SuperFood Detox Code Review AAEM has major concerns about the safety of food and animals which have DNA that has been tampered with. To those of us who don't have training in genetics, substituting a small gene for another may not seem major until you realize that humans and apes have about 98% similarity in their genes. There are just a few genes, comparatively speaking, which make a huge difference between a monkey and a human.
Mice who ate GM corn as a staple of their diet had fewer and smaller babies. In rats fed GM soy, more than half the babies died by the time they were three weeks old. The cells in the testicles also changed. When hamsters were fed GM soy for three generations, most of those in the 3rd generation could not reproduce. Taking larger animals, in India, thousands of sheep, goats and buffalo died after eating genetically modified cotton. True, we don't eat cotton, but there is something dangerous going on.
Other problems include greatly elevated levels of allergies, pre-cancerous cell growth in the lining of the stomach, lesions or sores in various organs, changes in the cells of the pancreas and liver among other problems. If this stuff is so bad for humans, why would the Food and Drug Administration FDA allow it. The answer, I'm sure, doesn't surprise you. It is simply money.
The bio-tech industry is huge. The FDA ignored their scientists, the ones they hired to advise them, who told them there needed to be long-term studies. Their very own scientists said you can't know what happens over the years when genetically modified organisms are introduced into the food chain. The bio-tech industry pulled out its muscle well supplied with money and the FDA caved in. They essentially said, Of course our scientists don't know as much as these wealthy corporations.
