Yet
another disturbing reason has emerged as to why you should be avoiding
health-devastating genetically modified organisms, and it may be one of
the most concerning yet. We know that GMO consumption has been linked to
a host of serious conditions, but one thing we are not so sure about is
the recent discovery of a hidden viral gene deep within genetically modified crops.
For years, GMOs have been consumed knowingly and unknowingly around
the globe, with Monsanto and the United States government claiming that
the altered franken crops are perfectly safe despite very limited (or
virtually none in some cases) initial testing and scientists speaking
out against the dangers. One such danger that has actually not been
spoken about has been revealed in a recent report by a safety watchdog
group known as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Another Dirty Secret of Monsanto
In the EFSA report, which can be read online, you can find (within the scientific wording) that researchers discovered a previously unknown viral gene that is known as ‘Gene VI’.
What’s concerning is that not only is the rogue gene found in the most
prominent GMO crops and about 63% of GMO traits approved for use (54 out
of 86 to be precise), but it can actually disrupt the very biological functions within living organisms. Popular GMO crops such as Roundup-Ready soybeans, NK603, and MON810 corn were found to contain the gene that induces physical mutations. NK603 maize, of course, was also recently linked to the development of mass tumors in rats.
