(Natural News) The globalists have promoted fake meat as a “healthy” and “environmentally friendly” alternative to the real thing. However, two ingredients in these meat analogues are reportedly linked to weight gain and kidney disease, making fake meat products far from healthy.

Health freedom group Children’s Health Defense (CHD) reported on the matter, citing a study done by fake meat company Impossible Foods. The study involving rats fed with the company’s Impossible Burger were done under the assumption that the fake meat products would have minimal impacts, if not none at all.

However, it found that soy leghemoglobin (SLH) – responsible for giving the fake meat burger its meaty taste and making it bleed like meat when cut – was also the culprit behind “inexplicable alterations within rat biology.” Rats that ingested SLH, which is derived from genetically modified (GM) yeast, experienced unexplained weight gain and changes in blood indicating the onset of inflammation or kidney disease and possible signs of anemia.

Despite these findings, Impossible Foods has insisted that SLH is safe to eat. To this end, it asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to agree that the ingredient is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). But the agency refused to do so during the company’s first attempt for recognition in 2015.

Based on documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the agency expressed concern that SLH could trigger allergies.

“Although proteins are a part of the human food supply, not all proteins are safe,” the FDA stated. “Information addressing the safe use of modified soy protein does not adequately address safe use of SLH protein from the roots of the soybean plant in food.” The agency concluded that Impossible Foods’ documents to back up its 2015 petition “do not establish the safety of SLH for consumption, nor do they point to a general recognition of safety.”…..more here
