Till now, scientists and multinational corporations promoting GM crops have maintained that Bt toxin poses no danger to human health as the protein breaks down in the human gut. But the presence of this toxin in human blood shows that this does not happen. Scientists from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, have detected the insecticidal protein, Cry1Ab, circulating in the blood of pregnant as well as non-pregnant women. They have also detected the toxin in fetal blood, implying it could pass on to the next generation. The research paper has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication in the journal Reproductive Toxicology.
Well something 'bad' had to be being used so as to make lettuce taste like pumpkin, and pumpkin taste like fish...etc Might wanna be careful what's being imported and consumed from China too! China's red threat: Exploding watermelons | Herald Sun China's red threat: Exploding watermelons A farmer shows a watermelon that burst in his rented greenhouse in Danyang city in eastern China's Jiangsu province. Picture: AP Source: AP FIELDS of exploding watermelons are creating havoc in China, and farmers overdosing their crops with growth chemicals are getting the blame. About 20 farmers around Danyang city in Jiangsu province have been affected, losing up to 45 hectares of melon, China Central Television said in an investigative report. The broadcaster described the watermelons as "land mines" and said they were exploding by the hectare in the Danyang area. Prices during the past year have prompted many farmers to jump into the watermelon market. All of those with exploding melons apparently were first-time users of the growth accelerator forchlorfenuron, though it has been widely available for some time. Watch the video here: .
