The Creeping Edge Of GMO Plants
It’s rather amusing, to position this story right after the previous one. But gene engineers have come up with a tomato which benefits (lowers) LDL cholesterol levels.
In fact 2 studies just published also concerned cholesterol (that’s in addition to the one I just commented on, using IV infusions of “good” cholesterol).
Study 1
In the first study, people who took a probiotic supplement containing a beneficial bacteria saw their cholesterol levels improve, and in the second study a freeze-dried concoction made from a genetically engineered tomato had a similar effect on mice.
In study number one, 127 people with high cholesterol took a twice-daily supplement of a special strain of the Lactobacillus reuteri bacterium for nine weeks. They experienced an average 11.6 percent drop in LDL “bad” cholesterol and a 9.1 percent drop in total cholesterol, compared to those taking a placebo.
That’s better than statins!

Howard Schultz Doesn’t Care About You
The slick, oozy Mr Howard Schultz (owner of Starbuck’s) doesn’t give a damn about you. In fact he doesn’t give a damn about anybody. In the light if the latest revelation that GMO foods cause massive tumors in animals, under careful experimental conditions, you would expect that all concerned food industry suppliers would stop dealing […]
