Genetically modified corn is used to create high fructose corn syrup, flavors, starches, flours, proteins, sugars and most of the other ingredients which make up our processed foods. The US refuses to allow the labeling of foods which contain genetically modified ingredients (like corn) to be labeled to indicate that fact so we are looking at the possibility of undeclared birth control “foods” rendering whole populations sterile. The US Government, starting with George Herbert Walker Bush, has adopted the policy that genetically modified foods are the same as unmodified ones. The sterility corn is therefore, under this policy, the same as natural corn.
If the US has its way, all such products will be acceptable for international trade without any labeling. It behooves the other countries of the world to face down the demands of the US and its allies at the Codex table to make sure that no such permission is granted, that a ban on GM food is put in place for the international trade of seed and processed food, flours and other consumables, that animals are not fed GM feeds and that all genetically modified foods imported from countries such as the US bear not only the information that they contain GM food, but the specific strain which they contain listed on their label for both bulk processors and the final consumer
A small California biotech company, Epicyte, in 2001 announced the development of genetically engineered corn which contained a spermicide which made the semen of men who ate it sterile. At the time Epicyte had a joint venture agreement to spread its technology with DuPont and Syngenta, two of the sponsors of the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault. Epicyte was since acquired by a North Carolina biotech company. Astonishing to learn was that Epicyte had developed its spermicidal GMO corn with research funds from the US Department of Agriculture, the same USDA which, despite worldwide opposition, continued to finance the development of Terminator technology, now held by Monsanto.
DuPont i Syngenta sve je jasno, zar ne?
