CRISPR - modifying genes

This will affect human evolution!

What are the scientists saying about CRISPR?

Don’t be the guy who refuses to look at the ideas around gene editing! We may not like the ideas but there are many in science who love them!

John Craig Venter, mentioned in the above video, has attracted my attention too many times over the recent decade. I wrote about him in depth on Hive blog. You can find it here.

I am certain that I have only summarised the influence, work and interests of John Craig Venter and there will be more to be seen and said.
However, I will leave you to follow your own intuition and research further. I will be happy to hear from you if you do.

THIS is the present and future of medicine and food production.

In fact, we have been consuming their genetically modified organisms for at least a decade. They're hidden, un-labelled in foods where we'd least expect to find them!

For example, I've been researching bacteria for cheese making and discovered that they GMO’d one for fat-free yogurt and cheddar cheese and now I see that my full fat yoghurt is made with skim milk, to which cream is added. WHY? It doesn't make sense to begin making yoghurt with skim milk, only to add cream to it. So, even plain yoghurt is GMO’d and adulterated now.

NOTHING is PURE and NATURAL anymore!

8 January 2010 - Fat-free yoghurt made using a galactose-positive exopolysaccharide-producing recombinant strain of Streptococcus thermophilus "To prevent textural defects in low-fat and fat-free yoghurts, fat substitutes are routinely added to milk. In situ production of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by starter cultures is an acknowledged alternative to the addition of bio-thickeners. With the aim of increasing in situ EPS production, a recombinant galactose-positive EPS+ Streptococcus thermophilus strain, RD-534-S1, was generated and compared with the parent galactose negative EPS+ strain RD-534." https://corpus.ulaval.ca/jspui/handle/20.500.11794/38728

Bio-thickeners?

They mean the SLIME MOLD they put in dairy products, like cream cheese and whipping cream. Have you noticed that the creaminess of cream cheese is gone. It's been replaced with SLIME MOLD.

If you haven't already started growing your own and saving seeds, you're likely eating GMOs in everything you buy!

So what are the natural alternatives?

It is not necessary to use slime mold as a thickener! Here is an article appraising 16 natural thickening foods from Jane's Healthy Kitchen. and here is another from Mark Sisson, author of The Keto Reset Diet.

Obviously CRISPR genetic alteration is a huge subject so please do not hesitate to contribute to this post in comments! I will continue researching, as always!
