(This link is in German, but if you click translate you get the info.

A recent Testbiotech survey shows that DNA fragments from transgenic plants are increasingly found in animal tissue such as milk, inner organs and muscles. Most recently, in April 2010, scientists from Italy reported DNA sequences stemming from genetically engineered soy in milk from goats. These DNA fragments are presumably, entering the blood stream from the gut and then from there reaching the udder and the milk.

Shroomie, that link is really weird. It takes me to some sort of login page and looks almost like a phishing attempt. Did you make a copy/paste mistake or could someone have hacked your account and put a weird link in the post???

You are so right - hotmail has hijacked the link - I have removed it and will try to find it some other way (I received the info in hotmail) - darned Bill Gates :o

(Edit: I worked around it)

I almost wish you hadn't fixed that link. That article is downright terrifying. If the genes get into pigs and goats they are getting into humans. I've already been buying more organic food.

I'd love to know how many senators Monsanto has bribed to keep GMO food legal in the US. Maybe I'll write mine on the off chance it helps.

yes- i actually read somewhere a couple of weeks ago- that GMO food can cause Horizontal Gene Transfer-

it sounds like we're in a SciFi experiment... you could eat somd GMO soy- and then some of your stomach cells could adopt GMO soy DNA into it's own cell- SCARY

i believe Modified Food Starch does the same thing.

:angry:

No, it does not. The modification there is not genetic at all. In modifed food starch, the modification is the partial breakdown of the molecular structure. Nothing genetic is is added.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
