| While researching bio-engineered cotton, I came upon this site. What I find interesting in the other links I found from googling, is that cotton and other plants/foods are being engineered in most cases to be resistant to something. That something seems to be listed in what is coming out of our bodies. Nancy....check this out.........first on the list of modified foods. why would they engineer this? and Jo................did you do any research on the white fly? It's resistant to BE cotton. mbox-26: Bio-Engineered Foods HOW TO SHOP TO AVOID GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS: FOODS TO AVOID OR BOYCOTT: SPECIFIC BRAND NAME PRODUCTS TO BOYCOTT: THESE COMPANIES USE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED INGREDIENTS IN SOME OR ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS: Coca Cola (corn syrup and/or Aspartame), Fritos (corn), Green Giant Harvest Burgers (soy), McDonald's French Fries (potatoes), Nestle's chocolates (soy), Karo Corn Syrup (corn), NutraSweet (Aspartame), Kraft Salad Dressings (canola oil), Fleishmann's margarine (soy), Similac Infant Formula (soy), Land o Lakes butter (rBGH), Cabot Creamery Butter (rBGH). AVOID ALL OTHER CONVENTIONAL (NOT CERTIFIED-ORGANIC) TOMATOES, POTATOES, CORN, SOY, CANOLA OIL, COTTON SEED OIL, AND YELLOW CROOK-NECK SQUASH: TOMATOES: Genetically engineered with bacteria-derived kanamycin resistance genes, Antisense backwards DNA, antibiotic marker genes, viruses, and DNA of flounder and North Atlantic shellfish. This and the following genetically engineered foods have antibiotic marker genes used to facilitate the genetic engineering process. They can cause allergies and autoimmune disease. POTATOES: Genetically engineered with wax moth insect DNA; genetically engineered to produce its own pesticide internally with the DNA of bacillus thuringiensis bacteria. CORN: Genetically engineered to tolerate high quantities of the chemical pesticide glufosinate, and genetically engineered with a virus and the DNA of the bacteria bacillus thuringiensis. SOY: Genetically engineered and DNA-altered by Monsanto with bacteria; capable of tolerating heavy doses of Monsanto's Roundup brand chemical pesticide (glyphosate). YELLOW CROOK NECK SQUASH: Gene-spliced with two experimental viruses and arbitrary marker genes, capable of causing unpredictable and unexpected effects. CANOLA OIL: Genetically engineered and DNA-altered with California bay turnip and various viruses and bacterium in order to produce high quantities of lauric acid. COTTON SEED OIL: Genetically engineered and DNA-altered with Arabidopsis bacterium, and viruses to be able to withstand large applications of the chemical pesticide bromoxynil. Bromoxynil causes birth defects in human beings. PAPAYA: Some have been genetically engineered. AVOID ALL PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM THE ABOVE NON-ORGANIC ITEMS As of the beginning of 1997, these products will have been genetically engineered and on the market as a percentage of the total conventional food supply. Since they are sold unlabeled in the conventional market, there is no way to tell specifically which tomatoes, potatoes, corn, soy, etc. have been actually genetically engineered. If you live in a nation which may receive imports from the U.S. and Canada, you should also avoid these non-organic foods as a safety precaution. Your own nation or another exporting to yours may be doing genetic engineering. Eat only organic food if possible. Even if you buy seeds to grow your own food, buy only organic seeds. AVOID EATING IN NON-ORGANIC RESTAURANTS Unless the restaurant management makes it clear in writing that they are committed to using only non-genetically engineered foods and products, avoid eating out as much as possible. Since genetically engineered foods are not labeled, they also have no idea which of their tomato, potato, corn, soy, canola, yellow-crook-neck squash products may be genetically engineered. READ LABELS CAREFULLY: BE CAREFUL WITH ALL PROCESSED FOODS WATCH OUT FOR CONVENTIONAL, NON-ORGANIC CORN AND SOY, BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SO MANY PRODUCTS: Avoid corn syrup, fructose, and fructose corn syrup in almost all beverages and sodas (even health food brands), and in almost all sweet products, yogurt, and aspirin. Avoid corn oil, corn starch, corn meal, baking soda, baking powder, glycose syrup; Avoid soy; soy flour in baked goods; pizza, cookies, cakes, pasta; fillers in meat products, (for example Big Macs) vegetarian meat substitutes, (for example tofu, tofu burgers, tofu hot dogs) soy milk, infant formula, baby foods; diet and protein shakes, protein bars; chocolate and candy bars; margarine; ice cream; pet food; soy oil in salad dressings & snack chips; soy sauce; lecithin and soy lecithin. In all, well over 30,000 products! AVOID rBGH MILK & DAIRY PRODUCTS (apologies to strict vegans): Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH), marketed through veterinarians and injected into dairy cows, causes increased milk production and horrible mastitis. These cows then require constant medical supervision and continuous high doses of antibiotics. Their milk contains high levels of pus. The cow's milk and dairy products made from this milk also contain rBGH, bovine growth hormone. This hormone increases cancer risk in human beings. AVOID ASPARTAME: This is known as the artificial sweetener Equal or NutraSweet and is made up of three chemicals and a genetically engineered enzyme. It has been implicated in many diseases. It breaks down into formeldahyde in the body. EAT ONLY ORGANIC RENNETLESS CHEESE (apologies to strict vegans): Most non-organic cheeses are made with a genetically engineered rennet called chymosin. AVOID DOUGH CONDITIONER: This is a code word for a combination of genetically engineered enzymes and other components, found in cheaper breads and baked goods. OTHER GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ADDITIVES AND ENZYMES Avoid Amylase (used in making bread, flour, whole wheat flour, cereals, starch), Catalase (used in making soft drinks, egg whites, liquid whey) and Lactase. "Genetic engineeers are taking genes from bacteria, viruses and insects and adding them to fruits, grains and vegetables," said Dr. Rebecca Goldburg, an Environmental Defense Fund senior scientist. "They are producing foods that have never before been eaten by human beings. Consumers should not be guinea pigs for untested food substances." The Agriculture Department is expected to release national standards for organic foods this year, and there is concern among organic farmers and processors, consumer advocates and some scientists that the department will override the recommendations of the National Organic Standards Board, which voted to prohibit genetically engineered foods from being labeled organic. Following is a list by Genetic ID of Fairfield, Iowa, of genetically engineered foods that have been approved by the federal government, that await approval or that are under development. An asterisk marks foods that are for sale. Abalone* Alfalfa Apples Asparagus Barley Beets Broccoli Canola (rapeseed oil)* Carrots Catfish* Cauliflower Cheesemaking enzymes (chymosin)* Chestnuts Chicory Corn Cotton (cottonseed oil)* Cucumbers Flaxseed Grapes Kiwi fruit Lettuce Melons Papayas Peanuts Pepper Potatoes* Prawns* Raspberries Rice Salmon* Soybeans* Squash Strawberries Sugar cane Sunflowers Sweet potatoes Tomatoes* Walnuts Watermelons Wheat Kritts |

| Hi Kritts, In that link it listed abalone as a genetically engineered food that has been approved by the federal government, and is for sale! ![]() I'll dig up my BT cotton research, I know moths was in there...ummm. Will get back to ya. Mucho respecto Jo xxxx |

| There is nothing left. Geez. So we have a aweful disease AND we have to DIEt....shoooooot. I suppose cheese in a can is out? and coffe ? |
