转基因玉米让你生病了吗?一个女人如何被告知流行的成分是她的失眠,头痛和慢性恶心的原因 Is GMO CORN making you sick? How one woman was told that the popular ingredient was the cause of her insomnia, headaches and chronic nausea Corn is in everything from take-away coffee cups to Vitamin E supplements Experts say that natural cross-pollination from genetically modified crops to organic crops means there is no such thing as GMO-free corn anymore By DAILY MAIL REPORTER PUBLISHED: 16:37 EST, 29 July 2013 | UPDATED: 16:50 EST, 29 July 2013 802 shares 29 View comments A woman who suffered from 'weird' symptoms like burning face rashes, pain in her joints, chronic fatigue, nausea, severe insomnia and a constant head cold, has opened up about her deteriorating health and how genetically modified c orn may be to blame. In an essay for Elle.com , Caitlin Shetterly, 37, explains how after nearly four years of frustrating doctor visits and no explanation in sight, the mother-of-one was diagnosed as having developed a reaction to genetically modified corn by allergist Paris Mansmann. But the MD's directive to strip all corn from her diet was harder than the Portand, Maine resident and author of Made for You and Me: Going West, Going Broke, Finding Home, could have ever imagined. Health risk: Caitlin Shetterly, 37, from Portland, Maine, suffered from face rashes, joint pain and a constant head cold; after four years of doctor visits, she was diagnosed as having developed a reaction to GMO corn Mr Mansmann’s advice was to eliminate all corn, even organic corn, because 'it's almost impossible to find a corn source in the U.S. that doesn’t have the in it,' he said. Many experts agree that because of cross-pollination via winds, birds, and bees, from genetically modified crops to organic crops, there is no such thing as GMO-free corn anymore. A desperate Mrs Shetterly , whose tight, achy joints meant that her hands froze into claws while she slept and hurt to uncurl in the morning, expected Mr Mansmann's recommended diet to be a cinch.

The bread that can help you get fitter, not fatter: Loaf contains SEVEN TIMES as much protein as regular bread - and it's full of Omega 3 too 'After all, how hard could it be to give up corn?' she wrote. 'The answer was: way harder than I imagined.' Corn popped up everywhere: in tea bags, juice, and cheese culture; it lined her take-away coffee cups and even plastic bags full of frozen vegetables. 'Almost everything my family used, no matter how piously natural and organic, had corn in it. It came under the guise of dozens of names like “xanthan gum,” “natural flavors,” “free-flowing agents,” “vitamin E,” “ascorbic acid,” “citric acid,” and “cellulose,” to name a few,' she explained. And because c orn is fed to animals whose meat and eggs she ate, and whose milk she drank, Mrs Shetterly had to restrict her diet to only vegetables, grains other than corn, grass-fed beef and dairy, and wild fish. 'Almost everything my family used, no matter how piously natural and organic, had corn in it' 'My husband and I threw ourselves into the corn-free diet with gusto: We began baking all our bread, we learned how to make our own flour tortillas and sweet treats like muffins and cakes. 'We eschewed anything premade and began gathering foods from local sources we could trust. I stopped taking every medicine or supplement with corn in it (which was most of them). Wherever I went, I took my own stainless-steel coffee cup.' Mr Mansmann estimated that it would take about four months of eliminating corn for the white blood cells called eosinophil - which were in overproduction thanks to the genetically modified corn's proteins, which were acting as allergens - to cycle out of Mrs Shetterly's body. But blaming genetically modified foods for any kind of health problem is controversial. Amal Assa’ad, MD, dismissed anxiety over the safety of genetically modified corn. 'What’s wrong with chemicals?' she asked. 'A lot of chemicals have helped us—a lot of medications are chemicals. ' produce better crops that have increased production, that are resistant to pesticides—crops that can feed the rest of the world.' Starting in the Eighties, the biotechnology giant Monsanto began to genetically alter corn to withstand its herbicide Roundup, so that weeds but be eradicated but not crops. Enlarge More transparency: Whole Foods Market announced this March that by 2018 everything it sells in the U.S. and Canada will be labeled to show customers genetically modified products The changes in the corn's DNA produce certain kinds of proteins that can act as allergens, provoking multisystemics disorders, such as Mrs Shetterly's, according to Mr Mansmann. 'It's important to understand that the proteins actually become systemic throughout the plant, so it cannot be washed off,' explained Dr Joseph Mercola, the author of the No-Grain Diet and The Great Bird Flu Hoax. 'Once you eat it, it ends up in your gut where it can wreak total havoc with your health, considering the fact that 80 percent of your immune system resides there and is dependent on a healthy ratio of good and bad bacteria.' Previously , Mrs Shetterly had tried everything from painkillers; elimination diets of nuts, soy, dairy and gluten; herbal supplements; iodine pills; hormone treatments; acupuncture; a meditation class and even a treatment of antibiotics for Lyme disease, but nothing worked. Caitlin Shetterly: The author explains how it took nearly four years of frustrating doctor visits for her diagnosis After four months of a corn-free lifestyle, her skin rashes began to dissipate. 'Then, slowly, my body stopped aching, and I could walk or even jog easily, for the first time in years,' she remarked. 'I started to have more energy, and I slept better at night. The head cold went away—poof—and I wasn’t going through a box of tissues a day. My hands became less stiff. 'I realized, in retrospect, that my frozen hands had been the hardest symptom to tolerate: I could barely button my son’s small shirts or apply a Band-Aid, which made me feel useless as a mother.' With the fairly widespread acceptance of genetically modified foods in the U.S., compared with Europe where they are banned in many countries, it seems the allergens are here to stay. But better labeling of such products is slowly increasing, helping thousands of people who suffer from such allergies. Whole Foods Market, for example, announced this March that by 2018 everything it sells in the U.S. and Canada will be labeled to show genetically modified organisms. But Mrs Shetterly's fight is far from over. ' Although Dr Mansmann told me that most people allergic to genetically modified corn can end up tolerating small amounts after a couple years of abstinence,' she wrote, 'each time I’ve dared cheat, I’ve awoken the next morning with a frozen left hand, a sore hip, and a facial rash.

The dispute involves consumers, farmers, biotechnology companies, governmental regulators, non-governmental organizations and scientists. The key areas of controversy related to genetically modified (GM) food are: risk of harm from GM food, whether GM food should be labeled, the role of government regulators, the effect of GM crops on the environment, the impact of GM crops for farmers, including farmers in developing countries, the role of GM crops in feeding the growing world population, and GM crops as part of the industrial agriculture system. There is broad scientific consensus that food on the market derived from GM crops pose no greater risk than conventional food. No reports of ill effects from eating GM food have been documented in the human population. Supporters of food derived from GMOs hold that food is as safe as other foods and that labels send a message to consumers that GM food is somehow dangerous. They trust that regulators and the regulatory process are sufficiently objective and rigorous, and that risks of contamination of the non-GM food supply and of the environment can be managed. They trust that there is sufficient law and regulation to maintain competition in the market for seeds, believe that GM technology is key to feeding a growing world population, and view GM technology as a continuation of the manipulation of plants that humans have conducted for millennia. Some advocacy groups such as Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund have concerns that risks of GM food have not been adequately identified and managed, and have questioned the objectivity of regulatory authorities. Opponents of food derived from GMOs are concerned about the safety of the food itself and wish for GMOs to be banned or at least labeled on the food packages of foods they are in. They have concerns about the objectivity of regulators and rigor of the regulatory process, about contamination of the non-GM food supply, about effects of GMOs on the environment, about industrial agriculture in general, and about the consolidation of control of the food supply in companies that make and sell GMOs, especially in the developing world. Some are concerned that GM technology tampers too deeply with nature. Other environmental groups, including The Nature Conservancy and former anti-GMO campaigner Mark Lynas support the use of GMOs as beneficial for the environment.

That's the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto's genetically modified corn. The study was published in The Food Chemical Toxicology Journal and was just presented at a news conference in London. The study has been deemed "the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GMO food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats." News of the horrifying findings is spreading fast, with even the mainstream media in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors; tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide. "Monsanto Roundup weedkiller and GMO maize implicated in 'shocking' new cancer study" wrote The Grocery, a popular UK publication. It reported, "Scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumors and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females." The Daily Mail reported, "Fresh row over GMO foods as French study claims rats fed the controversial crops suffered tumors." It goes on to say: "The animals on the GMO diet suffered mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and kidney damage. The researchers said 50 percent of males and 70 percent of females died prematurely, compared with only 30 percent and 20 percent in the control group." The Study The study, led by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, was the first ever study to examine the long-term (lifetime) effects of eating GMOs. You may find yourself thinking it is absolutely astonishing that no such studies were ever conducted before GMO corn was approved for widespread use by the USDA and FDA, but such is the power of corporate lobbying and corporate greed. Findings From The StudyHere are some of the shocking findings from the study: Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death. Rats that drank trace amounts of Roundup (at levels legally allowed in the water supply) had a 200% to 300% increase in large tumors. Rats fed GMO corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damage including liver damage and kidney damage. The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GMO corn that's grown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This is the same corn that's in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas and corn snack chips. The UK's Daily Mail is reporting on some of the reaction to the findingsFrance's Jose Bove, vice-chairman of the European Parliament's commission for agriculture and known as a fierce opponent of GMO, called for an immediate suspension of all EU cultivation and import authorisations of GMO crops. 'This study finally shows we are right and that it is urgent to quickly review all GMO evaluation processes,' he said in a statement. 'National and European food security agencies must carry out new studies financed by public funding to guarantee healthy food for European consumers.' Our analysis clearly reveals for the 3 GMOs new side effects linked with GMO maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system. We conclude that these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the new pesticides specific to each GMO corn. In addition, unintended direct or indirect metabolic consequences of the genetic modification cannot be excluded. Here Are Some Quotes From The Researchers About The Findings "This research shows an extraordinary number of tumors developing earlier and more aggressively - particularly in female animals. I am shocked by the extreme negative health impacts." - Dr Michael Antoniou, molecular biologist, King's College London. "We can expect that the consumption of GMO maize and the herbicide Roundup, impacts seriously on human health." - Dr Antoniou. "This is the first time that a long-term animal feeding trial has examined the impact of feeding GMO corn or the herbicide Roundup, or a combination of both and the results are extremely serious. In the male rats, there was liver and kidney disorders, including tumors and even more worryingly, in the female rats, there were mammary tumors at a level which is extremely concerning; up to 80 percent of the female rats had mammary tumors by the end of the trial." - Patrick Holden, Director, Sustainable Food Trust. http://foodmatters.tv/articles-1/gm-corn-linked-to-cancer-tumors THE STUDY ABSTRACT CAN BE READ HEREThe study is entitled, "A Comparison of the Effects of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health." and the abstract can be read here: http://www.biolsci.org/v05p0706.htm Source Link: h ttp://www.naturalnews.com/037249_GMO_study_cancer_tumors Brian Barackman · FJC The Feds should charge Monsanto with terrorism crimes, imprison all affiliated, confiscate all assets and use the money to rid the planet of GMO's.

They spread information that is untrue, they are a plague. This study proved little more then the fact that rats get tumors.

That said, read the stickers on produce. As noted in other posts, these will alert one to which is or is not GMO. And, of course, the ORGANIC labelling precludes these. Mary Shelley had it spot on, the Promethean monster does ultimately destroy it's maker. If we agree to use these products we collude with the likes of Monsanto.

There's not been any study that's gone beyond 90 days for gmo foods in the U.S. and Monsanto is full of politicians and law makers who work to keep the public in ignorance of these dangerous crops. Articles like this are a drop in the bucket to taking them down, but most people aren't going to read this or won't care if they do. It's sad that something which was created to nourish the body has been manipulated to do the opposite.

This is the same man that was in charge of FDA policy when GMO's were allowed into the US food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety. He had been Monsanto's attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA he became Monsanto's Vice President and chief lobbyist. Now Obama made him the senior advisor to the commissioner of the FDA.

Because I just read the article you posted and it's got nothing to do with this study. Mark Lynas (founder of an anti-GMO campaign) wasn't involved in the study. So what are you getting at? Like Marilyn said, I do wonder how much he was paid to now promote GMO foods :) Reply · · 8 January at 22:22 Kent Carla Zilliox - 5 Pillar Health Yes, it's safe to say eating Super Foods and doing a nutritional cleanse every so often is the new norm. If you are not doing this your body is collecting GMO's, toxins and other impurities, storing them in fat cells. Our calories and carbs we are eating are nutritionally bankrupt. They say on average a person who thinks they are eating "healthy" (fruits and veggies) they will consume a gallon of pesticides/herbicides/ fungicides annually. I've been on the best super food brand for the last year...what a change (weight loss, sleep, energy, Zest, etc.) Reply · 1 · · 8 January at 21:24 Kent Zilliox · Owner at Self Employed (Business) Actually, becoming the new norm in America, 65% of the planet cleanse regularly. As guess what...the USA is the most unhealthy, sickest industrialized country on Earth. 5% of the planets population and consumes over 50% of all pharmaceuticals sold!!! Big Pharma loves the USA! Reply · · 7 March at 01:09 Cathy Pagendarm Please wake up and see what is happening to your food and other supplies that we are using, called lotions, toothpaste, soaps, shampoo, chemical cleaners (Chemical Flu - check it out) and the list goes on. Grow your own food with organic seeds but make sure the company you get them from aren't owned by companies that produce seed - which are GMO's already. GMO's need to be "Labeled on the Food"!

This study has been discredited -- bad science. And in fact one of the founders of the anti-gmo movements has recanted his position and regrets spreading inflammatory, irresponsible and non-science rhetoric about the science of food production. Check out his public lecture here where he details his regrets and the many ways he got the science wrong.

What is it with you pod people that come on as scientific eggheads to defend an evil corporation that harms small farmers with a stated goal of controlling the world's food supply? There have been several international studies that recommend regional organic farming with a focus on supplying each region's food is the way to avoid world hunger. BTW - an academic whistle blower has testified that it's the main GMO gene transfer agemt CaMV35 that raises hell with our intestinal flora that's a major part of our immune systems.

Reply · 16 · · 8 January at 21:55 View 10 more Shirley Gorman There is something so very wrong when you are looking at a fruit/food package, and trying to find its' origins, or whether it is GMO free and the info is not there. It is such a shame that we consumers are so unprotected when it comes to knowing what we are eating. At the very least, give people info so they can make their own choice! Reply · 17 · · 8 January at 17:42 Linda Montgomery Maybe it is time for us to grow up, take responsibility for whatever is wrong, especially the labeling. Waiting for someone else to do it is an act in futility. There are good food product companies out there that have no problem giving consumers all the information necessary to make an informed choice. We should support them. If in doubt, don't buy it. We also need to learn how to prepare healthy convenience foods. Most convenience foods are toxic or cost prohibitive.
