I was reading John Robbins book, "The Food Revolution" about an incident that happened not too long ago. It has to do with the topic of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). As a reminder, GMOs came into play in the late 70's and were created for a multitude of reasons. What hasn't changed since their inception is that playing with genetics is serious business....and a dangerous one!
There are those that say all the fear mongering about GMOs is overblown. The advocates for GMOs tell you that there have been over 25,000 trials of GM crops and there hasn't been one incident. That is why the government recognizes GMOs as no different than Non-GMO crops. But is that really true? Have there not been any incidents?
Dr. Jane Rissler, PhD in plant pathology and one of the leading authorities on environmental risks of GMO foods has a different view on the subject. The Dr. said that even though they didn't find anything harmful in those tests, the tests don't provide a track record of safety.
Enter a German Biotech company who developed a common soil bacterium, Klebsiella Planticula, which helps break down wood chips, corn stalks, wastes from lumber and produces ethanol at the same time. They were successful in getting this Klebsiella Bacterium to do exactly what they described. So the post process waste was then added to soil to make compost. They got the go ahead from the EPA to test the Bacterium at Oregon State University. The test was a success and were ready to roll out this product when a doctoral student named, Michael Holmes, decided to take some of the post processed waste and add it to living soil.
What happened next was not expected to happen. In a nutshell, the seeds that were planted in the soil mixed with Klebsiella all sprouted....but then they all died. The GM Klebsiella created a negative reaction to the soils micro-organisms which suppressed crucial soil fertility. Well there is a fungi named "Mycorrhysal" and what it does is help make nutrients available to the plants. Without this fungi in the soil no plant could survive. They discovered that when they introduced the Klebsiella into the soil it reduced the population of the Mycorrhysal in the soil.
So here is what the scientists discovered with this Klebsiella Bacterium. They discovered that the genetically modified bacteria was able to remain in the soil and would have been impossible to get rid of. Geneticist David Suzuki said, "The genetically engineered Klebsiella could have ended all plant life on this continent. The implications of this single case are nothing short of terrifying".
Imagine if they allowed this Klebsiella into the market place? Why are we fooling around with genetics when there are alternatives like Isagenix? Nutrient Dense Super Food that can not only sustain you, but improve your health at the same time. Stop ingesting GMOs at all costs because you have no idea what the effects will be 5, 10, 20 years from now. So do you still think this couldn't happen? The threat to our population is enough to scare the daylights out of you. Please pass on this post and maybe we can begin to make people aware of this very serious situation that faces us. If you are serious about your health then please take action today!!! Try our "7 Day Challenge" and start to feel good and SAFE.
