Monsanto ‘Biotechnology Book for Kids’ Caught Brainwashing Children

Anthony Gucciardi from Activist Post


Facing direct opposition from the public, biotechnology giants like Monsanto and Dow are now making a disturbing attempt to brainwash developing minds into accepting their genetically modified foods using blatant lies and propaganda.

In a last ditch effort to potentially sway public opinion, the Council for Biotechnology Information (CBI)  has launched the “Biotechnology Basics Activity Book” for kids.


With the intent to be used by ‘agriculture and science teachers’, the activity book spreads absurd lies about GMO crops — even going as far as to say that they ‘improve our health’ and ‘help the environment’.


The book can be seen on the organization’s website, and makes it extremely apparent that it is full of misinformation and propaganda that completely ignores scientific research surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


In fact, let’s examine some claims made by this book that serves as an ‘educational’ tool to be used by teachers.


Here is a short outline I created from the article at Activist Post:


Monsanto’s Propaganda that is spreading to our children through literature

From page # 1 of the Propaganda they are distributing.....
.........................They say that GMO crops............

1) Grow more food;


Not so much ……according to 900 scientists, GMO crops actually do not grow more food than traditional farming practices. In fact, they are simply not an effective tool to fight starvation in any capacity, thanks to their excessive costs and immense failure to yield crops.


Funded by the World Bank and United Nations, an organization was created known as the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD). Made up of 900 scientists and researchers, the group — whose mission was to examine the issue of world hunger — found that genetically modified crops were not a meaningful solution to the problem.




2) Help the environment
Do What?......Research has shown that Monsanto’s modified Bt pesticide is actually mutating the very genetic coding of insect life on the planet, creating super resistant ‘mutant’ bugs that are wreaking havoc on farms using Monsanto’s harmful concoctions across the globe. At least 8 populations of insects have developed some form of resistance, with 2 populations resistant to Bt sprays and at least 6 species resistant to Bt crops as a whole.


3) Grow more nutritious food that improves our health.
Do GMOs really ‘Improve Our Health’?. . . But what about the claim that GMOs improve our health? It turns out nothing could be further from the truth. A prominent review of 19 studies examining the safety of GMO crops found that consumption of GMO corn or soybeans can lead to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice – particularly in the liver and kidneys.


Of course the negative effects do not end there. Monsanto’s modified biopesticide, known as Bt, has been found to be killing human kidney cells in conjunction with Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup. That’s right, it exhibits direct toxicity to human cells. 

What’s On Your Plate May Be Killing 50% of Your Healthy Cells

From: Natural Health Dossier

We’ve told you before about the dangers of genetically modified (GM) foods. But new research now suggests they may be even more dangerous than we thought.

The latest research shows that GM foods may actually be killing human kidney cells.

Watch Food Inc. HERE

The findings come from Dr. Gilles-Eric Séralini. He’s a top researcher at one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in France, the University of Caen.

“We were very surprised by our findings,” he says. “Until now, it (was) thought almost impossible for (these) proteins to be toxic to human cells. (Our) experiments show that the risks have been underestimated.”

You can read about his findings in the Journal of Applied Toxicology.

His findings come just days after another independent study also found that GM foods are dangerous to your health.

In fact, this other research shows they are toxic to human DNA…even in tiny amounts.

GM Foods…Triple Threat to Your Health

Monsanto is the biggest player in GM crops and farming. It produces an herbicide called Roundup. It also provides the tech behind 90 percent of genetically engineered seeds in the US.

Until now, it’s always been said that Roundup is safe for humans. They claim it’s only toxic to insects and is in no way risky to you.

But the new study shows this isn’t true.

Dr. Séralini and his team tested how the active ingredient really affects human cells. So he tested it out on human kidney cells. And he found that it kills them, even in very low dilutions.

When he tested the effect of it when diluted to 57.5 ppm, he found it kills up to 50 percent of healthy cells.

He further noted that this is “far below agricultural dilutions.”

But the bad news doesn’t end there.

He also tested GM crops. And he found that a protein in them also destroys human cells. It’s actually a toxin that’s produced in most GM crops like corn.

The final bit of research he came up with may be the most concerning.

He found that human cells were totally devastated when they were exposed to both Roundup and the protein. The combination of the two causes synergistic damage to human cells. In other words, when a GM crop (that already contains the protein) is sprayed with Roundup, the damage to your cells goes through the roof.

The news comes hot on the heels of another study which also shows bad results for GM crops.

Herbicides Devastate DNA

This study comes from the Medical University of Vienna. It was headed up by leading cancer researcher Dr. Siegfried Knasmueller.

This study was published in the Archives of Toxicology.

He wanted to see if Roundup poses risk to humans at any level. So he diluted it down and did his test on a solution that was 450-fold weaker than what’s normally used on crops.

And he still found that the herbicide shattered human DNA.

“We found toxic effects after short exposure,” he says. “Our findings indicate that inhalation causes DNA damage in exposed individuals.”

So if a concentration (that’s 450-fold weaker than what’s normally used) still damages your DNA, what does the full dose do to it?

What You Can Do

Because there’s so much evidence that shows GM crops are dangerous, you should make sure you’re cutting them out of your diet today.

As we’ve told you before, both soy and corn are two of the most genetically modified crops. So you should stay away from both of these food stuffs in the future.

The next thing you can do is check the label. More and more stores are offering lines that are labeled as non-GMO.

The third thing you need to think about is the meat that you eat.

That’s because this kind of damage doesn’t just come from GM crops like soy and corn. Any animal that’s raised on these crops will also pass the bad effects onto you.

So even if you’re avoiding corn and soy like we’ve told you to, you may still be in danger from the meat on your plate.

In other words, eating animals that are reared on GM crops can do your cells plenty of damage over time.

That’s a big reason why we often tell you to only buy meat that is grass-fed and fish that is wild-caught.

That label tells you that what you’re eating hasn’t been raised on GM crops.

So, you should get into the habit of looking at labels for this information. Also keep an eye on anything that says your food is organic, and pesticide-free.

Finally, when handling produce, be sure you wash it thoroughly.

Research suggests you need to soak fruit and vegetables for about 10 minutes in water.

After that you need to scrub the skin and rinse under the tap for at least one minute.

Wishing you good natural health,

Harvard study: Pasteurized milk from industrial dairies linked to cancer

Recently I ran across a website about the dangers of milk, the site doesn't try to sell me something its just chock full of great
info and in it I found out things like the fact that they actually
put rat poison in milk, yep, no kidding, see for yourself here. 
Now on to what the title of this article talks about, today from NaturalNews. The truth has once again shaken the foundation of the 'American Tower of Babel' that is mainstream science, with a new study out of Harvard University showing that pasteurized milk product from factory farms is linked to causing hormone-dependent cancers. It turns out that the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) model of raising cows on factory farms churns out milk 
with dangerously high levels of estrone sulfate, an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate, and breast cancers.

Dr. Ganmaa Davaasambuu, Ph.D., and her colleagues specifically identified "milk from modern dairy farms" as the culprit, referring to large-scale confinement operations where cows are milked 300 days of the year, including while they are pregnant. Compared to raw milk from her native Mongolia, which is extracted only during the first six months after cows have already given birth, pasteurized factory milk was found to contain up to 33 times more estrone sulfate.

Evaluating data from all over the world, Dr. Davaasambuu and her colleagues identified a clear link between consumption of such high-hormone milk, and high rates of hormone-dependent cancers. In other words, contrary to what theU.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), theU.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA), and the conventional milk lobby would have you believe, processed milk from factory farms is not a health product, and is directly implicated in causing cancer.

"The milk we drink today is quite unlike the milk our ancestors were drinking" without apparent harm for 2,000 years, Dr. Davaasambuu is quoted as saying in theHarvard University Gazette. "The milk we drink today may not be nature's perfect food."

Meanwhile, raw, grass-fed, organic milk from cows milked at the proper times is linked to improving digestion, healing autoimmune disorders, and boosting overall immunity, which can help prevent cancer. Though you will never hear any of this from the mainstream media, all milk is not the same -- the way a cow is raised, when it is milked, and how its milk is handled and processed makes all the difference in whether or not the end product promotes health or death.

American government seeks to further perpetuate the lie that all milk is the same with gregious new provisions in 2012 Farm Bill (Read more of this article at Natural News)

Toxic Splenda Essentials Falsely Marketed to Health-Conscious Consumers

Executed as a tactic to trick consumers, the Corn Refiners Association in 2010 decided to rename high-fructose corn syrup to ‘corn sugar’ as it would appear on food labels. The change was contrived by the organizations in response to millions of consumers recognizing the negative health consequences associated with the ingredient. Now, another sinister product is being marketed to the public differently, also because millions of consumers are recognizing the harm surrounding its consumption.

Splenda has been sold as a no calorie sweetener for years, and for years those who use it have been suffering from health consequences. Sucralose, sold under the brand name Splenda, is nothing but chlorinated sugar. While sugar itself is leading to numerous health complications, chlorine is employed as a biocide in bleach, disinfectants, and insecticides. Needless to say, consuming this chlorocarbon is ruining your health.

Instead of Splenda rightfully discontinuing their toxic creation, they have decided to make it sound even better for consumers. Splenda Essentials, a product being pushed on ‘health-conscious’ individuals, is packed full of vitamins and nutrients such as B vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Unfortunately, you would need to consume inconceivable amounts for any positive health impact. Even if you were to benefit at all from the added vitamins, you are still consuming the highly toxic sucralose.

According to a Duke University study, Splenda has been shown to cause digestive imbalance by altering the microflora in the intestine while exerting other adverse effects. Nearly 200 studies have been conducted on Splenda, but only 10 percent (15 studies) looked at safety. 13 of those studies were funded by the creators of Splenda.

In “The Lethal Science of Splenda, a Poisonous Chlorocarbon,” Dr. Bowen explains how chlorocarbons like sucralose can cause cancer, birth defects, and immune system destruction. He goes on to say:

“Any chlorocarbons not directly excreted from the body intact can cause immense damage to the processes of human metabolism and, eventually, our internal organs. The liver is a detoxification organ which deals with ingested poisons. Chlorocarbons damage the hepatocytes, the liver’s metabolic cells, and destroy them.”

Unfortunately there is a high chance that you could fall victim to these negative health consequences even if you don’t use Splenda. Sucralose has been shown to be contaminating much of the nations waste water, surface water, and ground water. To determine the degree of its presence, researchers analyzed water samples from 19 US drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) which serve more than 28 million people. Sucralose was found in source water of 15 out of 19 water samples, finished water of 13 out of 17, and distribution system water of 8 out of 12.
