93 percent of unborn babies contaminated with GMO toxins, study finds (Bt)

A landmark new study out of Canada exposes yet another lie propagated by the biotechnology industry, this time blowing a hole in the false claim that a certain genetic pesticide used in the cultivation of genetically-modified (GM) crops does not end up in the human body upon consumption. Researchers from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre in Quebec, Can., have proven that Bt toxin, which is used in GM corn and other crops, definitively makes its way into the blood supply, contrary to what Big Bio claims -- and this toxin was found in the bloodstreams of 93 percent of pregnant women tested.

Published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, the study explains that Bt toxin enters the body not only through direct consumption of GMOs, but also from consumption of meat, milk and eggs from animals whose feed contains GMOs. Among all women tested, 80 percent of the pregnant group tested positive for Bt toxin in their babies' umbilical cords, and 69 percent of non-pregnant women tested positive for Bt toxin.

This is the #1 myth about GM crops. The seeds are NOT, I repeat, NOT sterile. The thing is that Monsanto owns the patent on the seed and you cannot save it and plant it.

You also have to grow a certain amount of non-GM crop for refuge. You can’t buy the seed and sell an extra bag to your neighbor. You have to pay a technology fee. The seed is strictly controlled.

The seed costs are outrageous but if you have Round-up ready you don’t have to hoe and you don’t have to spray for the various worms. You can also yield 50 to 100% more with excellent quality so that outrageous seed cost doesn’t look so bad in the long run.

The seeds are NOT sterile. The reason you can’t save and replant the seed is that Monsanto will sue your arse off and own your farm and that is incentive enough for most farmers.
