BT TOXIN IN DOG FOOD

If you feed kibble, your dog is almost certainly eating chemical herbicides or pesticides for dinner.
Kibbles often contain genetically modified (GM) ingredients, like corn, soy, canola or alfalfa, grown with herbicides and pesticides. Others use OWL foods (oats, wheat, legumes) that are harvested using glyphosate as a dessicant. And that’s why there are pesticides in dog food.
GMOs have caused enormous increases in the amount of chemicals sprayed on food crops every year. Glyphosate is the best known of these chemicals, but Bt toxin is another one you need to know about. There are at least 6 forms of Bt toxin.
BT TOXIN

Most people don’t realize that the genetically engineered Bt toxin, also engineered into the genomes of corn and soy, is even more harmful than glyphosate.
Bt stands for Bacillus thuringiensis. It’s in the same family as B anthracis that causes anthrax. It’s toxic to insects and used as an agricultural pesticide.
Gardeners know it as a “safe” pesticide that’s even allowed in organic farming. But the altered Bt toxin is very different.
The way it works is by damaging the insect’s cell membranes, causing the stomach to burst. So you can imagine the damage it can do to your dog’s digestive system … or yours.
Engineered plants can express up to six different Bt toxins. They produce unique allergens, persist longer in the gut and the environment, alter the microbiome, and act as endocrine disruptors.
And there’s been almost no safety testing of Bt toxins expressed in GM plants.
HOW BT TOXIN AFFECTS THE GUT

The genetically modified Bt gene comes with its own adjuvants (promoters) that keep the Bt toxin reproducing inside every single one of a plants’s cells.
When animals eat the plant, Bt can bind to the intestinal wall and transfer the genes to the resident bacteria in the gut. In other words, animals that eat Bt corn build little Bt factories in their intestines. These keep producing more and more Bt.
And Bt isn't eliminated quickly from the body. It was previously believed Bt stays the gut and is then excreted in the stool ... and not absorbed into the bloodstream. But 2011 research by Canadian scientists found Bt metabolites and proteins in the blood of pregnant women and the umbilical cord of newborns, showing it remains for weeks after exposure.
The adjuvants also stimulate the immune system to make antibodies – the first step toward food allergies, and even cancer.
Here are some other dangers of Bt toxin.
OTHER HEALTH RISKS

Leaky gut and other digestive issues
Food poisoning
Endocrine disruption
Lung damage
Eye irritation, blindness
Even organic crops may not be entirely free of pesticides and herbicides that get spread by wind and rain. But at least they haven’t suffered direct application. So they’re a safer choice than conventional crops. Avoid any foods containing GMO crops if you can.
