Ok I haven't written in a while to give the illusion of time.........and I have been super busy the past few weeks raking in all my millions of dollars from blue apples!!
After a few "years" my blue apples have been popping up EVERYWHERE....in applesauce, apple juice, apple pie, baby food etc.etc.etc
Now some strange things have been happening.....people have started to turn blue...could this be because of my apples??? I researched them for a whole 90 days and nothing turned blue....this could not be true absolutely not true!!! My blue apples are feeding the world ...we need these apples....my apples will save the world!!! ( and I need my millions and millions of dollars!!)
What I am really trying to get at is there are just things we don't know about GMOs ( genetically modified organisms). There have been no long term studies done on the effects of them in the human body. NONE!
With out "geeking out" too much there is much we do not know about what goes on with DNA. Now we all learn that DNA replicates, DNA can mutate but..... there are other things that can happen that most people are unaware of. Such as cross linking and trans-location. We also know that there are "good" mutations ( these things can lead to certain immunity) and "bad" mutations ( that can cause certain diseases). Why do these things happen....how do they happen??? Well we don't exactly know everything about the human genome. Much of it has been mapped and we have found genes that dictate many things. HOWEVER.... these genes can mutate....they can get crossed with other genes..... some of our genes are "silent" and don't get "turned on" with out having other chemical present. To say the least....there is A LOT of room for error!!
So what happens when we eat things that have genes implanted into them ??? Can these genes cause our genes to mutate??? Could these genes act as activators to some of our silent genes??? WE DON"T KNOW....let me say that again....WE DON"T KNOW. There have been no studies done on this. ( most have the studies that have been done on GMO crops by independent scientists have been discredited. I understand the passion that people have on these subject but the research MUST be kept credible!!) ( And it is very possible that with enough money people can be persuaded to find certain things in their research....this makes me shutter!!)
Is it possible that eating blue apples could turn people blue?? I have no idea....but many things are possible. Are GMOs safe? I can't say for certainty yes or no, but we should all have the choice to decide if we want to eat them or feed them to our families.
