Los activistas no se rinden ante los gigantes transg\u00e9nicos<\/span><\/strong> y, a pesar de que poseen menos recursos, hacen lo posible para llamar la atenci\u00f3n sobre el problema de los organismos gen\u00e9ticamente modificados, conocidos tambi\u00e9n como OGM<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Esta semana ha estado marcada por varias noticias relevantes en el campo de los productos transg\u00e9nicos. En Francia el Consejo de Estado\u00a0anul\u00f3<\/a> el decreto que prohib\u00eda desde marzo de 2012 cultivar en territorio del pa\u00eds semillas de ma\u00edz transg\u00e9nico de la multinacional estadounidense Monsanto. <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Los portavoces de Monsanto han afirmado muchas veces que es falso que se haya demostrado que los organismos gen\u00e9ticamente modificados son perjudiciales para la salud.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

La realidad<\/em>: Varios estudios realizados por expertos asocian las\u00a0dietas basadas en OGM<\/a> a\u00a0tumores grotescos, fallos de los \u00f3rganos<\/span>, lesiones g\u00e1stricas, da\u00f1os hep\u00e1ticos y renales, reacciones al\u00e9rgicas severas e incluso con la muerte prematura. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00bfQuiere o\u00edr algo interesante? Es posible que todo lo que usted ha comido durante toda la vida fuera gen\u00e9ticamente modificado<\/strong>. Y lo mismo se puede decir de sus padres… y de sus abuelos. Durante m\u00e1s de 10.000 a\u00f1os los seres humanos han criado selectivamente plantas y animales. Las vacas que usted ve en los campos tienen poco parecido con los antiguos uros de los que descienden. Y el ma\u00edz que usted come es la versi\u00f3n dom\u00e9stica de una planta salvaje llamada ‘teocinte'\u00bb, dice la\u00a0p\u00e1gina oficial<\/a> de Monsanto. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nLa realidad<\/em>: \u00abA diferencia de las semillas h\u00edbridas, las semillas de los OGM no se crean con m\u00e9todos naturales de baja tecnolog\u00eda. Las variedades gen\u00e9ticamente modificadas de las semillas se obtienen en un laboratorio con sofisticados m\u00e9todos de alta tecnolog\u00eda como la manipulaci\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica<\/strong>. [\u2026] Por ejemplo, Monsanto ha cruzado el material gen\u00e9tico de una bacteria conocida como ‘Bt’ (‘Bacilo thuringiensis’) con el ma\u00edz. El objetivo era crear una planta resistente a las plagas. Esto significa que cualquier par\u00e1sito que intente comer la planta de ma\u00edz morir\u00e1, ya que el pesticida forma parte de las c\u00e9lulas de la planta\u00bb, se explica en un art\u00edculo del portal The Food Renegade<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abDo you want to hear something interesting? It is possible that all that you have eaten over a lifetime was genetically modified. And the same can be said of their parents… and his grandparents. For more than 10,000 years humans have selectively bred plants and animals. The cows that you see in the fields have little resemblance with old uros people descend. And corn you eat is the domestic version of a wild plant called ‘teocintle’ \u00ab, said the official website of Monsanto.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The reality: \u00abUnlike hybrid seeds, the seeds of GMOs are not created with natural methods of low-technology. Genetically modified varieties of seeds are obtained in a laboratory with sophisticated methods of high technology such as genetic manipulation. [\u2026] For example, Monsanto has crossed the genetic material of bacteria known as ‘Bt’ (‘ Bacillus thuringiensis’) with corn. The goal was to create a pest-resistant plant. This means that any parasite who tries to eat the corn plant will die, since the pesticide is part of the plant cells\u00bb, explains in an article in the The Food Renegade website<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
