het boek "het veld "van mc.Taggert lijkt mij duidelijk een wetenschappelijk ,random etc (RCT) , onderbouwd boek waarin bewezen wordt dat er meer is dan waar de "wetenschappers" zich mee bezighouden .
omdat 99% van de onderzoeken door de industrie gefinancierd worden wat dus inhoud dat zo gauw resultaten anders zijn dan de belangen van de industrie , de rapporten niet gepubliceerd mogen worden ( geld ook voor de universiteiten)
anderen op dit forum wezen ook al naar de FDA , hoe "onzorgvuldig (netjes uitgedrukt ) " ze werken .Monsanto en andere multinationals zijn al jaren druk met gentech-gewassen te ontwikkelen , ze beloven vele wonderen !! . feit is echter dat de opbrengsten 25% achterblijven bij de ouderwetse gewassen , maar ze hebben wel het patent en daardoor moet de agrarier licentie voor betalen , kassa !!
doordat de gewassen minder opbrengen zijn er dus ook meer hectares nodig om soja te verbouwen waardoor er nog meer oerwoud in brazilie gekapt moet worden ....
en dan de gezondheid van deze gewassen voor mens en dier . vele rapporten zijn al vernietigt omdat de resultaten desastreus waren . onder politieke druk vooral worden de gewassen toch toegelaten ( er is dus enorm commercieel belang ) en vaak ook illegaal op de markt gebracht .
waarom dit verhaal ?? er zit nu al bijna overal gentech-gewassen in onze voedingsstoffen en het gehalte zal alleen maar stijgen . geleidelijk aan zullen er dus ook meer gezondheidsproblemen /nieuwe ziekten ontstaan , waardoor ook de pharmaceuten weer "commerciele "oplossingen voor kunnen gaan zoeken .
wat ik dus wil stellen is dat de industrie baat heeft bij een sluimerende gezondheid van de mensheid . ook de overheid heeft hierbij flink boter op hun hoofd en veel media is ook niet objectief meer ( bedoel dat ze dit soort nieuws laat liggen ) want tel maar uit ; de gezondsheidszorg wordt een steeds belangrijker onderdeel van de economie ; zoveel werkgelegenheid , een pharmaceutische industrie , beursgenoteerd etc. en het zorgt voor inkomen voor de staatskas . want de gezondheidszorg wordt steeds meer geprivatiseerd dus de consument mag het nog betalen ook !!!! via de zorgverzekering en dan nog doneren voor goede doelen ..... wie legt mij uit waarom ik aan goede doelen voor genezing van een ziekte moet geven zodat er dan nieuwe geneesmiddelen uitgevonden worden ? die geneesmiddelen worden dan toch gepantenteerd en de winst is voor het ( beursgenoteerde ) pharmacie-bedrijf !!

dit soort dingen krijgen dus geen aandacht in de media
ik hoop dat Radar dit ook meeneemt in de discussie die ze willen houden over de gezondheid , dit is toch consumenten belang !!
