GUEST JD HANSEN PREDICTED THE HORRIBLE GMO SALMON YEARS AGO

<p><strong>Food and Travel Nation</strong><br /> <strong>with Elizabeth Dougherty<br /></strong>From the Show Archives<br /> <br /></p> <p>We warned you in 2013 about GMO rDNA salmon audio interview.</p> <p>UPDATE<br /> We warned you in 2013 about GMO rDNA salmon. Audio interview. The FDA has now approved gmo/bioengineered salmon for sale in the United States. Aquabounty and related entities were sued by non-profit organizations to stop the sale of the unusual salmon. After corrections were made to address environmental concerns, such as 1) gmo salmon "will not" commingle with wild salmon and 2) the females are given three chromosomes (?) so they will be sterile after they are somehow grown from gmo eggs in Prince Edward Island. They are raised in a fish farm in Indiana until ready for harvest.<br /> None of this addresses the effect on humans from consuming altered DNA fish developed in a lab. The fish contain anti-freeze genes from the Ocean Pout as well as a growth hormone from the Chinook as outlined in the interview below. They contain three chromosomes through gynogenesis, where females are desexualized and male DNA is silenced. This is done through shock treatment at the PEI facility. This method protects the technology from being used by others (trade secret) and prevents the fish from randomly breeding with other wild fish, although these are basically unisex fish that are changed on an evolutionary level.<br /> The effects of this alteration of alleles to a unisex new salmon on humans when the fish is consumed is unknown. This salmon is altered such that the FDA said it should be in "FDA’s Electronic Animal Drug Registration and Listing System", as a food drug. Aquabounty is supposed to police itself and report any adverse genetic changes and any changes in mortality or morbidity.<br /> There is no third party requirement for testing. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any testing on humans who consume the salmon during the entire 30 year period Aquabounty has sought approval. (There is a blog link from
