Jeffrey Smith, the world's leading expert and best-selling author on the health risks of genetically modified organisms in food (GMOs) interviews Dr. Jack Heinemann.

Great! and Thanks for posting that link, Todd... which leads to many others by Jeff Smith on the GMO topic.

This fits right in to a post I'm finalizing now which is Part 2 of the Dietary Enlightenment Tips... on Facts we need to know about GMOs. I rely on the knowledge of Jeff Smith from Institute for Responsible Technology as he is a recognized world leader on the topic.

Jackie: Surely this isn't the Jeffrey Smith, world expert on GMO to whom you refer. Hopefully the Jeffrey Smith you are citing has better credentials to speak on the subject.

Professor of Medicine, Cell Biologist/ epigeneticist Bruce H. Lipton PH.D:

“What we understand from epigenetics -- the new science of how environmental signals control our genes -- we’re introduced to where do the signals come from that select the genes and modify our genetic activity? Well, we used to say that everything is due to the genes, but now we find that a class of molecules called “micro RNA” – they’re very small RNA molecules and they’re found in all the cells -- and these micro-RNA molecules are molecules that adjust the reading of our genes and change the readout of the genes. Well, a new understanding about the micro-RNA molecules says this:

"When we eat food, the micro-RNA from the food is picked up by the digestive system and not broken down. The micro-RNA is taken into our own body intact, and now what they’ve found is that the micro-RNA from food ends up in our own cells - like in our liver and other cells in our body - and these micro-RNAs still have the same function: they change our genetics and they change the readout of our genome. And the significance is profound: it says when we eat genetically modified food we’re eating a new class of micro-RNAs that have never been in the world before, and yet these micro-RNAs are picked up by our biology and adjust our own genetics, so in a sense the old story “we are what we eat” actually now has a biochemical foundation. And now all of a sudden you can say if that’s true, why would you risk your life eating a genetically modified food containing micro-RNAs that can totally destroy our own biology and cause great problems in our lives?"
