I've been reading GOOD Meat's FDA filings for its new lab-grown chicken (so you don't have to), and I've noticed a couple of interesting things. 👇 Image
First, the filing reveals that the immortalised cell-lines are not GMO or engineered in any way. They are "spontaneously immortalised", meaning the cell line began replicating endlessly without any artificial inducement. They're using OG tumours.
Second, there has been some testing of the cell's tumour-causing potential. Cells from the cell line were injected into six chickens, and they didn't develop any tumours. Forgive me, but this doesn't really seem like adequate safety testing for tumorigenicity, especially... Image
since the cells won't be injected into chickens but will be eaten by humans. How long did the chickens live afterwards? Oh well, the FDA is satisfied.
The other thing that's interesting is the growth medium. The chicken is being grown in a medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS), which has to be extracted from cow fetuses after slaughter. Image
I hadn't realised that FBS would be used for cultured chicken. I thought it was just for lab-grown beef. Anyway, back in October of last year, Josh Tetrick said they had a new medium in the works that didn't use FBS, but don't be surprised if that never materialises. Image
Tetrick claims to have been selling "meat without slaughter" for two years, but the truth is that GOOD Meat's cultured meat requires the slaughter of cows (!?) to be produced.

When was the last time eating a pasture-raised chicken, or any chicken, required you to slaughter a pregnant cow and remove blood from the heart of the fetus, probably while still alive?

If you actually want to read the filing, you can find it here.

The UN has just released a major report into the safety of lab-grown meat and, once again, the risk posed by consumption of this totally novel foodstuff is being downplayed. 👇

straitstimes.com/singapore/un-r…
Although the report notes that immortalised cell lines, which are functionally indistinguishable from cancer, can potentially accrue dangerous mutations, the risk is dismissed because "DNA... will be degraded in our digestive system". Image
But this just isn't the case, as I keep saying. In a study from PLoS One, one of the most prestigious journals in science, it was shown that complete genes pass from the gut into the bloodstream, where they could potentially be integrated into our own genome. Image

With all this talk of deadly fungi due to the Last of Us, it's worth noting that we already suffer terribly from exposure to certain forms of fungus. One case study reveals that a child with autism recovered totally from the condition when treated with two common antifungals. 👇 Image
The child's urine showed significant biomarkers associated with severe gastrointestinal colonisation by aspergillus fungus. The child was treated with itraconazole and sporanox and lost all symptoms of autism in just 3 months. Below is a list of the symptoms he was displaying. Image
The study authors call this case an example of the "coelacanth question". The coelacanth was a creature thought to be extinct until one was caught in the 1930s. Do we need other cases like the child's to show that autism can be caused by fungal overgrowth? Image

GENERALLY RECOGNISED AS SAFE (GRAS).

This is the certification the FDA requires for novel ingredients to be included in foods for sale to the general public. But did you know that a company applying for this certification can do all the testing itself? Sounds dodgy, doesn't it? Image
Over a decade ago, a Congress report raised the issue that the GRAS system was not fit for purpose, and that, as a result, the FDA had limited knowledge of the safety of a huge number of novel ingredients that have been brought to market by companies. Nothing has changed since.
The GRAS system was introduced in 1958 to ensure that food ingredients at specified doses are safe for human consumption. Initially, the determination that a product was safe had to rest on publicly available data. By the early 1990s, the FDA faced a huge backlog of applications

New study suggests that overgrowth of a common fungus, candida albicans, may be implicated in the increase in cases of ADHD. 👇 Image
Gut dysbiosis has already been linked to a number of mental disorders in children, including autism. The new study looked in particular at fungal strains in the guts of children, using fecal samples. Image
The sample size was small (70 children total), but the results showed that those with ADHD had significantly higher levels of candida funguses in their guts. Image

New processed-food study shows that if a mother eats processed food while pregnant, the baby's brain is rewired to crave it too, with disastrous consequences.

A mother can pass on bad habits to her baby before it's even born! 👇
The study, in Molecular Metabolism, looked at mice fed a variety of different diets. Some female mice were allowed to get fat eating processed food, while others stayed slim on a "healthy" diet.
Baby mice born to fat mothers who ate processed food would stay slim if fed a healthy diet, but when given access to calorie-dense processed food, would consistently overeat and become obese. The study suggested changes to the amygdala and hypothalamus of the mice.

So you mean, regularly injecting my face with a deadly neurotoxin could actually be really bad for me? I had no idea...

This is actually very interesting, in ways you might not expect.👇
According to new research, by paralysing the muscles of the face, botox affects not just the way the face of the user expresses emotions (we all know that), but also the way their brain responds to the expression of emotion by other people.
Mimesis -- mimicry -- at the muscular and neural level is an important aspect of understanding the world. When we see someone frown or smile, our facial muscles copy the expression, sending signals to the amygdala and fusiform gyrus, which interpret the emotions.
