(Authentic Healing with Krista 💖) Best Selling Author ✍️, MindBodySpirit Mentor, AO Scan Practitioner Solex, (QLA) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Chronic Illness/Mental Health Warrior. 🛡️Heal with me! Don’t delay!👇
This stuff should give us pause! ⏸️ I understand it makes life easier to believe these aren’t concerns, UNTIL your health or mental comes into play, ▶️ but the “sick care” model needs to go and prevention should take priority! Until someone has a pressing reason to question something, they generally don’t. Why are we okay with consuming certain additives that have been banned in other countries for good reason? “The creation of new diseases is one of the biggest concerns about genetic engineering. With bioengineered foods, scientists can't accurately predict where new diseases will arise because they don't fully understand what will happen when DNA from radically different species are combined. What's really disturbing is how little research has been done on this topic or on the possible adverse effects to human health. The long-term effects of bioengineered foods are not yet known. Studies from the biotech industry have shown that after consuming bioengineered soybeans for only three generations, hamsters had dramatically reduced sperm production and abnormal embryos.The insulin-producing cells in the pancreas of mice that were given genetically engineered potatoes completely shut down after only 10 days. Other studies from the biotech industry have shown that the intestines of animals that were fed bioengineered corn were unable to absorb nutrients and that the livers of rats fed bioengineered canola oil became fatty and diseased.” ~MCleanMeats #whatsinyourfood #PreventionIsBetterThanCure #whysomanyadditives #foodismedicine #HealthisyourGreatestWealth

Tropical Resilience Genetics is an Embryo & Semen export company based in New Zealand supplying "SLICK" gene for Holsteins, Jersey and Beef cattle. What are the benefits you may ask of "SLICK" gene? The benefits from the improved breed Genetics carrying the SLICK gene; it enables Holstein or Jersey cows (or the beef breeds) to perform a lot closer to their genetic potential in the tropical environments. These cattle can keep their core body temperature about 1 degree lower than their herd mates without the gene (more effective than providing shade but both are good in extreme conditions). The lower body temperature reduces stress, and the heifers or cows continue to eat normally which enables: higher growth rates (nearly double in young heifers) earlier puberty and calving higher milk production (in the order of 4 litres per day) better body condition maintained and earlier rebreeding All of the above makes a major difference in feed efficiency, profitability and much reduced methane output per kg of milk or meat, so really a three-way WIN!

Researchers have developed new prime editors based on the Cas12a protein, enhancing precision genome editing. Overcoming limitations of Cas9, Cas12a offers advantages in size, off-target editing, and effectiveness in G/C-rich regions. Circular RNA-mediated Prime Editors (CPEs) using Cas12a mutants achieved high editing efficiencies in various cell types, demonstrating effective multiplex prime editing. The CPE systems exhibit low off-target effects, presenting significant potential for biological research, disease treatment, and crop breeding.

Should you protect your tomatoes from Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV)? Yes, you should, here’s why. One Cluster 4 research team is studying ToBRFV. ToBRFV is a viral pathogen that has been recently identified and spreads fast. It can overcome genetic resistance to tobamoviruses, including the durable broad-spectrum resistance gene Tm-22. The virus is stable, easily transmissible, and highly contagious. ToBRFV causes tomato yield losses of around 30 to 70 per cent. ToBRFV is a regulated pathogen in many countries, including the U.S., meaning it can pose a threat to Canadian tomato exports. This research activity is focused on understanding the ToBRFV infection process and developing novel genetic resistance to effectively control it in greenhouse vegetable crops. #Cluster4 #AgriScience #HorticultureInnovation #SustainableAgriculture #FVGCimpact

The virulence of a rice-wrecking fungus — and deployment of ninja-like proteins that help it escape detection by muffling an immune system’s alarm bells — relies on genetic decoding quirks that could prove central to stopping it, says research from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. A Nebraska team helmed by #NSRIFellow Dr. Richard Wilson hopes that identifying an essential but formerly unknown stage in the fungal takeover of rice cells can accelerate the treatment or prevention of rice blast disease, which ruins up to 30% of global yields each year. “The response I’ve gotten from people in my field is that they’re very excited, because nobody’s been able to get a handle on this,” said Wilson, professor of plant pathology at Nebraska.
