Genetically Modified Wheat – Increased Appetite, Altered Genome

Many of us are shunning wheat for lots of reasons, but we usually cite gluten as the culprit. Cardiologist and author Dr. William Davis, however, says it’s not gluten that makes modern wheat a “perfect, chronic poison.” It’s the fact that genetically modified wheat has become the wheat we know today.

Davis spoke on “CBS This Morning” earlier this year about one of agribusiness’s biggest creations—the word “creation” not used lightly.


Genetically Modified Wheat – Increased Appetite, Altered Genome


“[Modern wheat is] an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the ‘60s and ‘70s  This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there’s a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It’s not gluten. I’m not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I’m talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year.”

Increasing hankerings and padding on pounds aren’t all genetically modified wheat is capable of doing. A new GM wheat in development by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CIRO), an Australian governmental research agency, may permanently alter the genes of the humans and animals that consume it.

“Through ingestion,” says Professor Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterbury Centre for Integrated Research in Biosafety, “these olecules can enter human beings and potentially silence our genes.” The double stranded RNAs present in this genetically modified wheat would also survive cooking, digestion, and generations of life.


GM Whole Grains Like Filtered Cigarettes


But what about all the hype over whole grains? Several health resources like the Mayo Clinic advocate ditching white wheat for less processed varieties, but Davis claims that is like replacing unfiltered with filtered cigarettes.

“That’s the logic of nutrition; it’s a deeply flawed logic.”

Instead of genetically modified wheat, Davis advocates eating “real foods” like avocados, olives, olive oil, eats, and vegetables. While Davis does tell consumers to favor food least likely to be changed by agribusiness, the CBS source, unfortunately, does not directly address variables like organic and small-scale farming versus conventionally raised and pesticide-drenched vegetables or pasture-raised versus factory-farmed meats.


GM Not the Answer to Feeding the Nation


Genetically modified foods pose a threat to people (not just consumers), animals, and the planet  Pesticides for GM corn pollute our water and often contaminate organic products. Although the issue of feeding the world is a complex and emotional one, GM food—and the poisoning of entire populations of people—is not the answer.

Monsanto doesn't serve GMO in its own cafeterias



The fight to ban genetically modified foods has won more converts — some employees of Monsanto the company that is doing the most to promote GM products.
The Independent newspaper reports that there is a notice in the cafeteria of the Monsanto pharmaceutical factory is High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, advising customers “as far as practicable, GM soya and maize (has been removed) from all food products served in our restaurant. We have taken the steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confident in the food we serve.”

The notice was posted by the Sutcliffe Catering Group.
Monsanto confirms the authenticity of the notice, but company spokesman Tony Coombes says the only reason for the GM-free foods is because the company “believes in choice.” Coombes says in other Monsanto locations employees are happy to eat GM foods because they are “sprayed with fewer chemicals.”

Adrian Bebb with Friends of the Earth says the notice in the Buckinghamshire plant is hard to misinterpret. “The public has made its concerns about GM ingredients very clear – now it appears that even Monsanto’s own catering firm has no confidence in this new technology.”

The Food Served in Restaurants

The Food Served in Restaurants

For most people owning a restaurant is a point of pride. The building, the experience, and the food are all due to the creativity of the owner which gives the person a lot to take pride in. And of course it’s nice to think of all the people who enjoy themselves in the establishment. But what if the food was hurting them? And then what if the people who frequented the restaurant learned of the illnesses being caused by the bad food? This is why many food serving establishments across the nation are switching to whole and healthy organic foods.

All across the nation people have been doing their own research about what is and isn’t healthy for them to eat. Back in the 1950’s, before the revolution of free speech and thought, people believed everything the advertisements were telling them about the food they were eating. One of the worst offenders was Wonder Bread and their famous slogan, “Helps build strong bodies 12 ways” (Ads Museum). It was later revealed that many of the major products people believed were safe for them to eat were actually hurting them. There were even lawsuits that lead to the truth in advertisement laws that are now in place today. In America today when a person goes into the supermarket, if the food is not labeled as organic then as a rule it is genetically modified (GMO). The problem with GMO foods is that they are unnatural and very harmful for the body as writes this Ban-GMO author, “There are no commercially available GMO foods with improved nutritional value. Currently available GM foods are no better and in some cases are less nutritious than natural foods” (BanGMFoods.org). In fact studies currently show that GMO food is the cause for an increase in illness rates throughout the populations in which GMO foods was made the standard. Scientists and researchers all over the world are finding that eating whole and healthy organic foods will actually cure most illnesses! Even the great and terrible beast of cancer finds its match with the Gerson Therapy which relies wholly on organic fruits and vegetables.

More and more in the country today many restaurant businesses are going out of business because people simply would rather eat somewhere healthier. Quickly the majority of the population is becoming aware that they don’t want to eat GMO foods and are going only to places that serve organic and healthy foods now. The whole organic and raw foods life style is reaching a peak in the trending cycle on the business markets of the world, people no longer wish to poison themselves and call it food. In the economy that America is currently experiencing, this is great news. Most if not all of the farms in America that produce GMO foods are owned and operated by large corporations and their affiliates, such as Monsanto. Too many of the family owned farms and food providers of America have been strong armed into Monsanto’s umbrella of control or shut down and out completely. If everyone stops paying good money for poor quality food such as GMO foods, then Monsanto will have no one to sell their food to, and then the way will be opened up for thousands of jobs all across America. Many of America’s entrepreneurs have already begun taking part in the vast amounts of money to be made by buying and selling organic and healthy products and foods. Clearly there is a demand and clearly there is a supply.


Starting in the time of World War II, in concordance with the invention of the microwave, governments and large food companies began using Iodine Radiation to “cleanse” the food. The only problem with this practice, is that it effectively kills whatever nutrition was in the food and it now becomes little more than empty food. This method of treating food to “preserve” them has become common practice with all GMO foods processed or used on American soil. There has been a serious decline in the health of the average American since World War II. The studies that are raging across all media platforms combined with the studies of GMO foods shows that what can be referred to as “modern foods” are seriously harming the health of the general population that may or may not know better when they consume these products. It is left to the reader to discern why these harmful foods are now the standard in America and all these studies are being ignored by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) when in Europe these food practices are banned for their negative impact on the health of the general population.

In America today it is widely known that Fast Food is regarded generally unhealthy thanks to films such as Super Size Me, but this is just a piece of the pie so to speak. Studies currently show that by switching to a purely organic diet causes health decay to not only stop, but completely reverse and a healing cycle is then naturally induced within the body. This is to say that all the foods a person may eat can still be cooked, but the food and the preparation must be purely organic. Many Americans never really think about where cancer came from. It is widely assumed that cancer and general health decay in the population was always plaguing the human race. The question then stands, why hasn’t the human race “evolved” to “adapt” to these fatally serious issues? The truth is that Cancer and relative overall health decay started when human populations were subjected to radiation and genetically altered food as well as food made from substitute chemicals. Scientists in Europe concur that the very act of eating meat lowers the human immune system substantially. The rate for which a reversal of health decay occurs greatly increases when the diet is that of purely organic but by eating vegetarian. This health cycle rate may be furthermore increased according to the Gerson Cancer Therapy by drinking daily juices in which the fruits and vegetables necessary for a healthy diet are juiced and drank so that the super nutritious enzymes may be absorbed by the body at an accelerated rate.

There has been a decent decline in cancer rates since about 1990 in which health awareness started to spread on a main stream basis. The author doesn’t intend to suggest any notions of any form of conspiracy or some such train of thought, however prevalent or obvious these notions may be. The very purpose is to show how serving organic foods in a business environment would promote great tasting food, general health of the patrons, and good profits to be had by doing so. The restaurant owners of America in the world today need to become health aware, because the general American population is becoming aware at a steadily increasing rate.

The FDA currently allows for a certified organic foods to be sold for more than their GMO counterparts. This allows for greater profits to be reaped from the use of organic foods in a business setting. The general population that is knowledgeable is general health practices is willing to pay more for organic healthy food as well. That is why many restaurants all over America are switching to organic foods, even grocery stores have organic sections within their shops now. These current trends show a market that can be easily accessed but would be much harder to corner. This promotes the traditional American free market ideal and allows for small business opportunity while creating more and more jobs as people break free of the chains of corporate GMO food processing and invest in local pure organic foods.
