Fwd: Genetically Engineered Foods to Avoid

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I was reading a book a little while ago, that was published in the 50's or so...

(Don't quote me, but it was definately an older publication) and it said the

biggest threat to our food source was the wax being put on fruits and

veggies....

Sigh.... makes one nostalgic for the good old days....

Be Well,

Misty

Here is a list of genetically engineered foods to avoid or boycott, along

with the harmful ingredients they contain:

 

Coca Cola (corn syrup and/or Aspartame)

Fritos (corn)

Green Giant Harvest Burgers (soy)

McDonald's French Fires (potatoes)

Nestle's chocolates (soy)

Karo Corn Syrup (corn)

NutraSweet (Aspartame)

Kraft Salad Dressings (canola oil)

Fleishmann's margarine (soy)

Similac Infant Formula (soy)

Land o' Lakes butter (BGH - Bovine Growth Hormones)

Cabot Creamery Butter (BGH)

 

Avoid all other conventional (not certified organic) tomatoes, potatoes,

corn, soy, canola oil, cotton seed oil, and yellow crook-neck squash. The

following items should only be consumed in an organic form to make sure they is

free of genetic engineering.

 

Tomatoes: genetically engineered with bacteria-derived kanamycin resistance

genes, antibiotic marker genes, viruses and DNA of flounder and North American

shellfish.

 

Potatoes: genetically engineered with wax moth insect DNA, genetically

engineered to produce its own pesticide internally with the DNA of bacillus

thuringiensis bacteria.

 

Corn: genetically engineered to tolerate high qualtities of the chemical

pesticide glufosinate, and genetically engineered with a virus and the DNA of

the bacteria bacillus thuringiensis.

 

Soy: genetically engineered and DNA-altered by Monsanto with bacteria; capable

of tolerating heavy doses of Monsanto's Roundup brand chemical pesticide

(glyphosate).

 

Yellow crook-neck squash: gene-spliced with two experimental viruses and

arbitrary marker genes, capable of causing unpredictable and unexpected effects.

 

Canola oil: genetically engineered and DNA-altered with California bay

turnip and various viruses and bacteria in order to produce high quantities of

lauric acid.

 

Cotton seed oil: genetically engineered and DNA-altered with Arabidopsis

bacteria and viruses to be able to withstand large applications of the chemical

pesticide bromoxynil. Bromoxynil causes birth defects in human beings.

 

Papaya: some have been genetically engineered.
