form, there's a bigger question. Who will "donate" their newborn as a test for this formula? Women in Third World countries? Most of them breast-feed their babies. Why substitute bacteria-laced pasteurized goat's milk for breast milk? I understand that some women with AIDS cannot breast-feed, but I wonder if that's the real aim of this study. I believe we will see the milk tested on babies in poorer countries to determine if it's safe enough to feed to children in the U.S. That's because U.S. women would be up in arms if they were asked to donate their children as medical guinea pigs. Women from poor countries will be told a convincing story and will believe it.
Genetically engineered rice on your dinner table
Testing conducted by Germany discovered an unapproved genetically modified rice strain in a shipment to that country from the U.S. According to a report from the Associated Press, there are two genetically engineered types of long-grain rice that ARE acceptable for human consumption. The one discovered in the German shipment was a third one that is not approved. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture claims "There are no human health, food safety or environmental concerns associated with this [genetically engineered] rice."
Apparently, you've been eating genetically engineered rice, but the government hasn't bothered to make that common knowledge. Dabbling with the genetic code of something as simple as rice may seem harmless, but we have no idea what the end result is. There is insufficient testing with genetically modified/engineered food to determine what the harm will be down the road. As with pharmaceutical drugs, we've discovered problems we never anticipated because we couldn't imagine the interaction.
Government spraying your food with a virus
Another report from the Associated Press reveals that the Food and Drug Administration is spraying a "bacteria-killing virus" on processed meats (cold cuts, hot dogs and sausages). That's to prevent people from getting sick from the dangerous bacteria we allow in our foods!
The Centers for Disease Control claims that 2,500 people a year become seriously ill from the culprit bacterium (Listeria monocytogenes), with 500 of them dying. Does it make sense to treat the meat of an entire country because 2,500 people become ill? The addition of this virus is an admission by the FDA that they are incapable of ensuring a safe food supply.
As with all things in nature, there has to be a balance. What will become of the virus that kills the bacteria? Is it inert? Is it harmless? What happens if it's used improperly? The head of the company that makes the spray-on virus claims it's safe "as long as it is used in accordance with regulations." Just as with the addition of fluoride to our municipal water supplies, we should be ready for unsafe practices with the new spray-on virus. Accidents happen (and don't get reported), overdoses regularly occur because of poor training or because technicians don't care, and shoddy oversight by government inspectors often fail to identify health issues (which is why they want to use this stuff in the first place!).
What if we've made a mistake?
Our minds are not infinite. We cannot comprehend the interaction of experimental foods with our bodies. It could be years - even decades - before we know the effects. What then? We could pull the products from the market. What about the millions or hundreds of millions of people whose lives have been affected (or ended!) because we were impatient and wanted results now?
My family is staying clear of the products listed in today's blog. Why take a chance? After all, the government doesn't really care. If they do admit there's a problem, you'll be long dead before they do. Isn't that what happened with the soldiers exposed to agent orange in Vietnam? Over 30 years passed before they admitted culpability. Too little, too late.
