First it is true. Also, Agrobacterium which is one of the building blocks has been now been proven to make the cross-kingdom jump, one of the only things on earth that has been, it’s now as happy to grow in plants as in man. Remember, these aren’t just “genes” this are bio-engineered rhizobacteria such as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and probably the most concerning, Bt. These things form crystals when they hit the gut acid and thus kill insects, they make terrible forms of pesticides, the plants are literally pesticides themselves. To show you how far this has gone google plants and plastic, soon they will be growing plants that are full of plastic, they grow plastic, thanks to Pseudomonas putida and other things.
But remember, these things are made by chance, they are fired at extremely high speeds (they used to use .22 calibur bullets) to cause a tremendous impact with the corn, this causes thousands of mutations and then they douse the concoction with a special anti-biotic that the GMO creation they made is resistant too and whatever survives is the product, no two batches of GMO corn are alike, even if they intend them to be, each batch has to go through testing (a sham).
GMO production is 40 to 50 years beyond most people realize, it’s totally unregulated, out of control, and harmful to man. Not only that, but there are several studies now that have proven the GMO crops produce less yeild than natural ones, the university of Iowa just proved that beyond questions, it’s all about one company, owning every seed that is planted, GMO crops self terminate, you cannot grow next years crop from this years, you rebuy next years frankenfood ...
The newcastle study and comments are in the links below.

A couple of interesting things:
1. The genes were only found in patients who had ileostomys, not those in normal patients.
2. The genes in the gut bacteria we NOT GMO genes, rather those naturally present in the plant.
3. If you read the abstract, the authors conclude that there was NO GENE TRANSFER FROM THE GMO.
