Insecticides from genetically modified corn are present in adjacent streams

September 6, 2022 by Captain Organic Planet

A study by University of Notre Dame ecologist Jennifer Tank and colleagues reveals that streams throughout the Midwest are receiving transgenic materials from corn crop byproducts, even six months after harvest. Transgenic maize (corn) has been genetically engineered to produce its own insecticide, a delta endotoxin from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Bt endotoxins deter crop pests, […]

Animal Pharm: Food For Thought

April 4, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Mother Nature can no longer claim total dominion over the future of evolution. Some of the planet’s most commonly consumed animals are undergoing extensive genetic manipulation in laboratory settings across the globe. Scientists can create new breeds of cows, chickens and fish that grow faster, leaner and more muscular than ever before. Even fruits and […]

GM soybean oil causes less obesity and insulin resistance but is harmful to liver function

January 16, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have tested a genetically-modified (GM) soybean oil used in restaurants and found that while it induces less obesity and insulin resistance than conventional soybean oil, its effects on diabetes and fatty liver are similar to those of conventional soybean oil. Soybean oil is the major vegetable cooking oil […]

FDA announces genetically modified cotton set to be used for human consumption

December 8, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

The FDA has approved a new protein-packed source of food for human consumption that tastes like chickpeas, but that doesn’t mean you should be lining up to buy it. The new food is genetically modified cottonseed, and proponents are claiming it could solve world hunger – a pretty typical empty promise that has been made about […]

America’s most widely consumed oil causes genetic changes in the brain

October 7, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, and depression. Used for fast food frying, added to packaged foods, and fed to livestock, soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the […]
