Last year, doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found Bt-toxin in the blood of:
93 percent of pregnant women tested
80 percent of umbilical blood in their babies, and
67 percent of non-pregnant women
The study authors speculate that the Bt-toxin was likely consumed in the normal diet of the Canadian middle class—which makes sense when you consider that genetically engineered corn is present in the vast majority of all processed foods and drinks in the form of high fructose corn syrup. They also suggest that the toxin may have come from eating meat from animals fed Bt corn, which most livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO, or so-called "factory farms") are.
These shocking results raise the frightening possibility that eating Bt corn might actually turn your intestinal flora into a sort of "living pesticide factory"… essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis.
BT-TOXIN WHAT IS IT???
Monsanto's genetically modified "Bt corn" has been equipped with a gene from soil bacteria called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), which produces the Bt-toxin. It's a pesticide that breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them.
-
If this hypothesis is correct, is it then also possible that the Bt-toxin might damage the integrity of your digestive tract in the same way it damages insects? Remember, the toxin actually ruptures the stomach of insects, causing them to die. The biotech industry has insisted that the Bt-toxin doesn't bind or interact with the intestinal walls of mammals (which would include humans). But again, there are peer-reviewed published research showing that Bt-toxin does bind with mouse small intestines and with intestinal tissue from rhesus monkeys.

I worked in a kindergarten based on Rudolf Steiner's teachings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthroposophy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthroposophy)
A female employe in her 30s died from stomach cancer. She ate only organic food, mostly products from their own brand "Helios". Later on I learned of anecdotical stories about many of these people dying young from stomach cancer. Why?
One explanation is the great amount of toxins from mould found is much organic food, such as grains, cereals and flour. Lack of control with mould is very bad indeed.
You health nutcases believe nature is only good and kind. Nature is also a killer, with natural toxins from plants and mould potentially being extremely dangerous.

the see of corn generates bt toxin itself. its genetically modified that way. all of the food we eat generates this toxing that exploded bugs stomachs but we eat it

You won't be seeing anything labeled GMO anytime soon for the same old reason ---> $$$$$$$$$$$
Not surprisingly, the biotech industry has spent over half a billion dollars on G.M.O. lobbyists in the last decade, and Michael Taylor, the F.D.A. deputy commissioner for foods, was once vice president for public policy at Monsanto.

I get pretty mad at these companies, not giving a fuck. I fight this for everyones sake. I sure don't let them feed that to me, and I just can't understand why most people doesn't seem able to stand up to this garbage, but just fall victims to it more or less willingly. That type of ignorance make me pretty mad too.
People you're not apes in a zoo! You actually get to chose what to eat your self, and then you chose this cheap crud?

i used to be of the thought that it wasnt a big deal to buy non organic, now i plan on making a much better effort to buy organic because of this. even if the article was half true thats still enough truth to get me to go buy more organic
by the time people are like 60 this shit could really add up while the monsanto people will be long retired somewhere with girls with big tits

Weve been buying anything non GMO if we can find it.
I was pissed when we voted down i522 here in wa... Evidently Monsanto and other biotech companies put in a half billion to make sure that 522 failed. They outspent the pro GMO labeling by something like 300%.
They literally bought the election.

non gmo crops can work even though the yeilds would be less., all one needs is more people in the feild picking the crops, i would thourougly enjoy that kinda job
we dont need mass produced gmo crops
we just need some extra workers harvesting the non gmo crops
like always, they need to push the agenda that I am bringing to the table

Well!! I have better news for you.
http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/11/end-abx/
This week, health authorities in New Zealand announced that the tightly quarantined island nation — the only place I’ve ever been where you get x-rayed on the way into the country as well as leaving it — has experienced its first case, and first death, from a strain of totally drug-resistant bacteria. From the New Zealand Herald:
In January, while he was teaching English in Vietnam, (Brian) Pool suffered a brain hemorrhage and was operated on in a Vietnamese hospital.
He was flown to Wellington Hospital where tests found he was carrying the strain of bacterium known as KPC-Oxa 48 – an organism that rejects every kind of antibiotic.
Wellington Hospital clinical microbiologist Mark Jones (said): “Nothing would touch it. Absolutely nothing. It’s the first one that we’ve ever seen that is resistant to every single antibiotic known.”
Pool’s death is an appalling tragedy. But it is also a lesson, twice over: It illustrates that antibiotic resistance can spread anywhere, no matter the defenses we put up — and it demonstrates that we are on the verge of entering a new era in history. Jones, the doctor who treated Pool, says in the story linked above: “This man was in the post-antibiotic era.”
“Post-antibiotic era” is a phrase that gets tossed around a lot these days, most of the time without people stopping to consider what it might really mean. A year ago, I started wondering what life would be like, if we really didn’t have antibiotics any more. I was commissioned and edited by got research support from (editing to make clear that they didn’t give me a grant; they don’t do that) the fantastic Food and Environment Reporting Network, and today Medium publishes our 4,000-word report, “Imagining a Post-Antibiotics Future” — a view from the far side of the antibiotic miracle.
If we really lost antibiotics to advancing drug resistance — and trust me, we’re not far off — here’s what we would lose. Not just the ability to treat infectious disease; that’s obvious.
But also: The ability to treat cancer, and to transplant organs, because doing those successfully relies on suppressing the immune system and willingly making ourselves vulnerable to infection. Any treatment that relies on a permanent port into the bloodstream — for instance, kidney dialysis. Any major open-cavity surgery, on the heart, the lungs, the abdomen. Any surgery on a part of the body that already harbors a population of bacteria: the guts, the bladder, the genitals. Implantable devices: new hips, new knees, new heart valves. Cosmetic plastic surgery. Liposuction. Tattoos.
We’d lose the ability to treat people after traumatic accidents, as major as crashing your car and as minor as your kid falling out of a tree. We’d lose the safety of modern childbirth: Before the antibiotic era, 5 women died out of every 1,000 who gave birth. One out of every nine skin infections killed. Three out of every 10 people who got pneumonia died from it.
And we’d lose, as well, a good portion of our cheap modern food supply. Most of the meat we eat in the industrialized world is raised with the routine use of antibiotics, to fatten livestock and protect them from the conditions in which the animals are raised. Without the drugs that keep livestock healthy in concentrated agriculture, we’d lose the ability to raise them that way. Either animals would sicken, or farmers would have to change their raising practices, spending more money when their margins are thin. Either way, meat — and fish and seafood, also raised with abundant antibiotics in the fish farms of Asia — would become much more expensive.
And it wouldn’t be just meat. Antibiotics are used in plant agriculture as well, especially on fruit. Right now, a drug-resistant version of the bacterial disease fire blight is attacking American apple crops. There’s currently one drug left to fight it. And when major crops are lost, the local farm economy goes too.
Joe McKenna, around 1933. (c. McKenna family)
If you’ve been reading here a while, you’ll know that I write about antibiotic resistance, in human medicine and in agriculture, all the time (and wrote a book about it). But something personal propelled me into this story. By random chance, I received a copy of the obit of my great-uncle, my grandfather’s younger brother Joe.
I’d heard about Joe as I was growing up, because everyone said my father resembled him. All I knew was that he was good-looking, and died young, and there was something about his death that was tragic. He was a New York City fireman, and I always assumed he’d died in a fire. I was wrong. He died of an infection, 5 years before penicillin came on the scene.
Joe’s death was protracted, and terrible, and it changed my family forever. Seventy-five years later, we would like to think that deaths like his are impossible. But they aren’t; as the story from New Zealand shows, they are happening again. We have a few chances left to turn back the tide of resistance — but only a few, and not much room for mistakes. I hope we take them.

Unless you are a type of caterpillar with an alkaline digestive system, the BT protein won't harm you. In fact it is an approved organic pesticide and sprayed by organic farmers on their produce. Yes, there are pesticides approved that organic farmers are allowed to use and the BT protein is one of them.

Really? Last I had heard the FDA had not really designated what constitutes "organic".
If it includes non Genetic engineered foods... why were they trying to get GMO foods labeled in stores? If organic basically means non GMO, then it should have been a non issue, right? Why would the biotech companies waste so much money fighting i522?
I still think they should have to label the food... we have a right to know what were putting in out body... I still eat GMO and I know there is barely any way to get around it, but I'd prefer to at least know WHAT foods I'm eating are GMO.
If "organic" foods are really FDA mandated to be non-GMO, then at least it's a step in the right direction. I don't necessarily think GMO should be banned, but we should definitely know whats GMO and what were putting in our bodies. People should have the choice without having to spend hours trying to figure out if the food theyre buying is genetically engineered or not.

As I said, it was an anecdote, told just as an interesting story. It may not hold as an example of a general phenomenon. But problems with mold in organic grains have been very real, at least with the "Helios" products in Norway, and these molds produce carcinogenic toxins.
I worked in a kindergarten for a year when I was 20. It was interesting and frustrating to work among these weird, religious Rudolf Steiner people.

I'd eat organic for the sake of animal welfare, health and sustainability/ environmental issues.
However, much of organic farming would result in hunger and maybe even more pollution. Severly reduced crop yields is a real problem. Another problem is toxins from mold etc. Regarding GMO- I have not seen convincing evidence that it constitute a health risk. The potential for good is however very convincing.

Last year, doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found Bt-toxin in the blood of:
93 percent of pregnant women tested
80 percent of umbilical blood in their babies, and
67 percent of non-pregnant women
The study authors speculate that the Bt-toxin was likely consumed in the normal diet of the Canadian middle class—which makes sense when you consider that genetically engineered corn is present in the vast majority of all processed foods and drinks in the form of high fructose corn syrup. They also suggest that the toxin may have come from eating meat from animals fed Bt corn, which most livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO, or so-called "factory farms") are.
These shocking results raise the frightening possibility that eating Bt corn might actually turn your intestinal flora into a sort of "living pesticide factory"… essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis.
BT-TOXIN WHAT IS IT???
Monsanto's genetically modified "Bt corn" has been equipped with a gene from soil bacteria called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), which produces the Bt-toxin. It's a pesticide that breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them.
The study you cite has been criticized for methodological mistakes. But let's assume its premise is true - that bt toxin shows up in those who eat Monsanto's GM strain.
Guess what, it is already known that bt toxin ends up in people because it has been used as a pesticide since the 1920's. What's more, it has always been approved for use on organic crops!
The real problem is that the new strain may so thoroughly expose bt toxin to insect populations, that new bt toxin-resistant pests may evolve.
That's the real worry, Amigo.
BTW, I'm sure, being a peanut butter fan and nutrition wiz, that you have heard of aflatoxin, right? The naturally occurring lethal poison that exists in trace amounts in peanut butter?
Do you still eat peanut butter? Because there is no debate on how toxic aflatoxin is.
