Attention! Genetically modified foods can kill!

Relatively short 19th century brought to humanity refined foods, which led to the first artificially created problems with health. So, polished, over-cleaned rice led to massive vitamin deficiency in Asian countries, because of refined sugar, diabetes and atherosclerosis began to develop actively, and refining vegetable oil significantly lowered the nutritional value of the product.

Nowadays, based danger comes from the rapid development of biotechnology, it destroys the genetic basis of health not only of man, but of all natural ecological systems.

Genetically modified products cause in people massive allergic diseases, cancer and many new poorly studied diseases.

It all began with the fact that in the middle of the last century the English scientists Francis Creek and James Watson made a fateful discovery: all information about the future structure of the organism is stored in the DNA center of the cell nucleus. Immediately arose the assumption that changing the individual genes, you can change the common signs of living organisms.

In 1979, scientists were able to isolate the gene responsible for the synthesis of insulin for the first time and "built" it into the genetic code of E. coli, after which it began to synthesize insulin on its own. So there were the first genetically modified organisms - GMOs.

The creation of each new plant with altered genetics takes years of work and millions of dollars. They are produced with the help of a gene gun that "shoots" a special set: a gene with the desired trait, a gene that triggers the previous gene, and a special marker gene. If a set of such genes takes root, then the cells are germinated in a new plant.

The flagship of genetic engineering became the United States. So, in 1994 they grew a tomato with a genome of deep-sea flounder. These genetically modified foods can be stored for a long time, remaining green, and in the heat they become sharply saturated red.

Currently, more than a hundred lines of transgenic plants are grown in the world economy, including technical varieties of cotton and tobacco. The list of products with GMOs is led by soy - its share in the total production of transgenes is 98%. Next come corn, beet, rape, potatoes, tomatoes, wheat.

Genetically modified products in the fields are resistant to insect pests and resistant to aggressive chemicals against weeds. So receive exceptionally high yields of such plants.

The danger for ecosystems is that genes built into plants can kill not only pests, but also useful insects. Moreover, in the very process of embedding another's gene, bacteriophages, overactive artificial viruses and plasmids are involved that can penetrate the cell and get used to it. These transports transmit the altered genes and normal plants, causing uncontrolled horizontal gene transfer. This is the change and destruction of entire ecological systems.

Genetically modified products carry virus transporters into the human body, integrating into the genome and causing a general instability of the genetic structure. At the same time, a variety of genes are activated, not only responsible for cancer, but also for new unknown diseases. When eating foods with GMOs, a person actually infects himself with extremely aggressive artificial viruses.

Our organism perceives food proteins of genetically modified products as foreign, i.e. Allergenic. For example, soybean with a Brazil nut gene was created to improve soy protein. But people who were allergic to Brazil nuts, having tried this soy, received the strongest allergic reaction, even with a fatal outcome. Only after a number of dangerous cases, this soy with GMOs was withdrawn from sale.

Very often, genes that reduce sensitivity to antibiotics are used to obtain new crops. In the human body, this causes a rapid growth of pathogenic bacteria, which have exceptional resistance to any antibiotic.

In recent years, the world community has become aware of the real scale of the danger of genetically modified products. Now they are banned for sale in European countries, and manufacturers use them exclusively for implementation in third world countries. The only argument "for" that remained with such companies is large yields and the slogan "Genetic engineering will save the world from hunger". However, this statement remains a myth, since the problem of hunger is not solved by additional production, but by the correct distribution of food.

Therefore, be attentive to your diet, do not destroy your body on the genetic level, because even the ancient Greeks knew: "We are what we eat".
