GM-Free Rice

GM-Free Rice is a big relief for a majority of population worldwide who have rice or rice-based food as their daily and main intake. With technological and scientific innovations invading every spheres of life, it has taken its plunge in food products too and Genetically Modified (GM) crops are gradually capturing the world market. As a consequence, knowingly or unknowingly, we are being fed a dangerous cocktail of anti-biotics, growth promoting drugs, anti-parasite drugs and many other medicines on a daily basis. GM-Free Rice gives us a break from all these artificial presence in our food and brings back the purity and taste of organic products from the nature’s store. While organically produced is GM-Free Rice much more than just a source of few calories, the GM rice is a negative effect of commercialization and corporatization of agriculture that leads to serious effects on our health.

The recent craving for GM-Free Rice is justified by the horrible fact that nowadays, domestic rice is splattered with mega-doses of pesticides and is genetically modified for different purposes. Spliced with enzymes from human breast milk, tears, and saliva, the GM rice is intended to be harvested and processed into drugs, not used for human consumption. Evidence from laboratories and field reports confirms the presence of a number of different DNA constructs in the organic GM rice, including the insecticidal 'Bt' toxin. And since there have been no comprehensive tests on human health and the environment so far, it is believed that the consumption of GM rice would imperil wildlife and inevitably contaminate conventional and organic crops. This is especially applicable for the disputed "pharm" rice that the organic chemicals companies are producing to manufacture and store pharmaceuticals. Quite in contrast to organically produced GM-Free Rice, this rice are commercially grown and genetically engineered with artificial human genes to produce two pharmaceutical compounds, recombinant human lactoferrin and lysozyme. Moreover if it is not GM-Free Rice, the by-products of rice like Brown & Clear Rice Syrups also get affected due the contamination in its main source.
