Even organic foods are not GMO-free, industry leaders say
Those consumers who fear even the most minute amounts of genetically modified organisms in their meals will have to confront a nasty shock: even organic foods are not GMO-free, according to organic industry leaders.
At an organic conference this month at the University of Guelph, Dag Falck, who operates the organic program with Nature’s Path, a North American breakfast cereal and snack-bar producer, said it was time the organic industry was more honest with its labelling. Pollen and seeds from genetically modified crops often make their way onto organic farms — and there’s no test for what the organic industry terms “cross contamination,” or trace amounts of GMOs.
“Due to unavoidable, worldwide cross-pollination, no crop that has a GMO variant, no matter how regulated by the government can be guaranteed to be 100% GMO free,” Mr. Falck wrote in an email.
Anyone who eats such common staples as beet sugar, canola and corn — and that means just about everybody — will be exposed.
你就扯吧,foodbasic山一样高的加工食品,去看看消费人群,去看看他们的身材
至于餐馆,你知道经常吃饭店的人的身体状况吗。
莫斯特果然与众不同。Even organic foods are not GMO-free, industry leaders say

有道理!转基因食物可能激活"休眠病毒",这些病毒能够入侵任何细胞。
“一般来说生物学家并不认为病毒是“活的”。它们比细菌还小,细菌的大小在500至1500纳米左右,而病毒只有20至300纳米左右,而且它们无法自我复制——病毒需要入侵宿主细胞利用它们的基因工具辅助复制过程。现在科学家发现地球几乎被病毒统治了,目前存在的病毒大约有1044多,其中大约十分之一生活在海洋里。”
“病毒和其它系外细胞生命一样是值得推测的研究课题。其中的部分原因在于地球上病毒的研究——除去造成人类和动物疾病的病毒——仅仅开始于过去十年左右。正如斯特德曼所暗示的,研究病毒并非易事。“直到分子生物学历史记录的近些年,我们才获得能够辅助我们确定地球上病毒数量和多样性的分子工具。”格里芬说道。问题之一在于地球上的病毒已经进化出与特定宿主的共生关系,这便是为什么你不会从狗身上传染感冒,因为引起狗感冒的病毒已经进化得能够与犬类细胞共生,反之亦然。”
“因此想要细节的研究病毒,研究人员必须在实验室内培育宿主细胞——一般是细菌,而目前我们尚未鉴别出很多病毒的宿主细胞。这极大的减慢了对地球上大范围和多样化病毒的研究进程。美国图森市亚利桑那大学克里斯·殷匹(Chris Impey)教授这样说道。“由于培养大多数细菌物种的困难,我们仍然对大量细菌和病毒的共生关系一无所知。” ”
转基因食物把地球长期进化形成的“特定宿主的共生关系”打破,就象打开了潘朵拉盒子,以后各种人类闻所未闻,从未见过的疾病会接踵而至。
看你问这么久,也没有一个反转基因网友回答,我再帮你顶一下:各位,到底吃转基因食品有什么坏处啊?看大家一直在讨论转基因的事,因为不懂,所以也没加入,但一直很好奇,想问一下这里的大V,像香蕉(据说现在的香蕉好像都是单性的)、无籽西瓜、无籽葡萄是否都是转基因的。另外,到底吃转基因的食物有什么坏处啊?如果这些香蕉葡萄都是转基因的,那么以后得注意了。
人们对相同事物往往有不同的理解方式,对此我是习以为常了。不过,闹子兄从这个organic may not gmo free的信息,解读出莫斯特与众不同,让我有些意外,因为它”不科学”莫斯特果然与众不同。
印象里你似乎是CFC上反转基因们中唯一能够主动面对这个事实的,而其他那些人都只选择符合他们需要的东西,故意回避或歪曲不利他们的事实。
观点可以不同,但只有双方基于事实的讨论才是有实际的意义。否则,要么就是斗嘴,要么就是传谣和避谣,没有任何实际的观点讨论。
