Toxicity Of GMO Foods

I just received a new email from Spilling the Beans regarding this new study which shows organ damage in rats and mice from GM corn and soybeans.

GMOs Linked to Organ Disruption in 19 Studies

A new paper shows that consuming genetically modified (GM) corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys

And this is surprising because......?

Not to you and me..

How vain and foolish to think we can just mess with this stuff without truly waiting for the long term consequences to be determined. This Pandora's box had the knot untied far too quickly. How do they undo this if it is even worse than this?

It is scary stuff. People are so smart they are stupid sometimes. :(

Soy is in so many things where you would not expect it to be, too.

I noticed it's now turning up a lot in this one brand of otherwise tasty snack bar that is gluten free. Why ? Do not the manufacturers realize that soy is a problem for a lot of celiacs and gluten intolerant people ? How about a few flavors without it, like before ?

I cannot say for certain it is the actual adding in of other genes, or the way the genetic modified crops are actually GROWN by dousing them and the ground with herbicide chemicals which do not break down completely as rapidly as they claim, but it has to be some sort of strange coincidence that it is very difficult now to find food with non GMO corn, and non GMO soy products, and the increased incidence of health problems ranging from auto immunity backfiring, to people gaining extra weight.

To me, the approval of animal foodstuffs with GMO components, such as sugar beets (the leftover pulp fiber is used in a LOT of livestock and pet feeds) and alfalfa, when the definition of "organic" says the animals such as dairy cows should be eating non GMO feeds, is really troubling.

It's all going to be ok. The gene manipulators are figuring out how to colorize our poo. The world will be all straightened out in no time...

Parents have long divined their child's health by reading the contents of toilets. But future humans who spot brightly colored poo could take it as a warning from genetically-engineered bacteria in their gut that they should go see a doctor.

Such a colorful scenario comes from the scientists and designers of E.Chromi, according to Co.Design. They transformed ordinary E. coli bacteria into biosensors that could change color in the presence of certain chemicals

It seems pretty obvious what will happen when they perfect this colorful poo.

Patient: Well doc, I completed all the standard tests for celiac disease, blood antibodies, endoscpoy with biopsy, and yogurt color detector. What's the verdict?

Doc: Yep, your antibodies were off the charts kid, the villi hit Marsh 4 and it all seems pretty clear except for one thing. According to the yogurt test, Your poo should be bright yellow with orange and green polka dots. Looks like you have IBS after all. Take this handful of pills each month and come back and see me in 10 years if you still have insurance and are still kickin.

Patient: Dang, I hate pills...

Yep. The real world is becoming pretty surreal. Unfortunately your scenario is much more likely to play out than the one where doctors finally get it and give us correct diagnoses. oh... and correct treatment as well. Looks like we are left to look out for ourselves. (feeling pretty cynical, I am!)

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
