This study will impact breastfeeding protocol and it won't look at
everything.  We humans did not evolve eating the way we eat today.  As
Jennifer Tow posts regarding breastfeeding moms with a leaky gut and babies
who cannot tolerate their own mom's breastmilk-they need to learn ways to
heal their gut along with an elimination diet.  Even adults are developing
gluten intolerance and new food allergies-will their study include us?

 

Today we eat a huge variety of foods that our ancestors would never consumed
or been exposed to as non-seasonal, non-regional foods with chemical
residues are shipped to us from all over the world.  Due to chemical dumping
(selling off), imported foods can be raised with pesticides the US had
banned years ago and at higher ppm than was permitted. 

 

Third world countries are still eating more historically because they can
barely afford their staples.

Also, humans have never consumed GM foods before.  Dr. Arpad Pusztai kindly
emailed me back, after he got fired from Rowett Institute in Scotland for
being honest on UK television when interviewed.  GM potatoes were terrible
for the immune system of the lab rats he was working with, while non-GM
varieties of raw potato were terrific for the immune system-70-80% of which
resides in the gut.

His direct quote:  For the industry GM is just another product and, if it is
not acutely poisonous, their job is to sell as much as possible of it.

His research was peer reviewed and published in The Lancet.
