GMOS??

	Genetically Engineered Organisms (GMOs): The Greatest Threat Ever to Humans and Animals Six years ago, Americans began eating genetically engineered food. Surprised? That's because no one told you. While other countries require mandatory labeling of these food ingredients, our FDA has decided we don't need to know. A genetically modified organism (GMO, also called "genetically engineered") is a plant, animal or microorganism (eg, bacteria) that is created by means that overcome natural boundaries. Genetic engineering involves crossing species which could not cross in nature. For example, genes from a fish have been inserted into strawberries and tomatoes. While the Food and Drug Administration insists that foods produced by genetic engineering are the same as foods from traditional breeding, their own scientists reported that, "the processes of genetic engineering and traditional breeding are different and... they lead to different risks." (1) Why are companies spending billions on this crazy idea? Because they want to own copyrights on a genes that no one else 'owns' - so that they can make billions of dollars from them. RISKS? WITH FOOD??? Don't believe the people who say there is no evidence of the harm they do: To give just a few examples: 1. The lifespan of ladybugs (ladybirds) was reduced to half when they ate aphids that had fed on genetically altered potatoes in Scotland, according to a London Times article (10/22/97) by Science Editor, Nigel Hawkes. The ladybugs also laid fewer eggs. Note that the ladybirds did not even eat the genetically modified food directly, as we are doing now. They ate something ELSE that had eaten the GMOs. The danger lived on in the food chain. For more information. 2. A recent TV Show by PBS (Public Broadcasting) on GMO's showed how people have now created salmon that is several times bigger than normal salmon, and grows faster. Thankfully, these salmon are currently being farmed inland. However, to save a few dollars the salmon farm is currently seeking permission to farm the salmon in fenced off sections of the ocean. The problem is that if even a couple get away, they could cause the extinction of salmon, because wild salmon prefer the larger salmon because they assume they are better mates, and the resulting offspring have much less chance (if any) of surviving and reproducing. 3. The danger to many humans who are allergic to certain foods is guaranteed, because no one will know what they are eating. For example, say someone is deathly allergic to peanuts. A GMO may have a gene from a peanut in them. The allergic person could get a reaction from eating ANYTHING that contained the peanut gene. They wouldn't even know what caused it - because there are no labelling laws about GMOs. 4. Pesticides are now going to be INSIDE the food you eat! Most times when people start messing up nature they do bad things that they cannot undo. I am from Australia and you only have to look at all the troubles there caused by introduced species. Many small animals are extinct or threatened due to the introduced fox and cat. And farmers are constantly having to battle whole fields full of toxic Patterson's Curse which got loose from people's gardens (the florists who sell this pretty purple flower probably give it another name than that). The sad thing is that we don't even need GMOs to produce more food. There is already 2-4 times enough food on the planet to feed everyone. And if people want to grow food in their own area, then the methods described in "Secrets of the Soil" (below) will give them the abundance they seek, at the same time they IMPROVE their health. But multinational chemical companies with billions of dollars to lose don't want you to know this. Monsanto's View On GM Crop Safety A Monsanto official told the New York Times, October 25, 1998, that the corporation should not have to take responsibility for the safety of its food products. "Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food," said Phil Angell, Monsanto's director of corporate communications. "Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA's job." See the GMO link above. An article in Spectrum Magazine described a Polish experiment which showed that mice definitely prefer non GMO food to GMO food. And when forced to eat GMO food, the mice began to display bizarre behavioural characterisics. Please learn all you can on this incredible threat to life as we know it, and do your bit to stop it. Once the genie is out of the bag, their is no putting it back in!!! At least find out which foods have GMOs and boycott (stop buying) them.

Quick Facts

* Why does the box say Gluten Free AND Wheat free?
Gluten commonly is engineered from the corn kernel, not always wheat.

* 90% of the products on the grocery store shelf has corn and soy in the ingredients!

*Soy products are starting to cause the same reactions that wheat causes in celiacs!  WHY? - These are GMO (genetically modified foods)  Corn, wheat, and soy are the most common GMO foods.  Testing began in the 80s but became mainstream six (6) years ago.  Look at the increase in celiac in the last six years, the increase of autism, adhd, cancer, heart attacks, mental illness......I will stop the soap box before this becomes a novel...

"Cupcakes"

Need a quick meal? Try this little diddy I just put together.

Great for all meals and snacks just mix up the ingredients.

"Cupcakes"

Cooked meat
Chips, potato or tortilla
6 eggs

Spray 6 cupcake tins with non stick spray.  Place 2 chips in each tin cup.  Place meat in the middle of each tin.  Beat the eggs in a seperate bowl, add any seasoning you would like.  Pour mixture into each tin.  Roughly one egg per tin cup.

Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.  Enjoy!!


mmmmm I used sweet potato chips, bacon, and eggs.  It was very tasty.

Quick and Easy Breaded Chicken Strips

Mmm. I have fun experimenting with ingredients in the kitchen and tonight I really wanted a yummy chicken strip.  Here's what I came up with.

Quick and Easy Breaded Chicken Strips

2 chicken breasts thawed
2 tablespoons buttermilk powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup GF flour (the flour will effect the flavor, so pick a heavier flour)
olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut chicken into desired sizes.  Place chicken pieces in gallon ziplock bag.  Pound with meat tenderizer until 3/4 inch thick.  In separate bowl mix all dry ingredients.  Place all dry ingredients in ziplock with chicken pieces.  With bag closed toss chicken pieces until well coated.  Empty bag onto cooking sheet.  Spray with olive oil.  Bake 15-20 minutes.  Enjoy!

GF Cream of Mushroom Soup

Do you miss a good casserole?  Missing the versatility of cream of mushroom, or creamed soup bases?

Try this great recipe:



Gluten Free Creamed Soup Base

1 cup dry milk powder
1 cup white rice flour
2 tablespoons dried minced onions
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons GF powdered chicken soup base

* for lactose intolerant use baby formula Isomil (soy), for vegetarians use GF vegetable soup base.

Combine all ingredients and mix well.  Store in airtight container  This mix makes 8-9 cans of soup.

Cream of Chicken soup:  In a small sauce pan, blend 3-4tablesppons of the base with 1/4 cup cold water.  Add 1 cup hot or cold water (this is where I add my stock instead of in the soup base) and cook over medium heat stirring until the soup thickens/  Use 3 tablespoons for thin soup, 4 for thick.

Cream of Mushroom:  after soup thickens add the mushrooms. (if using canned mushrooms use the juice instead of water)

Cream of tomato: use 5.5 oz can of V-8 as part of liquid

Cheese soup or sauce:  Follow instructions for chicken base, using 1/4 cup of the base.  Add 1/4 cup extra water.  Stir 1/2 cup-2/3cup grated cheese before removing from stove

• 1) Cellulose is a carbohydrate polymer of D-glucose. It is the structural material of plants, such as wood in trees. It contains no gluten protein.
• 2) Methyl cellulose is a chemically modified form of cellulose that makes a good substitute for gluten in rice-based breads, etc.
• 3) Recent research indicates that oats may be safe for people on gluten-free diets, although many people may also have an additional, unrelated intolerance to them. Cross contamination with wheat is also a factor that you need to consider before choosing to include oats in your diet.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed and living happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease, and since then it has become an invaluable resource to people worldwide who seek information about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet.

In 1998 I created The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore! which was also another Internet first—it was the first gluten-free food site to offer a shopping cart-style interface, and the ability for people to order gluten-free products manufactured by many different companies at a single Web site.

Wheat Starch⁵

• 1) If this ingredient is made in North America it is likely to be gluten-free.
• 3) The problem with caramel color is it may or may not contain gluten depending on how it is manufactured. In the USA caramel color must conform with the FDA standard of identity from 21CFR CH.1. This statute says: the color additive caramel is the dark-brown liquid or solid material resulting from the carefully controlled heat treatment of the following food-grade carbohydrates: Dextrose (corn sugar), invert sugar, lactose (milk sugar), malt syrup (usually from barley malt), molasses (from cane), starch hydrolysates and fractions thereof (can include wheat), sucrose (cane or beet). Also, acids, alkalis and salts are listed as additives which may be employed to assist the caramelization process.
• 4) Can utilize a gluten-containing grain or by-product in the manufacturing process, or as an ingredient.
• 5) Most celiac organizations in the USA and Canada do not believe that wheat starch is safe for celiacs. In Europe, however, Codex Alimentarius Quality wheat starch is considered acceptable in the celiac diet by most doctors and celiac organizations. This is a higher quality of wheat starch than is generally available in the USA or Canada.
• 6) According to 21 C.F.R. S 101,22(a)(3): [t]he terns natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. Whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.
• 7) Dextrin is an incompletely hydrolyzed starch. It is prepared by dry heating corn, waxy maize, waxy milo, potato, arrowroot, WHEAT, rice, tapioca, or sago starches, or by dry heating the starches after: (1) Treatment with safe and suitable alkalis, acids, or pH control agents and (2) drying the acid or alkali treated starch. (1) Therefore, unless you know the source, you must avoid dextrin.
