The only known GMO with inbred human traits in cultivation today, a GM rice product made by biotechnology company Ventria Bioscience is currently being grown on 3,200 acres in Junction City, Kansas -- and possibly elsewhere -- and most people have no idea about it.

Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (NaturalNews) Unless the rice you buy is certified organic, or comes specifically from a farm that tests its rice crops for genetically modified (GM) traits, you could be eating rice tainted with actual human genes. The only known GMO with inbred human traits in cultivation today, a GM rice product made by biotechnology company Ventria Bioscience is currently being grown on 3,200 acres in Junction City, Kansas -- and possibly elsewhere -- and most people have no idea about it. Learn more: http://www.naturalne...l#ixzz2AoAvnm6e Ventria Bioscience is a biotech company with a focus on human nutrition and human therapeutics. The company was established in 1993 in Colorado. The company's core technology is a genetically modified crop-based protein production system (also called a "pharming" system) called ExpressTec. ExpressTec uses self-pollinating crops such as rice and barley to minimize the risk of gene flow normally associated with transgenic plants. Plant-produced proteins also offer advantages for cell culture and bioprocessing use because they replace animal derived components, which have become unpopular due to concerns about prion contamination. The company offers contract biomanufacturing services using its ExpressTec platform, and, through its subsidiary InVitria, sells a line of its proteins that it manufactures for the life sciences research market. The company is conducting research in the field of zoonotic disease, specifically in lyme disease and rabies, with a goal of developing vaccines and offers some its recombinant proteins to life sciences researchers under a program called BioShare. In April 2012 Ventria publicized results of a Phase 2 clinical study of VEN100 to reduce incidence of antibiotic associated diarrhea in hospitalized patients conducted by investigators at Johns Hopkins University, which had been published in 2011. Patients treated with VEN100 concurrently with antibiotic treatment were at a reduced risk of experiencing diarrhea compared to the participants in the control group and VEN100 was also found to be safe and well tolerated, with no observed adverse events in the study. Previously, the results of another study found that an electrolyte solution incorporating Ventria’s recombinant lactoferrin and lysozyme helped children recover faster from diarrhea. The results showed that the children receiving Ventria’s product recovered 30% faster, were more likely to recover from their diarrhea and were less likely to relapse into another episode. In March, 2012, Ventria announced an exclusive collaboration with Merck KGaA (EMD Millipore) in which Ventria will use its ExpressTec system to manufacture and exclusively supply a recombinant protein to Merck/EMD Millipore. http://en.wikipedia....tria_Bioscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while this GM rice with added human traits has never been approved for human consumption, it is now being cultivated in open fields It is not being raised for eating. Its being raised for drug use. It is not the first one to use human genes in medicine. If you or anyone you know is a diabetic and uses humulin insulin, you are using human genetic material mixed with genetic material of E. coli. You know, the bacterium that gets in the news for food poisoning. The article was written with a fear mongering bias to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
