Are GMOs not GMOs? How to tell?

First, I'll start with the fact that it is quite difficult to determine the presence of GMOs in a product in the laboratory. There is a huge margin of error.

This time.

And two - this is that the very method of determination is far from perfect. The gene is inserted into a specific piece of DNA. And if, for example, a gene is inserted incorrectly, not into this abstracted link, then it will not be found. In the same way, they will not find a built-in gene of any other type of GM organism - because it is a different gene, and is built into another link. And they are looking for a specific match.

Well, for example. Let's take potatoes. GM potatoes with the scorpion gene. Once in the laboratory, the first thing they will do is check how many types of GM potatoes have been registered that are allowed for sale on the territory of the Russian Federation. For example, 3. One - with the snowdrop gene inserted in one part of the chain, the other - with the crocodile gene inserted in a completely different place, and the third with the Colorado potato beetle gene inserted in a different DNA segment. Thus, even if your potato is definitely GMO, but certification for this type of GMO has not been obtained, the scorpion gene will never be determined. Just because it is almost impossible to go through the entire DNA strand and check it thoroughly for ALL POSSIBLE invariant insertions! In any case, it is so expensive and time-consuming that it is unrealistic.

And now - attention. In Russia, there are very few types of registered and licensed GM products.

BUT THIS DOES NOT MEAN AT ALL THAT THERE ARE LITTLE GMO IN RUSSIA. THIS MEANS ONLY THAT IT IS VERY IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY IN OUR LABORATORIES.

Therefore, forget about labeling. We will take a different path.

To begin with, it should be understood that CULTIVATION of GM products is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation, but its sale to the population is allowed. Naturally, they, the bastards, need our lands, and we ourselves are ballast, from which they are trying to get rid of.

Therefore, the products grown on the state farms of the Russian Federation are most likely not GM products. If state farms buy seeds from a reliable source, or use their own seed fund, then this is definitely a pure species.

However, the problem is that today there are almost no state farms left. All the land was bought or leased by foreign agricultural holdings (of course, registered in the name of Russian uncle Vasya). So, these agricultural holdings are sowing and planting outright filth in our country. And sprinkle abundantly with the same muck.

Especially in the case of rentals. They take land for 5 years, and kill them thoroughly during this time. All sorts of GMOs, fertilizers, growth hormones and roundups.

Basically, these products went for processing - into chips, for example, canning, soups and fast food, briquette cooking … etc. Because before, people did not take such vegetables and fruits. They were still normal, and people could compare and choose.

Therefore, try to buy as few semi-finished products as possible - dumplings, dumplings, pancakes, pizza, etc. These foods are usually just loaded with transgenes.

However, now there are almost no quality vegetables left. Private farmers only have, which is becoming less and less. Again, how conscientious are they and what seeds are they buying?.. Basically, everyone has already learned about GMO poisoning, and in any case, IN THE REGION, they do not trade in muck. If you have grown disgusting, then they go to sell away from home.

By the way, in our country a sufficient amount of really high-quality, elite products is still being grown. Only all of it is exported. And GMOs are delivered to us in exchange.

Now about specific products.

I am convinced that hypermarkets mainly trade in poison. In any case, imported products that enter our hypernets are products of large food transcorporations. It is foolish to think that their food can be natural. Ordinary Russian farmers will not get on the counter of a hypermarket. For, for example, CROSSROADS to take your goods, you need to pay several tens of thousands of dollars in bribes. The same is with the rest of the networks.

However, for the most part, all of our traditional cereals are non-GMO. Including peas and beans. Till. (not talking about green peas). American GMOs are already starting to buy wheat - and their high-quality ones are being exported.

Basically, our wheat is still good. As well as flour and pasta. Rice. Question. Krasnodar seems to be natural. Expensive varieties of rice, eminent, are also real. Basmatti, for example. Anything steamed and polished is under great doubt.

Buckwheat. Ideal groats. She and raw food cereal - buckwheat can be poured overnight with water or kefir and it will swell, become porridge. This porridge can be eaten raw. This is as useful as possible !!! In extreme cases, you can boil. And buckwheat is also valuable because its genetic modification does not work in any way.:))) In a word - blissful food.

The same is about white cabbage. There is no GMO. Can not be. Therefore, eat boldly. Stew, boil, make salads, ferment, bake, gnaw on leaves … It's so useful! Especially for our region.

All other crops are genetically modified.

So how do you define them?

Let's start with fruits then.

Fruit trees of the countries of the former USSR are definitely not GMO. Therefore, you can take Russian apples, and Abkhaz tangerines, and Uzbek pomegranates, and grapes … Russian cherry, berries … all this is ours, dear and natural.

But with the countries of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Israel, India, China, Latin America, Argentina, the USA, Canada, Europe, it is not at all so rosy. Transgenes have been grown there for a long time. Transgenic bananas, oranges, kiwis, grapes, and more on the list … Finishing with corn, tomatoes and green peas. Therefore, I do not advise you to take risks. Yes, avocados, it seems, are still real - and they smell good, and have a pronounced taste,.. and there are good pineapples … but run into …

Imported strawberries will definitely not come to us natural. You yourself know how it smells and how much strawberries are from the garden. Or from a grandmother's basket. It has nothing to do with what is called strawberries and is sold in stores.

This, by the way, is one of the basic rules: a natural product smells. Smells nectar. It is fragrant. GMO either does not smell, or smells “somehow wrong,” unpleasant. Do you like the smell of bananas, for example? I don’t. I have lived in Egypt for a long time, and I know how REAL bananas smell. It's the same with taste. The natural product is delicious. He is hungry. GMO - tastes repulsive in some way.

Remember this rule. If you bought a product, but its taste seems repulsive, unpleasant, tasteless to you, do not eat it. This is a sure sign of poisoning. It will not bring you health.

A few words about China.

I would not buy Chinese products at all. Except for dried seaweed. Everything else they have is doubtful. Even GMO tea. Definitely GM Chinese pears. In the state where they grow these pears, all the bees are extinct. And they manually pollinate these pears. Tobacco, with GMO tobacco, China began its transgenicization many years ago.

Yes, here's another important point. GM products are sterile. And it has little or no growth momentum. That is, if you eat a tangerine, and the bone in it already contains a green living embryo, this is a real tangerine. And he is full of vitality. This rule applies to all products. Potatoes, if they grow, are already a good indicator. She is most likely not GMO. And certainly not treated with radiation. Yes, yes, now, to store the potato crop, it is industrially irradiated with radiation. In order not to germinate. And then they sell it to us in the spring.

About cheeses and milk. Basically, now they began to add GM sourdough to cheeses. By the way, Oltermani is also in doubt. Because wherever a microbiological starter is written, it is about GM bacteria.

GM sourdough is found in almost all sour cream. The best option is cream (sour cream) from a private milkmaid. Absolutely modified all dairy products with the BIO mark. biokefirs, bioyogurts, etc. I looked at the certificates. These are GM ingredients.

All modified soybeans. DO NOT believe that a good one is being sold to you. The same as milk powder, cream powder. They are almost always diluted with soy milk. Soy is also found in sweets and buttokniki. Confectionery - vegetable cream cakes are GM soy cream.

Badyazhat the same cottage cheese. Read carefully the composition. Taste it. Find one good one and stick with it. Or buy from a private owner.

One of the most reliable sources of healthy products is our Slavic grandfathers and grandmothers (not to be confused with the trays of migrants, where the same low-quality imported products are mainly brought)

Bread that stays fresh for a long time almost certainly contains GMOs. The products of such companies as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Mars, Cattberry, Snickers were convicted of using transgenes by Greenpeace. Do not buy Nestlé, DANON, Similak products categorically. This is where the weapon of genocide is. They screwed up on many points. And GMOs are among the first. In general, it is better not to take imported goods … Although. now almost all Russian enterprises have been bought out by the same foreign trans-corporations. And they drive the same nonsense there under Russian brands …

Do not plant GMOs in Belarus. You can buy green peas and other canned goods from them. Therefore, their milk is of high quality. So strikingly different in taste from ours. There are also zones in Russia that have declared themselves free from GMOs. For example, the Belgorod region. Feel free to buy their products. From potatoes to granulated sugar with milk.

There are many GMO drugs now. It is better to refuse them altogether. From GM interferon … to GM insulin … GM nutritional supplements …

IN GENERAL, YOU CAN LIVE. It is difficult at first, but then you can learn to navigate. Stick to the basic rules, trust your body. Eat more homemade, natural, then your sensitivity to chemistry will sharply increase.

Well, and land already. Have your own, from the garden potatoes, currants, strawberries, cherries and apples …. - this is so wonderful !!!

Health to you. And prosperity.

When purchasing products in a store by labels (for examples of labels and comments to them, see the appendix), you can indirectly determine the likelihood of GMO content in the product. If the label says that the product is made in the USA and contains soy, corn, rapeseed or potatoes, there is a very good chance that it contains GM components.

Most products based on soy that are not produced in the United States but outside of Russia can also be transgenic. If the label says "vegetable protein" proudly, it is most likely soy and very likely transgenic. Often GMOs can be hidden behind E indices. However, this does not mean that all E supplements contain GMOs or are transgenic. You just need to know exactly which E can, in principle, contain GMOs or their derivatives. This is, first of all, soy lecithin or lecithin E 322: it binds water and fats together and is used as a fat element in milk mixtures, cookies, chocolate, riboflavin (B2) otherwise known as E 101 and E 101A, can be produced from GM- microorganisms. It is added to cereals, soft drinks, baby food, and weight loss products. Caramel (E 150) and xanthan (E 415) can also be produced from GM grains.

Other additives that may contain GM components: E 153, E 160d, E 161c, E 308-9, E-471, E 472a, E 473, E 475, E 476b, E 477, E479a, E 570, E 572, E 573, E 620, E 621, E 622, E 633, E 624, E 625, E951. Sometimes the names of additives on the labels are indicated only in words, they also need to be able to navigate. Let's consider the most common components.

Soybean Oil: Used in sauces, pastes, cakes and deep fried foods in the form of fat to add extra flavor and quality. Vegetable oil or vegetable fats: Most often found in cookies, "tightly" fried foods such as chips. Maltodextrin: A type of starch that acts as a "main agent" used in baby food, powdered soups, and powdered desserts. Glucose or Glucose Syrup: Sugar that can be produced from cornstarch is used as a sweetener. Found in drinks, desserts and instant foods. Dextrose: Like glucose, it can be made from cornstarch. Used in cakes, chips and biscuits to achieve a brown color. Also used as a sweetener in high energy sports drinks. Aspartame, aspasvit, aspamix: The sweetener that can be produced by the GM bacteria is restricted in a number of countries and has been reported to have a lot of complaints from consumers in the United States, mainly related to loss of consciousness. Aspartame is found in soda, diet sodas, gum, ketchup, and more.

Many believe that the word "modified starch" on a product means that the product contains GMOs. This even led to the fact that in 2002 the Legislative Assembly of the Perm Region at its meeting included yoghurts with modified starch in the list of GM products illegally distributed in the region. In fact, modified starch is produced chemically without the use of genetic engineering. But starch itself can be of genetically engineered origin if it was obtained from GM corn, GM potatoes.
