GMO Golden Rice Trials Fail - Stunted Growth and Reduced Yield

6/3/2017

0 Comments

 
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major food crop of the world, essential for the survival of more than half of the world’s population. Worldwide, approximately 480 million metric tons of milled rice is produced annually, with about 90 percent of the world’s rice produced and consumed in the six Asian countries (China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Japan). Developing nations, particularly in Asia, are heavily reliant on rice for their dietary caloric requirements.
Inherently, the endosperm of rice lacks provitamin A, resulting in a serious vitamin A deficiency among populations eating predominantly rice. In theory, enriching rice endosperm with provitamin A via genetic engineering (GE) may alleviate vitamin A deficiencies; the resulting product is known as Golden Rice 1 (GR1), a series of lines developed from a long grain rice variety Cocodrie by Syngenta, which has accumulated up to 7μg/g carotenoids per endosperm. However this process is entirely synthetic, as rice is unable to incorporate provitamin A via conventional breeding.

The highest increase in carotenoids levels within rice was accomplished when enzymes with higher activity were replaced by others in previous series. This replacement was shown to boost the production of carotenoids, reaching up to 37 μg/g in a separate long grain rice variety Kaybonnet, is referred as Golden Rice2 (GR2) series.
In an attempt to commercialize GE rice, researchers at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI), have crossed the GR2 series with an Indian rice, Swarna, and were faced with some surprising results. The GE plants resulted in abnormal and stunted growth, as measured by size, and reduced yield, as measured by grain number, when compared to the non-GE parent, Swarna.

The researchers have identified several causes of the results, including but not limited to, an imbalance in hormones, and unintended effects from introgression, leading to a significant reduction in chlorophyll. The reduction in chlorophyll may be the culprit causing the reduction in growth and yield - clearly a deep, systemic problem for GE developers.

Nonetheless, this experiment sheds light on the unintended consequences of genetically modifying organisms. In fact, these effects would have gone unnoticed had this experiment not taken place.

GE Golden Rice is far too often hyped by GMO proponents as a victory for genetic modification, claiming that these products will "feed the world" and save developing nations from dietary deficiencies. This new study emits uncertainty on the accountability  of not only Golden Rice, but the biotechnology industry as a whole.

High Fructose Corn Syrup Tainted with Mercury

4/20/2017

As it turns out, a large percentage of the infamous and ubiqutous high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been found to be contaminated with mercury, however this shouldn't be the only reason the sweetener should be avoided. Mercury, the chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number of 80, is well established as a known carcinogen in all forms (Kaur, Kamli & Ali, 2011). As the only metallic element that is a liquid at room temperature, this extemely toxic heavy metal has been observed to accumlate in the tissues of the body, cauing nerve and brain damage.

A group of researchers evaluated HFCS from three different manufacturers and determined that the 9 of the 20 samples were found to contain levels of mercury ranging from below a detection limit of 0.005 to 0.570 micrograms mercury per gram of HFCS (Dufault et al., 2009).

A seperate group of researchers detected mercury in about one-third (or 17) of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first or second highest labeled
ingredient - including products by Quaker, Hershey's, Kraft, Coca-Cola and many more (Wallinga, Sorensen, Mottl & Yablon, 2009). Many of these products are marketed towards children, a huge portion of population that is more vulnerable to the toxic effects of mercury.

How Did Mercury Get Into HFCS?

tyHFCS has been made and is continued to be made using “mercury-grade” caustic soda. Caustic soda is produced by a mercury cell process which is contaminated with as much as 1 ppm, in some cases. Mercury contamination within soft drinks or drink mixes made from this caustic soda has been acknowledged by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies as early as 2000. Other common food ingredients derived from this mercury cell chlor-alkali plants process include citric acid and sodium benzoate, a food preservative found in many foods also containing HFCS. These other ingredients have not yet been tested for mercury contamination. Other common household products made from caustic soda also may be contaminated with low ppb levels of mercury, including shampoo, toilet tissue, bleach and toothpaste (Wallinga, Sorensen, Mottl & Yablon, 2009).

What Is Caustic Soda?

Chlorine is a widespread chemical building block used to make a vairety of products. Since 1884, one process for synthesizing chlorine has been to pump saltwater through a tank of mercury, also known as a mercury “cell.” These mercury cell (chlor-alkali) processing plants average 56 mercury cells each, with as much as 8,000 pounds of mercury per cell. Today, the chlorine industry remains the largest intentional consumer of mercury. While the mercury in the plants is reportedly left behind and reused, this process does not account for how volatile mercury is, and it is well known that contamination occurs throughout the process. These processing plants do not only produce chlorine, but a number of other products as well, including caustic soda (lye), sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and hydrochloric acid. Regardless of the product created, it and the wastewater end up being contaminated with mercury. Newer technology does exist for producing chlorine without mercury. However, caustic soda that is destined for the production of HFCS comes from either mercury cell or other processing plants (Wallinga, Sorensen, Mottl & Yablon, 2009).

How Is HFCS Made?

HFCS is produced in a highly specialized, industrial process using a myriad of enzymes and other materials, however either membrane-grade or mercury-grade caustic soda can be used. When creating HFCS, caustic soda helps separate the corn starch from the corn kernel. Caustic soda and hydrochloric acid can be used throughout the process to maintain a pH balance. Ultimately, the mercury-contaminated caustic soda may contaminate whatever products that are made from it, like HFCS. Indirectly, caustic soda also can contaminate the final food products to which HFCS is added (Wallinga, Sorensen, Mottl & Yablon, 2009).

Avoid HFCS At All Costs

Hidden in a wide variety of food-like products, including soda and ketchup, HFCS is prevalent throughout developed nations. Considering that American's consume roughly 50 grams of HFCS each day (equivalent to 12.5 teaspoons of sugar), even if a small portion of that is contaminated with mercury, the act should be concerning. Not to mention that HFCS, let alone added sugar, is linked a myriad of health deficits, including but not limited to increased risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, nonalcholic fatty liver disease, and other serious health conditions (Rippe & Etherton, 2012). There are enough reasons as it is to avoid HFCS, even if it hasn't been observed to be contaminated with mercury.
