Discover Magazine and Scientific American articles from 2011 - both about the same research - microRNA, which is different than mRNA - where the “m” stands for “messenger.” From 12 years ago. Maybe we don’t know as much about food consumption and RNA as we think we do.

RNAs from rice can survive digestion and make their way into mammalian tissues, where they change the expression of genes.

Food We Eat Might Control Our Genes

Scientists find rice microRNA inside human cells

“You are what you eat.” The old adage has for decades weighed on the minds of consumers who fret over responsible food choices. Yet what if it was literally true? What if material from our food actually made its way into the innermost control centers of our cells, taking charge of fundamental gene expression?

That is in fact what happens, according to a recent study of plant-animal micro­RNA transfer led by Chen-Yu Zhang of Nanjing University in China. MicroRNAs are short sequences of nucleotides—the building blocks of genetic material. Although microRNAs do not code for proteins, they prevent specific genes from giving rise to the proteins they encode. Blood samples from 21 volunteers were tested for the presence of microRNAs from crop plants, such as rice, wheat, potatoes and cabbage.

The results, published in the journal Cell Research, showed that the subjects’ bloodstream contained approximately 30 different microRNAs from commonly eaten plants. It appears that they can also alter cell function: a specific rice microRNA was shown to bind to and inhibit the activity of receptors controlling the removal of LDL—“bad” cholesterol—from the bloodstream. Like vitamins and minerals, microRNA may represent a previously unrecognized type of functional molecule obtained from food.

The revelation that plant microRNAs play a role in controlling human physiology highlights the fact that our bodies are highly integrated ecosystems. Zhang says the findings may also illuminate our understanding of co-evolution, a process in which genetic changes in one species trigger changes in another. For example, our ability to digest the lactose in milk after infancy arose after we domesticated cattle. Could the plants we cultivated have altered us as well? Zhang’s study is another reminder that nothing in nature exists in isolation.

That’s why I pray over my food and quote, “and NOTHING by ANY means shall harm you.” Praying with intention over contaminated water worked well for Dr. Masaro Emoto, proving what Jesus already taught us without needing the quantum physics behind it.

Not possible to get anything like the COVID mRNA sequence to survive, well, anywhere outside of the lipid nanoparticle it was encased in.

Why would Freepers even bother with this trolling when why would Big Brother go to all this trouble of germinating microDNA in gene-expressed food when 70% of the US lined up for at least one COVID mRNA shot? Not me but whatever lofl!
