Genetically engineered foods not pancreas friendly?
“Insulin helps release the sugar through the pancreas” she said. “She” was the visiting nurse who came this morning to show me how to use the medicine for my diabetes. She was answering my question, “What does insulin do?” I do not know anything about the pancreas except they say you should not get shot in the pancreas. Other than that, my pancreas minded its own business and I minded mine but now it has been pulled on stage, front and center and I have to deal with it.
After “She” left, I mused about getting old and needing other things to help move things though my body. I can accept that. People are not living longer without the help of the medical field but I said to myself, if my body is getting older and can not process the sugar, why do young people with young bodies also have this problem? What do we have in common? Food, glorious food!
For years I have complained that a lot of foods taste the same to me. Especially fruits. For example, the banana has the texture of a banana but taste little differently than a slice of watermelon or apple. It was last year I heard on television a man talking in depth about genetically engineered foods. It was very insightful and although I do not recall his name, he has a published book with the picture of a bunch of asparagus on the cover. I thought he was good and inspiring talking about genetic foods.
Now I am reading Monsanto Seed Company is suing farmers in some parts of the U.S. for not using their engineered seeds. The story I read was depressing and Monsanto is winning the battle. I understand this has been going on for years. I do not know why there has not been a Supreme Court decision on the company monopolizing on Mother Nature and putting our food chain in hostage.
In any case and for the time being, I am associating their genetically modified foods with my pancreas’ reduced functions. Also at this time, this is my opinion and my theory. Funny I have not at least heard the theory before. To me, the associations seem so logical. Our bodies were designed to work hand in hand with food. Real food. Glorious food!
As always,
