RNA from Rice Can Survive Digestion and Alter Gene Expression
September 22nd, 2011Via: Discover:
It’s no secret that having lunch messes with your biochemistry. Once that sandwich hits your stomach, genes related to digestion have been activated and are causing the production of the many molecules that help break food down. But a new study suggests that the connection between your food’s biochemistry and your own may be more intimate than we thought. Tiny RNAs usually found plants have been discovered circulating in blood, and animal studies indicate that they are directly manipulating the expression of genes.
Wow, sounds like a natural process that’s been around for a long, long time. Let’s fuck with it!
golden rice was one of the first GM crops back in ’00, little late for alot of people at this point.
This is one of the 50-some odd ‘concerns’ that Jefferey Smith documented in Genetic Roulette…that in nature, genes have a kind of “off switch” that prevents them mingling too far outside their genetic comfort zone. And therefore the first thing these monkey-scientists need to do when trying to cross, say, a cantaloupe with a fish (to improve the frost resistance of the fruit or some such), is to remove that “off switch”.
The corporate sponsored monkey-scientists insisted that this was perfectly ok because even though this was a clear and evident danger, our digestive acids would destroy everything and nothing would ever go wrong. Except that actually everyone of any Reason knew that wasn’t and couldn’t be true. So actually genetic cross-over has already being evidenced in human digestive tracts, and is the likely culprit for the explosion of food allergies & sensitivities in recent years.
