Unless the rice you buy is certified organic, or comes specifically from a farm that tests its rice crops for genetically modified (GM) traits, you could be eating rice tainted with actual human genes. The only known GMO with inbred human traits in cultivation today, a GM rice product made by biotechnology company Ventria Bioscience is currently being grown on 3,200 acres in Junction City, Kansas — and possibly elsewhere — and most people have no idea about it. Since about 2006,Ventria has been quietly cultivating rice that has been genetically modified (GM) with genes from the human liver for the purpose of taking the artificial proteins produced by this “Frankenrice” and using them in pharmaceuticals. With approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Ventria has taken one of the most widely cultivated grain crops in the world today, and essentially turned it into a catalyst for producing new drugs.

Originally, the cultivation of this GM rice, which comes in three approved varieties (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/biotech_ea_permits.html), was limited to the laboratory setting. But in 2007,Ventriadecided to bring the rice outdoors. The company initially tried to plant the crops in Missouri, but met resistance fromAnheuser-Buschand others, which threatened to boycott all rice from the state in the event that Ventria began planting its rice within state borders (http://todayyesterdayandtomorrow.wordpress.com).

So Ventria‘s GM rice eventually ended up in Kansas, where it is presumably still being grown for the purpose of manufacturing drugs on 3,200 acres in Junction City. And while this GM rice with added human traits has never been approved for human consumption, it is now being cultivated in open fields where the potential for unrestrained contamination and spread of its unwanted, dangerous GM traits is virtually a given.

“This is not a product that everyone would want to consume,” said Jane Rissler from theUnion of Concerned Scientists(UCS) to theWashington Postback in 2007. “It is unwise to produce drugs in plants outdoors.”

Though receiving tens of thousands of public comments of opposition, many rightly concerned about the spread of GM traits, the USDA approved open cultivation of Ventria‘s GM rice anyway. This, of course, occurred after the U.S.Food and Drug Administration(FDA) had refused approval for Ventria‘s GM rice back in 2003 (http://www.kansasruralcenter.org/publications/PharmaRice.pdf).

GM ‘pharmaceutical’ rice could cause more disease, suggests report

Besides the threat of contamination and wild spread,Ventria‘s GM rice, which is purportedly being grown to help third-world children overcome chronic diarrhea, may conversely cause other chronic diseases.

“These genetically engineered drugs could exacerbate certain infections, or cause dangerous allergic or immune system reactions,” said Bill Freese, Science Policy Analyst at the Center for Food Safety (CFS), who published a report back in 2007 about the dangers of Ventria‘s GM rice.

Marius Șerban Odată cu intrarea într-o nouă stare de criză, după ce tocmai am ieșit din una de alertă, pentru că, nu-i așa, starea de continuă criză este singura formulă prin care mai poate fi controlată cât de cât o populație debusolată, anomizată, se vântură tot felul de versiuni de proiecte de lege, prin care, […]

Legea vaccinarii obligatorii a fost adoptata in UNANIMITATATE in comisia de santate din Camera Deputatilor. Adica au votat-o toate “partidele” politice, fara exceptie! Chiar daca au fost aduse sute de amendamente fata de varianta adoptata acum doi ani de Senat, ce sa vezi, s-a pastrat neatins un articol, cu ginion, articolul 13 care prevede la […]

Niciodata in intreaga sa istorie statul si poporul roman, atat cat a mai ramas, nu au fost atat de aprope de extinctie ca acum. Practic, acum se joaca viitorul Romaniei intr-un context politic international extrem de nefavorabil. Lipsa de reactie inseamna acum, pur si simplu, extinctie! Practic, toate partidele, cu exceptia Partidului Noua Romanie (PNR) […]

Partidul Noua Romanie (PNR) considera ca Justitia din Romania este una dintre cele mai corupte institutii publice, fapt confirmat de sondajele de opinie, deciziile contradictorii si arbitrare ale magistratilor avand repercursiuni catastrofale asupra oamenilor si decredibilizand semnificativ statul roman, si asa in disoulutie. PNR sustine cu tarie o lege prin care magistratii sa fie trasi […]

Partidul Noua Romanie (PNR), sustinut de Miscarea Civica Frontul Alfa, sustine ca este o problema de siguranta nationala, in contextul crizei economice fara precedent care va lovi Romania, confiscarea averilor ilicite, investigarea surselor averii afisate, cu precadere pentru demnitari si functionarii publici, audit pentru verificarea datoriei publice a Romaniei, reintroducerea pedepsei cu moartea si majorarea […]
