Exposure of Amway Nutrilite Protein Powder Using Transgene Dependence as "***"

Recently, the theme is "From this morning, a spoonful of protein," NUTRILITE? The protein powder series of advertisements landed successively in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Changchun, Shenyang, Wuhan, Chongqing, Xi'an, and Nanjing. When you are guilty of breakfast nutrition, Nutrilite seems to be the ideal choice. However, according to informed sources, the major components of NUTRILITE protein powder were extracted from US GM soybeans.

The raw materials for genetically modified soybeans destroyed the genetic genes for the safety of genetically modified foods, there is no unified international view, in the genetically modified foods will produce toxins, whether it can pass the DNA protein allergic reaction, whether the impact of antibiotic resistance has not yet been authoritative evidence. So, is GM food safe?

Frankenstein was a physiologist in the 1918 novel written by the British writer Marie Shearly. He was finally destroyed by the monsters he created. Now Europeans refer to the food provided by genetically modified crops as "Frankenstein's food," which means that transgenic plants will cause ecological disasters and threaten human survival. This metaphor certainly exaggerates a bit, but their concerns are not entirely unreasonable.

In 1999, the researcher John Cornell of the United States In a report in the British journal "Nature", Loch was used to feed the butterfly with a leaf coated with Bt maize pollen, resulting in the death of 44% of the larvae.

In 2004, Prof. Haier Bike of the Institute of Kickering Botany of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology found that the Bt toxin that was used to poison the European corn borer in the transgenic Bt-176 corn developed by Syngenta could not be decomposed and was eventually poisoned. Cows.

On May 22, 2005, the British "Israel" also disclosed a report by Monsanto, a well-known biotechnology company, that showed changes in organ and blood components in rats fed with genetically modified foods.

On November 16, 2005, a study published by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) showed that an experiment lasting four weeks showed that inflammation was produced in the lungs of mice fed genetically modified peas. The mice developed allergic reactions and were more sensitive to other allergens. According to this, they stopped the 10-year genetically modified project that cost USD 3 million.

In 2006, Irina, a scientist at the Institute of Advanced Neuroscience and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dr. Elmakova’s study found that mice that consumed GM soy food had more than half of their pups died in the first three weeks after birth, which was six times the death rate from non-genetically modified soy rats.

In 2007, under the auspices of the Austrian government, Prof Zetek and his research team conducted experiments on the “transgenic herbicide-resistant corn NK603 and transgenic insect-resistant corn MON810 hybrids” developed by Mengdushan. After a period of up to 20 weeks of observation, it was found that the transgenic product affected the reproductive ability of mice.

In October and November of 2007, the United States’ New York Times and other media reported that after a long and thorough follow-up observation, it was found that there were two kinds of genetically modified corn plants that caused the damage of the butterfly to survive, and the degree of threat to the ecological environment has exceeded the acceptable level. For this reason, the European Union has already made a preliminary decision to ban the use of the seeds of the GM corn.

In 2008, American scientists also confirmed that mice fed with genetically modified corn for a long time could suffer damage to the immune system. The results of the study were published in the same year in the journal Agriculture and Food Chemistry.

In December 2009, French scientists published new research results and confirmed that the genetically modified maize produced by Monsanto Company is toxic to the liver and kidneys of rats. These side effects are gender-dependent and often dose-dependent; other side effects are also found in Heart, adrenal, spleen, and hematopoietic systems in rats.

On April 16, 2010, Russian scientists announced new independent research results, which further proves that hamsters will be extinct after eating three generations of genetically modified soybeans!

According to the composition of NUTRILITE protein powder, the product consists of soy protein isolate, concentrated milk protein, lecithin and tricalcium phosphate. According to the source, the domestically sold Amway Nutrilite protein powder from the United States uses the US-made soybean extract. Earlier, there were domestic media reports that the United States used GM soybeans to destroy the domestic soybean industry chain. The deputy secretary-general of the Heilongjiang Soybean Association Wang Xiaoyu was shocking and told reporters that the importation of genetically modified soybeans is a trend that is threatening the domestic soybean industry step by step.

In August 2003, the U.S. government and Wall Street began implementing plans to use soybean futures to destroy more than 70% of China's fat crushing plants, namely edible oil factories, and then purchased these closed companies at low prices, marking China in China. The mainland quietly sells. As a result, the U.S. GM soybean edible oils began to be sold in the country and quietly entered the Chinese family.

Although the United States is a large producer of genetically modified food, there is very little domestic consumption of genetically modified foods. Wheat is the staple food of Europe and the United States. The Monsanto Company has passed the GM Wheat Safety Certificate, but it has met with strong resistance and is afraid to grow it. The GM soybeans and corn grown in the United States are mainly used for animal feed and alcohol fuel production, and it is also exported to developing countries including Africa and China.

Dependence is as strong as heroin in the famous community. More netizens report that when taking Amway NUTRILITE protein, there are signs of improvement in physical condition. However, the body immediately stops after taking the drug off. It feels better than before taking it. Many netizens also stated that although Amway Nutrilite Protein Powder is a natural protein powder, it is a plant protein that is far less powerful than animal protein, and the high price is also questioned.

In the United States, if there is more than 0.9% genetically modified ingredients in any food, there will be obvious signs on the food packaging to warn consumers. In China, there are no indication labels. The domestic sales of Amway NUTRILITE protein powder did not disclose any genetically modified ingredients.
