According
to Natural
News, on Monsanto's website, this multinational seed conglomerate makes
the claim that Bt toxin engineered into its genetically modified (GM) corn and
cotton crops is "naturally occurring" and poses no threat to
"humans, other mammals, birds, fish or beneficial insects." But a
closer look at the science reveals that Bt toxin can survive and replicate in
the human gut following ingestion, which begs the question: Should Monsanto and
other purveyors of GM crops bearing this transgenic trait be held responsible
for potential health damage caused by this patented pesticide?
Contrary
to industry claims, horizontal gene transfer and DNA absorption of GM crops
bearing the artificially engineered Bt trait can and does occur. A 2013 paper
published in the online journal PLOS ONE looked at this more in-depth,
revealing that DNA molecules from various substances can survive processing and
end up being absorbed into the bloodstream. This includes the controversial Bt
trait, which was designed to be self-replicating for the purpose of bursting
the intestines of pests, thus killing them.
"Blood
is not free of DNA," the paper explains. "[T]here are animal studies,
mainly focusing on the GMO issue, supporting the idea that small fragments of
nucleic acids may pass to the bloodstream and even get into various tissues.
For example, foreign DNA fragments were detected by PCR based techniques in the
digestive tract and leukocytes of rainbow trouts fed by genetically modified
soybean, and other studies report similar results in goats, pigs, and
mice."

Modern
"food" science, processed food and the chemical medicine industry all
thrive on one theory: If something doesn't make you sick or kill you within 24
hours, then it's "safe."
This
is simply not true. If you eat some fast food and get deathly sick 48 hours
later, from food poisoning, E. coli, Salmonella or artificial
hormone overload, it is becoming increasingly difficult to sue a company,
corporation or even government entity that is responsible for controlling,
manufacturing or regulating the safety of its production. The direct
correlation between food-borne and chemical-medicine-borne disease and disorder
seems to only boil down to whether or not your insurance covers the
catastrophe.
Now,
with vaccine manufacturers having their own court of law, with their own
judges, it's almost impossible to sue for vaccine injury and win. With Monsanto
having the biggest wallet in the world for paying attorneys to bury you in
court, most farmers whose organic farms get contaminated with GMOs, or who
become deathly sick from spreading Roundup around or walking through their
infected CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations), can do little to NOTHING
to get redemption, compensation or even their lives and farms back to normal.
