Genetically modified (GM) soybeans grown in the United States are the source of the main ingredient of Amway Nutrilite protein powder, according to professional insider.
The world remains divided over the safety of GM foods. There is no authoritative evidence that GM foods produce toxins, that protein in GM foods cause allergies, and that GM foods increase antibiotic resistance. Then, are GM foods safe to eat?
Frankenstein, a physiological researcher in British writer Mary Shelley's novel “Frankenstein” published in 1918, was ultimately destroyed by a monster he created. Europeans now call GM foods “Frankenstein foods” to send a warning signal that GM crops could cause an ecological disaster threatening the survival of the human race.
An immune response study released by the Australia-based Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) on Nov. 16, 2005 found that after being fed with GM peas for four weeks, mice became inflamed in the lungs and suffered from allergies. The research also showed that protein in the GM peas primed the mice to react to other food antigens. Given the findings of the research, the CSIRO terminated a GM pea project that had last for 10 years and cost three million U.S. dollars.
Sponsored by the Austrian government, Prof. Juergen Zentek and his research team carried out a 20-week experiment in 2007 on a hybrid of the herbicide-tolerant GM corn NK603 and insect-resistant GM corn MON810 developed by Monsanto Company. The hybrid was found to have adversely affected the mice’s reproductive capacity.
