Purple GMO Tomato Inferior to Nature's Offerings
In what appears to be an attempt at softening the public`s attitude
toward genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), British scientists have
engineered a purple tomato, rich in antioxidants, by splicing certain
genes from the snapdragon flower with those of a tomato in order to
create a "super tomato" that they say may fight cancer. Cancer-prone
mice that lacked the p53 gene, also called the "genome guardian", |
were fed the altered tomatoes in a
scientific study and were shown to live an average of 40 days longer
than other p53-deficient mice on a standard diet. But do these findings
tell the whole story?
Of the hundreds of worldwide sources that reported these findings, some
honestly side-noted that natural tomatoes already have
cancer-fighting properties, also mentioning that natural, unmodified
fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, currants, and a host of other
dark red and dark purple fruits already contain high levels of
cancer-fighting anthocyanins. Others were not so forthright, shrouding
nature in inferiority as this "franken-fruit" was hoisted to miracle
status.
The study is clear and limited in its findings that this new fruit has
been shown to lengthen the life-span of a group of cancer-prone mice as
opposed to other cancer-prone mice not fed the fruit. The study did
not investigate the long-term safety of genetically-modified foods,
especially in human beings, and it was not tested alongside natural
alternatives. It merely "discovered" what many health-minded people
already know – that high levels of antioxidants are vital to maintaining
health and preventing cancer cells from forming in the body. Yet reports
of the study`s findings vary in exotic verbiage, describing the find as
everything from a new treatment to help keep cancer "at bay", to
celebrating it as a new possible cure for cancer. Still others glowingly
endorsed it as a unique new form of cancer prevention, which was
not part of the study at all. Why all the hype when we already have a
myriad of cancer-fighting fruits and vegetables?
One writer begins her report on this study by declaring,
"Now that we have tried and failed to win the cancer war, it`s time to
change our strategy. A new study suggests that eating a new genetically
modified tomato may help prevent many types of cancer."
This same writer later contradicts herself by mentioning that natural
fruits and vegetables with high levels of anthocyanins also provide
protection against cancer (even though the cancer war has already been
lost, according to the author), but states that it takes many more
servings of these natural fruits and vegetables to achieve the same
effective benefits of this genetically-modified tomato. But is this
actually true? On what basis is she making this claim?
While it is true that the typical Western diet is deficient in
nutritional foods, including antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, the
conclusions drawn from this study by both the scientists who performed
it and most of the journalists reporting on it are ultimately
ill-informed and deceptive, favoring this engineered "fruit" that even
the scientists themselves wouldn`t eat over natural fruits and
vegetables that are readily available and far superior to anything that
man creates in a lab.
The range of varying conclusions about this study all have the same
incorrect common denominator, asserting that this new
genetically-engineered tomato is a breakthrough in cancer
prevention and treatment unlike anything currently available. Even those
reports that admit the cancer-fighting properties of natural fruits and
vegetables make the claim that this genetically-modified version has
superior potency and effectiveness, discounting the comprehensive
effectiveness of anything else in its natural, unadulterated form. These
assumptions are clearly misguided and dangerous.
Interestingly, no mentions were made in any of the articles about
natural, organic purple heirloom tomatoes that already exist, have high
levels of anthocyanincs, and are perfectly safe and nutritious for both
humans and mice.
Credit is due to the many reporters who did at least admit the
cancer-fighting properties of fruits and vegetables in general,
considering the FDA doesn`t even believe that food and nutrients play a
role in health promotion and disease prevention. Yet all natural
mentions were positioned as inferior in order to paint the picture that
this new, genetically-modified tomato has unique cancer-fighting
properties superior to its natural counterparts, a blatant lie. The
presumptive belief that only man-made products are effective in the
treatment, prevention, and cure of disease is a misconception that runs
deep in conventional, nutritionally-illiterate thinking. In this case,
writers around the world are reinforcing this lie while not-so-subtly
plugging the "benefits" of GMOs to the public.
Speaking in regards to the supposed "positive effect" of the
genetically-engineered purple tomato in the experiment, Cathie Martin, a
plant biologist, said in a news release, "It is enormously encouraging
to believe that by changing diet, or specific components in the diet,
you can improve health in animals and possibly humans." Much like the
altered tomato, this is hardly a breakthrough discovery; there are
plenty of natural foods that will prevent, treat, and cure cancer
without having to undergo dangerous genetic surgery.
In conclusion, there was absolutely no reason to fund and conduct the
research, creation, and experimentation of a genetically-modified "super
tomato" when we already have the real thing. Genetically-modified foods
of any kind are dangerous, untested, and shouldn`t be touched with a ten
foot pole. Thanks, but no thanks.
