China's Quarantine U.S. Corn Cargo Refused Entry into China

China's quarantine bureau confirmed on Tuesday it had discovered traces of an unapproved genetically modified organism (GMO) in a U.S. corn cargo and had refused it entry into China.

Genetically Modified Organisms – A Dangerous Experiment


Dr. Arpad Pusztai, PhD, FRSE, "one of the few genuinely independent scientists specializing in plant genetics and animal feeding studies" (OCA, 2005), worked for the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1998. During his employment, he was commissioned to study potatoes "fitted" or genetically modified (GM) with a lectin gene from Galanthus Nivalis, a European plant. He inserted the gene into the potatoes himself, then fed the GM potatoes to lab rats in order to document the effects. What he found was that these potatoes had damaged the organs of the rats and depressed their immune systems

As Corn, Cotton and many more Commodities go through the roof, corn is being turned down by China?

What a tangled web they weave!

...as time goes by...

Why is the mutant GMO crap 'food' occult? Unlabeled? What are they hiding?

Darkness is at work here...deep darkness. Dead rats are the least of our worries with the stealth tainting of global food supplies with mutant GMO crud food facsimile.
