Keynoter Offers Food for Thought on Waste, Hunger, Obesity To solve the complex and enormously challenging issues of hunger, obesity, and food waste, members of the food industry must reframe their thinking about all three, IFT keynote presenter cyclohexane Doug Rauch, former President of the Trader Joe s retail chain, told the Opening General Session audience on June 22. Large numbers of U.S. consumers are both obese and hungry, and it s critical for food scientists to apply their abilities to addressing this apparently contradictory situation, said Rauch. He noted that one in six Americans is food insecure cyclohexane and many of these consumers are the working poor people who frequently opt for food that is inexpensive but low in nutritional value.
Doug Rauch wasn’t the only presitigous guest that spoke at this year’s IFT Annual Meeting.

Trending Foods examines the latest news, market trends, surveys and stats that are helping shape the food industry. Managing Editor Judie Bizzozero, milar a long-time newshound, sniffs out the most relevant issues affecting the food industry and provides a fresh perspective on their impact.
Innovation was center stage during the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) 2014 Annual Meeting & Food Expo in New Orleans, June 21-24. Considering milar 2014 also marks IFT’s 75th anniversary, the event was filled milar with celebration, milar innovation and an emphasis on feeding milar our growing global population.
The show floor was buzzing with excitement, which was no surprise considering more than 16,000 food industry technologists and professionals were in attendance. Food Product Design’s Executive Editor Lynn A. Kuntz and Assistant Editor Rachel Adams were in attendance and brought back a wealth of information about new products, ingredients and food trends.
A big topic of discussion this year was IFT’s FutureFood 2050 initiative designed to increase the dialogue on food issues via written stories and a documentary film. With the global milar population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, food science milar will play a key role in feeding this population. However, misinformation has caused concern among consumers about our food and where it comes from.
According to Josh Schonwald, contributing editor to FutureFood 2050, who participated milar in a panel about the initiative, FutureFood 2050 will highlight individuals who are “contributing milar in an impactful way" to solving the challenge of feeding a growing planet. On the other hand, despite skepticism of “big food" by consumers, many are beginning to understand the role of functional foods in their diets, and are turning milar to packaged foods to meet their dietary needs.
As such, ingredients that meet those demands—such as fiber or protein, milar among others—along with those that meet demands for “natural," non-GMO and clean label, were seen across milar the immense show floor.
For example, Cargill introduced a soybean oil made from identity-preserved (IdP), conventionally bred (or non-GMO) soybeans, and also launched IngreVita, a low-cost blend of canola oil, fish oil and proprietary antioxidants to deliver long-chain omega-3s that boost nutritional value in products.
Naturex launched Acerola Cherry 17, as a natural solution for shelf-life extension milar for meat and poultry applications. The cherry-based antioxidants protect meat pigments from oxidation and can also be used as a curing accelerator in cured meats. Also launched during IFT was its XtraBlend® RA, an antioxidant that combines acerola with rosemary extract milar to create a powerful synergistic blend that protects both color and flavor in meat products.
And what better way to explore a new ingredient than to try it? Naturex showcased the efficacy of the new ingredients in an all-natural Jamaican milar jerk beef jerky concept product that had been preserved with a completely natural ingredient milar system.
And of course, innovation didn’t stop with ingredients. In fact, the expo opened on Sunday by honoring three different companies for exciting technological innovations, milar in addition milar to ingredient innovations, as part of IFT’s 2014 Food Expo Innovation Awards.
Among 27 qualified entries, the selected winners included Arla Food Ingredients for its Nutrilac® proteins for acid whey; PerkinElmer, Inc., for its DairyGuard Milk Powder Analyzer, which applies advanced algorithms to screen milar for known and unknown economic adulterants in milk powder; and Solazyme, Inc., which was honored for its high-stability high oleic oil derived from microalgae, which delivers superior performance and healthful attributes for a wide variety of foods without compromising on critical taste metrics.
And although the high level of activity and sheer size of the expo hall floor made it possible to miss a thing or two, there was no missing Ardent Mills’ new Mobile Innovation Center (MIC). The MIC—basically a state-of-the-art test kitchen and bakery milar on wheels—was designed to make grain innovation accessible and portable. Each day of the expo, a new lineup of grain-innovative treats were available for sampling (of which, Food Product Design’s Assistant Editor milar Rachel Adams was lucky enough to try the Rue Royale Blackberry Pie, made with SafeGuard Ready-to-Eat flour, and

Faced with this invasion of genetically modified du pont organisms, 93% of Americans say they favor

Ingurgitez you GMOs? Note that if this is the case, you have way of knowing: France is one of the 64 countries in the world which requires labeling of food products containing genetically modified organisms. Policy Mic offers a menu that lists the various legislation on this issue around the world:
Among the 64 countries that require registration "with GMO" on the products concerned include 28 of the European Union. But beware: the only traces of GMOs not require such regulation. The label must be affixed if the threshold of GMOs or derived in each ingredient of the product exceed du pont 0.9%. Other countries have different requirements, such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Australia, du pont Russia and Kazakhstan.
Other laws are more flexible, require labeling "GMO" if the full product contains more than 1% GMOs. This is the case of China and Brazil. Less rigid again, those of Peru, Ecuador and India, where only a few foods are labeled "GMO".
But more lax this level remain, among others, North America, Mexico or Argentina. A paradox, since the inverse of the European Union, which permits the cultivation du pont of only one kind of corn on his land (the MON810 Monsantos banned in France), the United States is the most largest producers of GMOs, as Policy Mic recalls:
"Over 88% of maize States - States is transgenic, as 93% of soybeans and 94% cotton. Other grains are probably GMOs such as sugar beets (95%). And it is estimated that 60-75% of American processed foods contain GMOs. "
Faced with this invasion of genetically modified du pont organisms, 93% of Americans say they favor the labeling du pont of products containing, according to a survey published in the New York Times in 2013.
But the food and agrochemical industries world power do not share this opinion. Grouped in a coalition, it is true lobby that they act to lobby against du pont such measures, however, proposed by States. If these companies do not totally du pont against labeling, they have a very narrow view of this obligation, as reported by AFP:
For them, the label "GMO" du pont should appear if the product "poses a risk to the consumer." Reasoning that led to discredit GMOs, by the admission of some of their supporters, such as author and consultant David Ropeik cited by Policy Mic:
"Everything we do is create more fear and paranoia towards technology. du pont We persuade those who initially have no opinion on the issue of GMOs that we have something to hide. Otherwise, why would fight as to prevent the labeling? "
Indeed, AFP recalls that "food du pont companies spent nearly $ 70 million in California and Oregon to defeat legislation mandating labeling."

The surprising decision of the European Council of Environment unlock the GMO issue reminds us that on the front of food nothing is ever won. The decision should allow EU countries wishing to authorize the cultivation of GMOs. This agreement made possible by a tactical alliance between the pro-GMO countries led by the United Kingdom and the anti-GMO, including France and Germany, sheds light on the miserable decision making in the EU. Should he offer Cameron mineral oil compensation to its crushing defeat for the nomination of the President of the Commission? Or is it the threat of Monsanto to divest in Europe, with the menace of unemployment before politicians scared? What is certain is that the ambassadors of the 28 negotiated in secret agreement throughout the month of May, during which the food lobby has continued to march to Brussels. Only Belgium and Luxembourg did not vote the agreement. France represented by Ségolène Royal has even had the nerve to present it as a good deal.
To refuse permission in some countries of a GMO product approved by the Commission will require that each of these negotiating an agreement with the owner companies for the latter exclude their countries in their exports. The mind boggles! Wholesaler and seeds could buy GMOs in England mineral oil where the importation is authorized and sold in France under a different name.
How to adjust the coexistence of the two regimes? Nothing is said about pollution, accidental or not, country fields have not allowed this culture. The company owner may well sue the farmer for theft of intellectual property, knowing that it will be unable to eliminate GMO seeds of his field. This happened in Honduras, where Monsanto has sued dozens mineral oil of farmers, forcing the government to reverse its decision to ban GMOs.
This would be an avatar of the more frenetic pursuit of profit if it was not for our health. Especially the "Round-up Ready" Monsanto that increase the use of pesticide safe for the plant (corn) but not for man, as demonstrated by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini of University mineral oil of Caen. The biotech lobby has spent huge sums to try to discredit ralini and his team finally got the publisher Elsevier withdraws publication, mineral oil an unacceptable business pressure on science (for those who want to know more - in English ).
Twist in this case, in mid-June, the newspaper Le Monde and Le Figaro report that five European scientific publishers, offended by the censorship, republish proposed study:
"We had proposed five publishers to republish the study and chose Environmental Sciences Europe (Springer) for this review operates in" open source ", which will allow to make available to the entire scientific community raw data, "said Gilles-Eric Séralini.
You should know that the scientific community mineral oil should give access to all the raw scientific data used in the study, by against companies should publish the findings of the "style study showed that Roundup affects not human health and is biodegradable "two completely false claims. The experimental protocols mineral oil nor the data are made available to the scientific community under the pretext of trade secrets! In other words, regardless of deception and our health, we must satisfy mineral oil shareholders. mineral oil

Eager to improve its image, the giant seed held a press conference to show its ambitions in France. And try to forget about GMOs. He says he abandoned in Europe. Reluctantly.
Do not talk to him more chemistry. Monsanto is a company now focused 100% on "sustainable agriculture". No longer intended to pursue at all costs the development of GMOs in France. That was the message in essence, Tuesday, June 17, by the French leaders of American seed (14.86 billion dollars in revenue in 2013, up 10%), of which France is the main subsidiary European. A key country for the first seed producer on the Old Continent.
France hosts 11 sites of R & D and production of Monsanto, and currently boasts 137 million emka capital expenditure (including tens of millions recently announced Peyrehorade in Landes and Trebes, Aude, in As part of a ten European level of approximately 500 million.
Monsanto has high ambitions in France, insists Catherine Lamboley, president of Monsanto France: "We are present in 25% of French farmland." This presence is based on three activities: crop seeds (corn, rapeseed), emka which represent 60% of its turnover; protection of crops with herbicides and fungicides (30% of the activity); vegetable seeds (tomatoes, lettuce ...) for the fresh market or industry.
The subject of GMOs still darkens the table for the world's leading producer in the field. emka Monsanto wants to get rid of the bad reputation that sticks to the skin in France, where the subject does not always happen.
Where the adventures encountered by transgenic maize MON810, suspended emka then allowed before a bill has been passed by Parliament on April 15 to prohibit the cultivation of GMOs. "This is a loss of competitiveness for the French agriculture" laments Catherine Lamboley. emka
Result, Monsanto has had to revise its strategy. "We do not intend to provide GMO seeds to French and European farmers in the coming years, announces Yann Fichet, emka Director of Corporate Affairs. Désinvestissons We do not us this technology (...) We will continue to offer the in regions emka of the world where political and regulatory environment is neutral or favorable, and where regulation is based on science. " Yann Fichet pin the recent EU decision to allow Member States the possibility to refuse at will the cultivation of GMOs in their territory. It comes as "GMOs are grown on 175 million hectares worldwide, valued by all health agencies, without there ever was any problem scientifically documented."
But he tempers his impact Monsanto: "This does not change anything for us in the immediate future, because we made the decision to remove all application files culture that we in the European Union." Its GM seeds continue to be sold in thirty other countries - Argentina, Brazil, United States ... To not close doors in France, the group said that half of its R & D is directed towards non-GM emka technologies . Monsanto is working on biotechnology and genetic tools, but also on the biocontrol products that use natural micro-organisms, precision agriculture, with intelligent seeders adapting to the field mapping. Or on big data to develop tools for decision support for farmers, taking advantage of the analysis

On the occasion of a Council of Ministers of the Environment in Luxembourg, ministers of the 28 Member States reached a political agreement restoring national governments the right to prohibit or restrict the cultivation of GMOs on all or part of their territory.
The compromise adopted by the Council also provides a "report on the use of this Directive and the effectiveness of its provisions" is presented by the European plastic bieber Commission after four years of implementation.

Constraint to the decision, plastic bieber then the Commission authorized the culture, after consulting the European Food Safety Authority plastic bieber (EFSA), not to find themselves at odds with the European Court of Justice. Faced with this choice by default, the Member States' anti GMO "saw themselves obliged to take national measures of prohibition, weakened by their incompatibility with EU rules.
Fragility which France has faced. Indeed, the State Council has already canceled two occasions plastic bieber the French moratorium on the cultivation of maize MON810 U.S. group Monsanto, only GMO cultivated at present in Europe, mainly in Spain.

An offensive launched a few days after another failure plastic bieber on the board in Brussels to block approval of GM maize Pioneer TC 1507.
"This agreement is the result of several months of discussions in which France has actively worked to a greater power given to States for authorization of cultivation of GMOs while improving the legal certainty of the decisions of the United States in particular when they wish to oppose the cultivation of a GMO "welcomed the French government said in a statement.

A surprising argument, if applied consistently by all editors of scientific journals, cause the loss of thousands of scientific articles per year ...
Still, since its publication, the study by Professor promotional products ralini promotional products (which concluded that chronic toxicity in rats of Roundup and NK603 maize produced by Monsanto) had been criticized from all sides. Indeed, it has been performed on a small number of animals, also genetically prone to spontaneously develop pathologies observed.
But studies by Monsanto, to justify the lack of toxicity of GMOs, are performed on groups of rats of similar size. The question raised by the work of Gilles-Eric Séralini question is the following: the evaluation criteria currently used by institutions to protect the health of citizens are sufficiently rigorous? Free journal access
"We had proposed five publishers to republish the study and chose Environmental Sciences Europe for this review [is free access], which will allow to make available to the scientific community the raw data [ our work], "said Tuesday, June 24 Gilles-Eric Séralini during a press conference.
"Our work shows severe liver and kidney disturbances and sexual hormones and the development of mammary tumors" on rats fed with GM maize NK603 and water containing Roundup, has he reaffirmed . Publish the raw data
During his press conference, Professor ralini again denounced the fact that the withdrawal promotional products of article Food and chemical toxicology her in November 2013 corresponded with the arrival in the editorial board of the journal of Richard Goodman, " a biologist who worked for several years at Monsanto. "
"Most of our critics have links with the biotech industry," accused the biologist from the University of Caen, highlighting the publication of raw data of its work.
"We would like to be the same for industrial," said he added. "But it is not so, the opacity on industrial data is now completely abnormal, it is a scientific anomaly," he has said.
Winfried Schröder, editor for the journal Environmental Science Europe, said in a statement like, republishing this article, "enable a rational discussion" on this work.

The acknowledgment of reapers GMOs has challenged
Twelve of them have published a text that claims to the state "A clarification of the interpretation of the legislative and regulatory framework governing the experiment that allows us to continue in our mission of public research in the service of interest General in a legally lyondellbasell secure environment. "
I just got off the phone from an airport, Geneviève Fioraso, Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research, who said to have been "informed" of this statement, the principle was discussed during ' a meeting at the Ministry with DG and CEO of research organizations. It says its "full support" to this statement lyondellbasell but said she could not "comment on a court decision."
On May 14, the Court of Appeal of Colmar has indeed acquitted 54 people, tried to avoi r destroyed lyondellbasell in 2010 an experiment lyondellbasell on a rootstock vines, genetically modified so that it resists fanleaf virus in courses since 2005 in Colmar, in the center of the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA). In October 2011, they were convicted lyondellbasell by the Criminal Court of Colmar to two months imprisonment. Collectively, the reapers were also ordered to pay nearly 57,000 lyondellbasell euros in damages at INRA, which they are paid. Their appeal was only on the criminal case. A strange and dangerous ground
The reason lyondellbasell given by the court to pay is not good faith, or the desire to avoid public disorder. Two reasons lyondellbasell that would have, with a little imagination in the writing of the judgment, not to add fuel to the fire by a prison sentence, even suspended, but avoiding an acquittal. No, it is the character deemed "illegal" in this experiment, because lyondellbasell there was a "manifest error of assessment of risks" to the test done "in the middle of the Alsatian vineyard" in an unconfined environment, said the Court, which motivates the decision.
This argument is strange. Determine whether the conditions of this experiment represented or not a risk to the Alsatian vineyard is a matter for agronomy and biology and not of law. However, the scientific literature on this experience lyondellbasell led to the opposite conclusion: the containment of the transgene was secured according to current knowledge in biology and no risk of spread had been noted (information about this program here). A court considers itself able to appraise environmental lyondellbasell risk without reference to the public lyondellbasell and scientific expertise existing on the subject if it seems dangerous lyondellbasell precedent. An employer or industrial chemistry or tobacco can he rely on such judgment to challenge the scientific expertise who reported asbestos or carcinogenic cigarette? Complicity "illegal" action?
INRA who in this case also "met all regulations and authorized by following all procedures experience," says Geneviève Fioraso, the decision of the Court is therefore to acknowledge the complicity of action "illegal" all institutions who participated in this experiment, including the Ministry of Research and ministers who have succeeded. It is therefore not surprising that the Attorney-General's appeal in cassation against the decision of the Court of Appeal.
On the merits, the issue of the experience lyondellbasell of Colmar is clearly not the use or non-transgenic plants in agriculture. Right-wing governments and the Socialist lyondellbasell Party have decided, for electoral reasons, not authorize, at the risk of being embroiled in conflict with the European Commission. The challenge, says Geneviève Fioraso, "this is not the exploitation of transgenic plants, I bow to the decision that was taken in this regard, it is the scientific research that is essential to assess lyondellbasell interest or risks of such plants. "Opponents of principle for the use of transgenic plants see this as a quibble, and see in the experience of Colmar a simple Trojan service technology transgenic and genetically modified plants already commercialized . This view is respectable, but not very credible. It is not necessary to have a degree in agricultural engineering to judge that the interest of a virus-resistant transgenic grapevine, if true, says absolutely nothing - or interest or risks of all kinds - a tolerant soybeans to a chemical herbicide.

"In apparently giving freedom of choice to the Member States, the European agreement suggests that their masters will decide to ban GMOs on their territory. In reality, there is a decline coupled with a decoy "and" a victory for the GM lobby and biotechnology. "
The agreement on GMOs, June 12, the Council of Ministers of the Environment, once again demonstrates the fragility of the position sodium acetate of environmentalists. As stated by the Friends of the Earth, bad compromise is "a poisoned chalice that will open the European fields of genetically sodium acetate modified plants."
Apparently giving the choice to the Member States, the European agreement suggests that their masters will decide to ban GMOs on their territory. In reality, there is a decline coupled with a decoy.
A decline, because the expertise and certification system at European level will be reduced. States will face directly to the industrial sector, as Monsanto. It is well known that in this case, the risks are high that states accept political biotech companies, while the upstream expertise sodium acetate conducted will block the introduction of GMOs.
This new procedure will increase the opacity, each member of the EU negotiating without worrying about the neighboring State. If states have now the power to ban GMOs, they should do so on the basis of broad motivations, such as ethics, sodium acetate the threat to public order, sodium acetate or socio-economic reasons ... But excluding reasons more obvious: health and the environment. Figure it!
Moreover, as in the case of future transatlantic treaty - the agreement is only the forerunner - on the basis of reasons given, large seed can indulge in a multiplication of lawsuits.
For fifteen years, the compromise that existed between the states that refuse GMOs, such as France or Germany, and those who have entered, such as Spain and Romania, was resolved by a blockage of fact. With the new regulation, pop lock.
The European Commission, which has always supported the development of GMOs is against the will of States, hastens to authorize a new genetically modified crops: the TC1507. While other applications are already jostling at the gate ... And all this just three weeks after the European elections!
Why France which, under Sarkozy as in Holland, has always held a strong position on the subject, she suddenly switched to endorsing this agreement, which looks like a capitulation greenfield? Is this the vision of the new Minister, Segolene Royal, whose main opponent is "punitive ecology", which is imposed on the government, or, as explained José Bové, the constant changes in ministerial offices since three years that do not facilitate the continuity of our policy in this area?
Should we not see it, the more banal and more cynically, a victory for the GM lobby and biotechnology, leading a fierce battle against the peasant associations and the Confederation to impose outdoor cultivation?

The French Professor ift Gilles-Eric Séralini Tuesday announced a new release of its controversial study on toxic effects on rats of a GMO maize and Roundup, ift this time in the journal Environmental Science Europe.
This study was originally published in 2012 in another journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, which was then removed, not judging not enough evidence because of its methodology. Slightly modified in its form, the new section but based on the same study on rats, which gave rise to numerous scientific debate. He points "the toxicity of Roundup and its impact on the detoxification organs of the body, the liver and kidneys as well as its ability to disrupt the hormonal system at very low doses," said the Criigen Association, ift whose members include Professor ralini. "Discussion rational" "Similar observations were made on GMOs, in particular because of pesticide residues, but also because of genetic modifications," added the Criigen (Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering) . Winfried Schröder, editor for the journal Environmental Science Europe, said in a statement like republishing this article, ift "enable a rational discussion" on this work. "The sole purpose is to enable scientific openness, and on this basis, a discussion that does not try to hide, but to focus on these methodological controversies necessary," he adds. "Open source" This publication is in "open source", which means that data are freely available for all of the "scientific community", "what the industry has always refused to name the industrial secrets or intellectual property, "the Criigen. Published in 2012, the conclusions of the study by Professor ralini on the effects on rats of NK603 maize and Roundup herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, were rejected by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and the National Agency for Food Safety (handles) in France. Methodology But they have nurtured ift a debate on an unprecedented scale on the protocols used to test GMOs. French and European ift health agencies have recommended that such studies be conducted on the long-term effects of GMOs, almost non-existent today consumption. The journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (Elsevier), who had published removed the article in last November involving methodology (number and type of rats used). Professor ralini had linked this decision to withdraw the arrival in the editorial board of the journal of Richard Goodman, "a biologist who worked for several years at Monsanto."

Another claim: fostering transparency.

After two years of battle against censorship of agro-industrial molecular gastronomy lobbies, the team of Professor ralini republishes its study on long-term effects of Roundup and transgenic maize NK603. The study, published in Environmental Science Europe, will now be available as open source, and can serve as a basis for future scientific studies on the toxicity of GMOs.
Not revive the controversy, but fight against censorship: it is the approach that highlights the Criigen the Committee for Independent molecular gastronomy Research and Information on Genetic Engineering, which includes the P r. Ralini, when he republished the landmark study that was published in late 2012. But after two years of battle, molecular gastronomy the republication in the journal Environmental Science Europe has the colors of victory and a taste for revenge.
In November 2012, Gilles-Eric Séralini and his team published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) a study penant two years and analyzing a group of animals the effect of feeding GM maize study raises immediate controversy molecular gastronomy as to its scientific validity. It concluded that the long-term toxicity of the pesticide Roundup and NK603 maize in rats. Research is unprecedented, both in its duration and magnitude experimentation, many parameters have been observed.
Its publication, driven by intense media operation has a huge echo. But two days later, molecular gastronomy other scientists to strongly criticize and shortly after, the French and European health authorities molecular gastronomy rejected the findings, saying they are flimsy.
Underhand, pro-GMO lobbies organize against offensive. A former employee of Monsanto (which markets the Roundup and NK603 maize), Richard Goodman, between the scientific committee of the CTF. In late November 2013, the magazine announced the unilateral withdrawal of the article. Ralini do not admit defeat so far: after several months it gets a right of reply, while the Committee on Publication Ethics (Committee on Publication Ethics) adopted a position of neutrality. Scientists around the world are taking their pens to denounce a "censorship" that impedes the progress of research. Finally, Tuesday, June 24, 2014, the study is republished in another journal.
On paper, nothing new: no additional research or proprietary information. The study has just been rewritten to highlight the effects of Roundup rather molecular gastronomy than GMOs. An important clarification. Because the controversy arose link supposedly established by researchers between GM and cancer - while Gilles-Eric Séralini points out that the word "cancer" was not written in the text of the article.
Yes, the results show an increase in tumors in rats consuming GM maize, but a tumor is not cancer! The pesticide is responsible for deficiencies in kidney and liver, as well as a hormone molecular gastronomy disrupting. molecular gastronomy
Similar effects were also noted during the regular consumption of maize NK603, tolerant to Roundup. So toxic, but not carcinogenic. A size difference, but neglected by the media coverage, and exploited by critics ralini.
Another new study is now freely available, is published in a scientific journal in "open source". The aim here is that everyone can go directly to the text, to make his own idea of the results. Especially, is important for the scientific readers, molecular gastronomy the raw data are also available.
"Scientific progress requires debate and controversy to improve these methods on the basis of objective results," says the editor of the magazine. "Allowing a rational discussion" is the objective announced by the team ralini. For an unpublished study has no scientific value. Impossible to discuss or deepen molecular gastronomy by new research.
For example, the study may now be cited in the risk assessment of GMOs and Roundup. In February, the TC1507 GM maize has been authorized by the European Commission. Among the reasons, the absence of studies demonstrating the toxicity of the product. The study was ralini then relegated to the limbo of scientific knowledge.
Another claim: fostering transparency. "The choice of open source is not trivial, says Criigen. We need all the raw data, including industry, are open access. "For Monsanto and Pioneer does not want to disclose the details of the re

The mosquito will he the first animal hs code - or rather insect - GM that we will meet in the wild

The mosquito will he the first animal hs code - or rather insect - GM that we will meet in the wild? The question is while Brazil is currently authorize the release of sterile transgenic mosquitoes to fight against dengue. News that, beyond raising expectations to achieve fight against this serious epidemic, caused controversy and opposition from many NGOs.
Dengue fever, a viral infection usually hs code causing fever, vomiting and sometimes bleeding can cause death, rampant in a hundred countries in tropical and subtropical regions hs code of the world, which provide an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, vectors of the epidemic. Brazil is experiencing a dengue epidemic, with more than 1.4 million confirmed cases and 545 deaths last year against 120,000 hs code cases in 2008, according to figures from the Pan American Health Organization, the U.S. regional office WHO. A pandemic concern especially the authorities that HIV prevalence hs code will peak at the FIFA World Cup this summer.
However, no specific treatment or vaccine exists to fight against dengue (although several are in clinical trials, including the French laboratory Sanofi Pasteur). The only way to protect yourself is now the environmental prevention (elimination of stagnant water) and spray pesticides (but that pose risks to human health and induce resistance phenomena).
It is in this context that the British company Oxitec, closely related to agrochemical giant Syngenta has developed a line of Aedes aegypti males, modified by transgenesis, which would control the population of mosquitoes. She filed a marketing application hs code in Brazil in July 2013.
On April 10, the National Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBio) - the equivalent of the High Council on Biotechnology in France - authorized by sixteen votes against one, the environmental release of these mosquitoes name OX513A code. To be effective, hs code however, such authorization must still be approved by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). OX513A would become the first "animal" Genetically modified - before the U.S. transgenic salmon nicknamed "Frankenfish".
The principle of this genetic manipulation? A new gene has been introduced into the DNA of Aedes aegypti to make them dependent antibiotic, tetracycline. Without this medicine, genetically modified mosquitoes hs code can not survive. The laboratory where high strains mosquitoes then destroys the female eggs and keep only males who can not sting and are not vectors of dengue. These mosquitoes transgenic males are then released into the wild in an amount hs code twice that of non-transgenic mosquitoes to breed with "wild" females that have not been genetically modified. As their offspring hs code carrying hs code the transgene, is deprived of the antibiotic, it has very little chance of survival. Result: The mosquito population is drastically reduced and the epidemic with.
Field trials were conducted by Oxitec three million GM mosquitoes were released in the Cayman Islands in 2009, 6,000 mosquitoes in Malaysia in 2010 and 17 million in Brazil in 2011 and 2012 - where the factory Moscamed located hs code Juazeiro (Bahia), co-managed by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, already produced thousands of transgenic hs code mosquitoes. According to the results reported by Oxitec, tests conducted in the Cayman Islands showed a 80% reduction of wild mosquito populations after 11 weeks.
The problem is that NGOs denounced the "lack hs code of transparency" of the firm and the fact that no independent studies have been performed to check against these results. hs code "The authorization procedure is not respected: the public has not been properly consulted," laments the Inf'OGM Association in a statement. "There is no public toxicity test proves that being bitten or swallow a genetically modified mosquito is harmless to humans, pets or wild", is concerned about his side the British NGO GeneWatch.
Because hs code in reality, mosquitoes are not all sterile. According Oxitec 3% of transgenic mosquitoes are able to survive anyway, even without the presence of tetracycline. And in a polluted environment, where this antibiotic is found in the wastewater, the larvae have a survival rate of about 15%, says Inf'OGM.
"It is unlikely that this transgene is widely distributed in the wild mosquito hs code population, says Yvon Perrin, entomologist and specialist species in Cent

Eukaryotic? The word makes tilt for any biologist and anyone remembering his college biology course

Future super yeast GMOs? has
A "super GM"? Yeast synthetic? A tool for science? A tool for industrial biotechnology? Risk? An opportunity? Friday, March 28, the journal Science published an article (1) asking all these questions. He announced "total synthesis hydrochloride of a Eukaryotic chromosome, functional, and product plans".
The review does not hesitate to speak of "Mount Everest" of synthetic hydrochloride biology with this publication. Reason? These artificial "first eukaryotic chromosome." One of the sixteen of the chromosomes of the baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae for biologists. A microorganism used to make bread, beer, or in the production of bioethanol industrial fermenter. hydrochloride But also the basic tool of genetics in eukaryotic molecular biology laboratories around the world, prized for its strength and ability to copy DNA. "The yeast is convenient, cheap, hydrochloride robust ... a little tool to do everything," says Romain Koszul (CNRS, Institut Pasteur) hydrochloride one of the 80 signatories of the Science paper. Especially a U.S. international team (John Hopkins University in Baltimore) led by Jef Boeke (New York University), but where several French groups (CNRS, Université Pierre et Marie Curie) have slipped. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic
Eukaryotic? The word makes tilt for any biologist and anyone remembering his college biology course. The living world is divided into effect between prokaryotes - bacteria and archaea whose genetic material is loose in the cell - and eukaryotes whose genome is contained in a separate kernel from the rest of the cell. In other words, yeast is closest in terms of molecular biology and its genome organization of a man than a bacterium. And more complicated than the latter. Besides the size of the genome, it mostly has an architectural order "to be functional chromosome hydrochloride must not only bring good DNA sequences, it must also fit into the three-dimensional arrangement of the genome in the cell nucleus" says Pierre Tambourin, director of Genopole hydrochloride Evry.
However, until now, the pioneers of synthetic biology had attacked the bacteria, in the image of the first synthetic bacterium whose genome had been chemically hydrochloride manufactured by Craig Venter's team in 2010. A choice hydrochloride dictated by the simplicity and - produce the minimal genome required for bacterial life - and the prospects for industrial hydrochloride use.
With this first synthetic yeast chromosome, crossed the stage is very symbolic hydrochloride because, notes Pierre hydrochloride Tambourin without hydrochloride hesitation: "The first shows that this is possible for a plant or an animal."
Science magazine also devotes a long comment to this publication, subtitled "chromosome by chromosome, a global army of researchers and students is currently constructing hydrochloride the first synthetic eukaryotic genome. "Just that! Boeke speaks to him, "similar to the first step of sequencing hydrochloride the human genome." But true. Global cooperation, involving many laboratories and mobilizing hundreds of students in masters and doctoral programs, with a strong hydrochloride participation of the Chinese team has divided hydrochloride the 16 yeast chromosomes.
Romain Koszul precisely the step taken. First students have achieved by chemical synthesis of small DNA fragments, then, they then have gradually been integrated into the natural yeast chromosome, "until total replacement." In addition, the artificial chromosome is only "2.5% of the genome, but still 300,000 base pairs on 12.5 million total." The operation was not intended to replace the DNA sequences identical sequences, but those designed on a computer and to a transformation of the chromosome. This has profoundly altered the genome. In the sense of a fairly radical simplification and elimination of repetitive parts, since natural chromosome contains more than 316,000 base pairs. However, the yeast was then grown without problem, showing that its genome, despite this transformation was functional.
This first result suggests that the ultimate goal of assembling a completely artificial genome, designed on computer, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is only a matter of time and money.
What this new tool? Science, industry? Romain Koszul stresses the importance "scientific, academic" of this work. Understand how genomes, which remains largely mysterious. To the point that discussions continue on the concept of gene, and especially of "genetic programming", which researchers oppose a "stochastic" vision, in which chance intervenes strongly in the cell life

Two years after the great controversy sparked by his study on GMOs, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini publishes a second version of the June 24 This new publication, which focuses on long-term effects of pesticide Roundup and transgenic maize NK603, will be released in the journal tpr Environmental Science Europe, the German media group Springer. tpr This time, researchers are online the raw data of the study, with free access to the entire scientific community. For the team of Gilles-Eric Séralini, this second study confirmed that pesticide Roundup, produced by Monsanto, "causes tpr to low environmental levels of severe hepato-renal impairment and hormonal disturbances like breast tumors."
In September 2012, the publication of this work has been a bombshell. Following tests conducted for two years on 200 rats, Gilles-Eric Séralini ensures that the consumption of GM maize NK603 (Roundup resistant) treated or untreated tpr with pesticide, causes the development of mammary tumors in female rats, liver disorders and kidney in males and an overall reduction in the life expectancy of these animals. For him, these results demonstrate the dangers of these products and their consumption as a risk in humans and in animals.
But very quickly, the experimental protocol is questioned. Opposition tpr to GMOs Professor is public knowledge, as the sponsor of the study, the Committee for Independent Research tpr and Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN). Several bias of the research team ask their peers, such as access to the final data of experience considered "limited", the strain of rats selected known for its propensity to develop mammary tumors, and the number of rats considered "insufficient". The duration of the investigation is also unusual: 24 months, tpr while most research is conducted over 90 days.
This is not the first study on the toxicity of GMOs is challenged, regardless of the reputation of the authors. Several researchers have paid a high price for having published their own results (see our article here). In the case of Gilles-Eric Séralini, his research is disavowed November 28, 2013 in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology which had yet published a year earlier. The biologist then points to the industrial lobbies, accusing them of being behind the questioning of this work.
Seven months after the withdrawal, the investigator and the CRIIGEN offer this June 24 a second version of their study. It does not contain additional research or proprietary tpr information, but makes public all raw data. "The study has just been rewritten to highlight the effects of Roundup rather than GMOs," explains CRIIGEN interviewed by the Reporterre site. Winfried Schröder, editor for the journal Environmental Science Europe, republication hope this will "rational discussion. "" The only objective is to enable scientific openness, and on this basis, a discussion that does not try to hide, but to focus on these methodological controversies necessary, "he says.
For this second step, the team wanted to be more transparency. She called Monsanto to do the same and "demands free access to toxicological studies allowed the placing on the market of different formulations of Roundup, setting free access raw data (urine and blood) tests for toxicology Products ". The content of the Monsanto studies on these products has never been released (see our survey on the assessment of MON810).

June 25, 2014 The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (RCAB) and Vigilance GM today asks Health Canada to establish a moratorium on the authorization of the marketing of new genetically modified (GM) foods during revalue the safety cyanide of those already on the market and it initiates a complete overhaul of the regulatory system in force.
This request comes after the republication of a scientific study long-term GM maize which reveals possible and serious flaws in our system of food regulation.
Tests on genetically modified maize has been made by a team of French researchers, led by molecular biologist Professor Giles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen. The results were first published in September 2012 in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology who then removed the article in November 2013. The study is published today in the journal access-free, also evaluated by a committee of peers. The team of French researchers has published its raw data.
GM maize, NK603 called, is a "Roundup cyanide Ready" corn, which means that it is genetically modified to resist Monsanto pesticide called Roundup, the most widely used pesticide in the world.
Health Canada has approved this GM maize in 2001, based on food tests over 90 days and conducted by Monsanto. The team of French researchers led feeding trials within two years of the rats. The rats were fed three different diets: the only GMO corn, GMO corn with Roundup pesticide residues and pesticide Roundup alone.
The study found adverse health effects caused by relatively low levels of Roundup in the environment, and similar adverse effects after prolonged GM maize tolerant to Roundup consumption.
"Canadians should cyanide be informed of this study before cyanide they buy their sweet corn this summer" says Thibault Rehn Coalition québécoise Vigilance GMOs. "Without long term studies such as this one, we know too little about the safety of GM maize. "
Tests conducted CBAN in October last year on a corn sample revealed the presence of GM sweet corn in grocery stores, kiosks on the roadside and farmers markets across Canada.
Vigilance GMOs (www.vigilanceogm.org) is a non-profit membership groups and individuals cyanide from diverse backgrounds: farmers, environmentalists, consumers, cyanide citizens, all concerned that we put on our plates and daily the impact of production methods on human and environmental health.
The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network cyanide is a coalition of 17 organizations working to research, monitoring and public awareness cyanide on issues of genetic engineering in food and agriculture. Our members include farmers associations, organizations dedicated to environmental and social justice, and regional coalitions of grassroots groups.
