Golden Rice Is Not A Substitute For Vitamin A

Golden Rice is a genetically modified food intended to reduce the Vitamin A deficiency that plagues people in developing countries, unfortunately it creates more problems than it solves.

The Organic Consumers Association reports that the genetically enginered "golden rice," which the body is supposed to convert into Vitamin A, is not the miracle the Biotech industry would like us to believe it is. Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which several people in developing countries suffer from, occurs when the body is lacking beta-carotene. Golden rice, which isn't even expected to be perfected for at least another five years, would only provide a child who consumed 12 lbs of the golden rice each day with 10% of his/her daily requirement of Vitamin A. The absorption of beta-carotene (Vitamin A) requires other nutrients that people in developing countries lack, and so even if consuming 12 lbs of rice per day was possible, little of the valued nutrients would be absorbed by the child's system. The green leafy vegetables, containing Vitamin A, provide the most healthy solution to malnutrition and health problems. Unfortunately, these vegetable crops are being poisoned by herbicides and fertilizers used to treat golden rice crops. It appears that golden rice is not a cure, but rather a curse instead.

Yeah, we knew that fraud!

- I encourage everyone to go to the link above to read 100 stories even WORSE than this corporate-front "image-maintenence" HOAX! Like how kids are dying from the genetic-insulin, Christ- that's a real heart-breaker! Everytime I read the excuses these Frankendocs make for their murderous "mistakes", I want to personally throttle - and in none too gentle way - each and every last one of them!

- You're going along in life, everything not great, but pretty much O.K.: ya get sick, from some stuff you have been suspicious about for some time, ya try to get through to the docs, to the media, to your government.

Hell, after a year or two of research on this Bio-Crap: ALL of it - not just the G.M.O.-force-feed fraud, you become a raving maniac revolutionary sworn to bring down the whole rotten system!!!

NOW, I can really sympathize with those people like veggies, anti-flourine, anti-soap, anti-aspartym, and anti-chemical concoctions in general, I have been listening to for years!!!

This time its' BIG! No one can ignore this BioTech PLOT against HUMAN LIFE any longer!

"Cures" - don't make me laugh! Its' poison slaughter for BIG BUCKS, from beginning to end! Don't believe a word they say! Its' all lies! Go for the THROAT, baby......

Really: http://www.purefood.org -has got the goods, more than any other I've found on the Netty, Net...
