    "How are GMOs and Roundup linked to cancer?

    "That was the subject of my talk this past weekend in Orlando at the exciting The Truth About Cancer conference. Below are the 10 main points from my presentation."

    1. The very process of creating a GMO creates side effects that can promote cancer. Monsanto’s Roundup Ready corn, for example, has higher levels of putrescine and cadaverine. These are not only linked to cancer and allergies, they produce the foul smell of rotting dead bodies.

    2. Bt-toxin, which is manufactured by the altered DNA in every cell of genetically modified varieties of corn, cotton, and South American soy, pokes holes in cell walls. It may create “leaky gut,” which is linked to cancer and numerous other diseases.

    3. Most GMOs are “Roundup Ready”—designed to be sprayed with Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. These include Soy, Corn, Cotton, Canola, Sugar Beets (for sugar), and Alfalfa. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is classified as a class 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of the World Health Organization). They said it probably causes cancer in humans, does cause cancer in animals, does cause mutations in DNA that can lead to cancer, and where it is heavily sprayed, cancer rates are higher.

    4. Roundup is also sprayed on numerous non-GMO crops just before harvest as a desiccant, to dry down the crop as it is killed by the herbicide. Some of these other crops include: Wheat, Oats, Flax, Peas, Lentils, Dry Beans, Sugar Cane, Rye, Triticale, Buckwheat, Millet, Potatoes and Sunflowers. Canola, Corn and Soybeans labeled non-GMO may also be sprayed with Roundup.

    5. To avoid Roundup, eating non-GMO is not sufficient. It is better to choose organic, which does not allow the use of GMOs, Roundup, or other synthetic poisons. (Products labeled both Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are even better, because the latter requires tests for possible inadvertent GMO contamination.) Since Roundup is sprayed on most US cotton, residues are found in cotton products including tampons. BUY ORGANIC!

    6. Several cancer rates in the US are rising in parallel with increased use of glyphosate on GMO soy and corn fields. These include leukemia and cancers of the liver, kidney, bladder, thyroid, and breast.

    7. In Argentina, the rate of cancer in communities living near Roundup Ready soybean fields has also skyrocketed, as have birth defects, thyroid conditions, lupus, and respiratory problems.

    8. The following are just some of the health effects of glyphosate, all of which are known to increase cancer risk. Glyphosate:

    a. Damages the DNA

    b. Is an antibiotic

    c. Promotes leaky gut

    d. Chelates minerals, making them unavailable

    e. Is toxic to the mitochondria

    f. Interferes with key metabolic pathways

    g. Causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

    h. Degrades into Sarcosine and formaldehyde

    9. The full Roundup formulation is up to 125 times more toxic than glyphosate alone. It also has a greater endocrine disruptive effect.

    10. Thousands of people how were exposed to Roundup and are now suffering from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are suing Monsanto. The lawsuit forced Monsanto to make public secret documents, emails, and texts. These are smoking guns, providing clear evidence that Monsanto colludes with government regulators, bullies scientists, ghostwrites articles, pays off journal editors and scientists, and publicly denies evidence of harm that it privately admits to.

    A) Not a current event.

    B) Not a political event.

    C) Also based on a really warped and pointless understanding of the science of GMOs. Your cat and dog are GMOs. So is the corn and wheat eaten by 90% of the world population.

    Coffee has acrylamide in it and causes cancer. They need to put big warning labels on coffee cans. Coffee is a killer.

    They need to put big warnings on the door at Waffle house, and at that place where yuppies go for coffee, can't think of the name of it.

    I would put this in the realm of woo or conspiracy theories.

    If you click on the link there's some information if you're willing to dig. I actually enjoy pointing out quacks so I did.

    So the only website he linked was one called "the truth about cancer." So I clicked on the link and there's some sort of registration where you can listen to hours and hours of quacks and pseudo doctors and chiropractors talk to you about something they don't really know.

    If you go under that it starts mentioning names. So I had to Google them.

    The first name I saw was Doctor Rashid Buttar. So I Googled him and to my surprise he is not a chiropractor he's actually an osteopathic physician. I'm really researching what that is but it's immaterial here. In 2007 dr. Buttar was charged by the North Carolina Medical Board for unethical treatment of cancer patients that resulted in their deaths.

    Dr. Buttar is best known for his abuse of chelation therapy. Claiming it can cure anything from autism to cancer. Chelation therapy has to do with Metals in the body it stinks of quackery but I'm not familiar with it.

    Then we have Dr. Joseph Mercola also and osteopathic physician. But he's also a web entrepreneur that sells controversial supplements.

    The only other name I saw was Dr. David Jockers. My instincts did not lie here we have a chiropractor. Chiropracty is quite controversial due to what can best be described described as a split and it stinks of quackery to. There is this ailment they say exists with regard to alignment of the vertebrae not visible on an X-ray called vertebral subluxation complex. That also stinks of quackery.

    I couldn't find a Wikipedia page about jockers but every single one of these highly hyped advertised alternatives that has not astounded the medical community is almost always peddled by a chiropractor.

    So we have here 2 sort of kind of doctors osteopathic Physicians and a glorified masseuse. One has been charged with serious allegations of the other sells magic pills on the internet.

    I'm willing to bet all of this 40 different speakers that's advertised on kode's website is just an attempt to try and sell you Pebbles to swallow. Store to sell you on retarded treatments that aren't really treatments but clever scams. 'm willing to bet most of the presenters in this program will start their talk with the phrase what the medical industry doesn't want you to know or cancer industry.

    I'd say visit a witch doctor and and take his advice to say ooo eee oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang. What are you talking about it will likely get the same results

    You know the link you provided listed a
    few doctors. Doctors known as osteopathic Physicians.

    One named Rashid Buttar was charged with unethical treatment of cancer patients resulting in their death.

    Another osteopathic physician named Joseph Mercola who pedals controversial supplements

    And the last but not least dr. David jockers who is chiropractor.

    The worst thing you could do for the anti-gmo movement is to present a two osteopathic Physicians one of which was charged with unethical treatment of cancer patients leading to their death and the other who hucksters magic pills on the internet and they f****** chiropractor a glorified masseuse.

    These scumbags don't know s*** about cancer. None of these people are oncologists. Their Wellness pedaling Quacks.

    Genetic Modification is not the same as Genetic Selection. Cats and dogs are 'bred' in order to emphasize traits already encoded in their DNA. It doesnt matter how long you breed a line of dogs, they're never going to secrete scorpion venom because theres no scorpion DNA in them.
    GMO crops are often created in part by adding DNA from other species (BT corn has scorpion DNA jammed in its matrix, for example). Its not the same as 'dogs and cats.'

    BT corn is corn with the BT Delta endotoxin which is derived from Bacillus thuringiensis a bacteria not a scorpion.

    It doesn't matter it's not enough to tell the corn to be a bacteria or a scorpion it's just a chain of amino acids. All DNA contains amino acids. And it's simply sequence differently.

    This has no affect on anything or anyone except for the corn in the larvae that eat it.
