- Página/12 :: GMO ::Transgenicos Una amenaza a la salud: Explican que según los criterios de Hill (de Bradford Hill, ampliamente reconocidos académicamente para evaluar estudios epidemiológico s y de laboratorio sobre agentes que puedan suponer riesgos para la salud humana) ?existe causalidad en la fuerza de asociación, la consistencia, la especificidad, el gradiente y plausibilidad biológica? entre el consumo de alimentos transgénicos y los efectos adversos a la salud. Entre los efectos negativos, comprobados a partir de decenas de estudios en animales, mencionan ?riesgos serios?, como infertilidad, desregulación inmune, envejecimiento acelerado, desregulación de genes asociados con síntesis de colesterol y regulación de insulina, cambios en el hígado, riñones, bazo y sistema gastrointestin al. Citan, entre otros, un estudio de 2008 con ratones alimentados con maíz transgénico Bt de Monsanto, que vincula el consumo de maíz transgénico con infertilidad y disminución de peso, además de mostrar la alteración de la expresión de 400 genes.

- The Genetic Engineering of Food and the Failure of Science ? Part 2: Academic Capitalism and the Loss of Scientific Integrity: The second part of Don Lotter's critique of transgenic foods. This part focuses on the fundamental shift in academia from "non-prop rietary science for the 'public good' to the 'academic capitalism 9; model based on the 'knowledg e economy'. " He claims that this leads to the "under-fu nding of non-proprietar y agroecological approaches to food production.&qu ot;
- The Genetic Engineering of Food and the Failure of Science ? Part 1: The Development of a Flawed Enterprise: The first part of a critique of transgenic foods by Don Lotter that, while still largely damning, is far less dogmatic than many other critiques that I have read. The author differentiates "food, feed, and fiber crop transgenics&qu ot; from "bacteria l and pharmaceutical crop transgenics,&q uot; while indicting the former and conditionally accepting the later. He claims not to be myopically "pro-orga nic," claiming "future food production should [not] be limited to organic methods as defined by current certification protocols.? He instead supports a food crop production system based on agro-ecologica l engineering, which includes the use of chemical and biological technologies.

- Maize and Biodiversity: The Effects of Transgenic Maize in Mexico: The potential effects of transgenic maize on traditional varieties of maize in Mexico have been a source of public debate for several years. The key concern is gene flow from genetically modified plants?or transgenic corn?to Mexican maize and its wild relatives.

- The Long Now Blog » Blog Archive » FOXP2 human language gene changes mouse squeaks: When the human version of FOXP2 is introduced into mice, a measurable result is a change in their ultrasonic vocalizations - baby mice have deeper squeaks. While this is interesting, and the kind of correlation one might expect, even more striking is what is going on in the brains of these mice ? the mean length of dendrites in the basal ganglia region increased by 80% over mice without the human version of the gene.
