Alert OF THE WEEK
Stop Genetically Modified "Humanized" Milk Cows!
Researchers at the China Agricultural University say they have forcefully
inserted genetically modified human genes into cows to produce a
breast-milk-like substance.
The research was funded by the Beijing GenProtein Biotechnology Company
which hopes to soon sell its genetically modified dairy products in
supermarkets.
[snip]
Food produced from these animals is dangerous for humans because the
insertion of foreign genes into DNA strands remains an inexact science.
These foreign genes hit the DNA strands in random spots, changing the way
they are expressed (turned on and turned off) and creating proteins never
before ingested by human beings. These novel proteins could prove dangerous
for large segments of the human population who find they are allergic to
them.
