ABSTRACT. No direct evidence that genetically modified (GM) food may

represent a possible danger for health has been reported so far;

however, the scientific literature in this field is still quite poor.

Therefore, we carried out an ultrastructural morphometrical and

immunocytochemical study on hepatocytes from mice fed on GM soybean,

in order to investigate eventual modifications of nuclear components

of these cells involved in multiple metabolic pathways related to

food processing. Our observations demonstrate significant

modifications of some nuclear features in GM-fed mice. In particular,

GM fed-mice show irregularly shaped nuclei, which generally

represents an index of high metabolic rate, and a higher number of

nuclear pores, suggestive of intense molecular trafficking. Moreover,

the roundish nucleoli of control animals change in more irregular

nucleoli with numerous small fibrillar centres and abundant dense

fibrillar component in GM-fed mice, modifications typical of

increased metabolic rate. Accordingly, nucleoplasmic (snRNPs and SC-

35) and nucleolar (fibrillarin) splicing factors are more abundant in

hepatocyte nuclei of GM-fed than in control mice.

In conclusion, our data suggest that GM soybean intake can influence

hepatocyte nuclear features in young and adult mice; however, the

mechanisms responsible for such alterations remain unknown.

Frankenfoods, soy products, processed foods: garbage,

pure and simple. And all the " value added " in these

foods go right to the antichrist multinationals, and

out of your community.

Soy is a chelator of many nutrients your body

needs-sadly, the soy pulls out many of the nutrients

you're using it for. Soy has been foisted upon the

U.S. by big business, who first tried to sell it to

the " poor people, " but then, after THAT failed, went

after the yuppie/ high income market. Soy is a

ploy!!!!!!

Processed foods: remember a good rule of thumb:

long shelf life= short human life.
