Monsanto Bt Toxins Damage Red Blood Cells

The Lowlands Community Garden will grow only from genuine non-GMO heirloom seeds.  We say NO to Monsanto!

Independent scientific studies continue to expose the harmful effects of Genetically Modified Organisms.  We feel that it’s vitally important that we grow produce that is wholesome, nourishing and safe and so we choose only non-GMO seed.

“Scientists tested levels ranging from 27 mg to 270 mg over a seven day period, it was remarkably evident that the Cry toxins were hemotoxic, even at the lowest doses administered. Hemotoxins destroy red blood cells, disrupt blood clotting and cause organ degeneration and tissue damage.

The number of RBC’s, (red blood cells) as well as their size, were significantly reduced, and so were the levels of hemoglobin for oxygen to attach to. Every factor regarding RBC’s indicated some level of damage for all levels of toxin administered and across all cry proteins. The tests clearly demonstrated that Cry proteins resulting from the Bt toxin were cytotoxic (quality of being toxic to cells) to bone marrow cells. Studies contiually show that these proteins kill blood cells by targeting the cell membranes of RBC’s.”  Read MORE HERE………………
