Scientist that Discovered GMO Health Hazards Immediately Fired, Team Dismantled

NaturalNews – Though it barely received any media attention at the time, a renowned British  biochemist who back in 1998 exposed the shocking truth about how  genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) cause organ damage, reproductive failure,  digestive dysfunction, impaired immunity, and cancer, among many other  conditions, was immediately fired from his job, and the team of researchers who  assisted him dismissed from their post within 24 hours from the time when the  findings went public.

Arpad Pusztai, who is considered to be one of the  world’s most respected and well-learned biochemists, had for three years led a  team of researchers from Scotland’s prestigious Rowett Research Institute  (RRI) in studying the health effects of a novel GM potato with built-in Bt toxin. Much to the surprise of many, the team discovered that, contrary to  industry rhetoric, Bt potato was responsible for causing severe health damage in  test rats, a fact that was quickly relayed to the media out of concern for  public health.

But rather than be praised for their honest assessment  into this genetically-tampered potato, Pusztai and his colleagues were chastised  by industry-backed government authorities, including British Prime Minister Tony  Blair, whose office was discovered to have secretly contacted RRI just hours  after Pusztai and his team announced the results of their study on television.

For speaking the truth, Pusztai was immediately fired from his position, and his  team dismissed from their positions at the school.

[wpspoiler name=”Research out of Egypt finds similar results – GMOs cause severe, long-term health damage”]As reported recently in Egypt Independent, similar research by Hussein  Kaoud from Cairo University‘s Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene also made  some fascinating, though politically incorrect, discoveries about the effects of  GMOs on the body. After feeding nine groups of rats varying combinations of GM  soy, corn, wheat, and canola, Kaoud and his team observed that these genetic  poisons clearly obstructed the normal function of the animals, affirming  Pusztai‘s research.

“I recorded the alteration of different organs,  shrinkage of kidneys, change in the liver and spleen, appearance of malignant  parts in the tissues, (and) kidney failure and hemorrhages in the intestine,”  said Kaoud about the effects of GMOs as observed in the test rats. “The brain  functions were touched as well, and the rats’ learning and memory abilities were  seriously altered.”

In Kaoud‘s case, his groundbreaking findings will  soon be published in the respected journals Neurotoxicology and Ecotoxicology. But it remains to be seen whether or not the scientific  community at large, which is heavily influenced by biotechnology interests, and  the political structures that control it will accept the results as valid, or  pull a similar character assassination on Kaoud and his team as punishment for  defying the status quo.

What all this clearly illustrates, of course, is  that modern science can hardly be considered the independent, truth-seeking,  “gold standard” of interpreting and understanding reality that many people  mistakenly think it is. The truth about GMOs, as uncovered by mounds of  independent research, is that they are inadequately safety tested, at best, and  deadly at worst.

But this fact remains shrouded in deception, thanks to the  corporatized, pro-GMO culture of mainstream science.[/wpspoiler]
