Nanoparticles in food Re: One more small inconvenience

February 20, 2012

The issue of there being " grave dangers " in the food which are farmed

using modern methods, has been something under discussion among

" organic food advocates " for decades now. However, to date, these so

called dangers have not been well documented in studies and the study

at this link is no exception. It proves little if anything. To wit:

It was a very short study and chickens are not really close to humans

considering besides the obvious (humans are mammals and omnivores) and

also, the chicken digestive system is specifically geared toward

digesting seeds and that sort of thing and nothing much else. That is

give a chicken anything other than the usual and it might have trouble

with it..

But that being said, the scientists did admit that within a couple of

weeks, even the chickens adapted to the nanoparticles:

>>>>>But following exposure of 2 milligrams per kilogram for two weeks -- a

slower, more chronic intake -- the structure of the intestinal villi began to

change and increase in surface area. This was an effective physiological

remodeling that led to increased iron absorption <<<<

Not sure what they were trying to prove with the study but it

certainly seems to NOT prove that we are in " grave danger " from

nanoparticles.
