Lab-grown meat isn’t made of cancerous cells
In June 2023, the U.S. became the second country in the world to authorize the production and marketing of cell-cultivated meat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration evaluated applications from two producers and concluded that cultivated chicken meat is safe to consume. Current scientific...healthfeedback.org
“(…) Following U.S. regulators’ approval, a video originally posted on TikTok claiming that cultivated meat is produced using animal “cancerous and pre-cancerous cells” went viral on Facebook.
The person speaking in the video is Kashif Khan, the CEO and founder of The DNA Company. Khan doesn’t appear to hold any qualification in biology or medicine, but nevertheless offers advice on preventing and reversing chronic diseases through functional medicine, a practice that lacks scientific support.
The claim stemmed from the idea that a procedure known as immortalization used for producing cultivated meat turns the cells cancerous. However, this idea is incorrect. As we will show below, immortalized doesn’t equal cancerous, and there is currently no evidence indicating that using this procedure makes cultivated meat unsafe to consume (…).
To overcome this limitation and upscale production, manufacturers use a procedure called immortalization, which consists of modifying the cells genetically so they divide indefinitely. This procedure has been used for decades in biomedical research for multiple purposes, including studies on gene and protein function, vaccine production, and drug testing.
The video claimed that immortalization turns the cells into “cancerous and pre-cancerous”. This would mean that these cells have the capacity to grow without control and invade nearby tissues (cancerous) or that they have abnormal changes that make them more likely to develop into cancer cells (pre-cancerous). However, this claim is incorrect.
While cancer cells can divide indefinitely, this is only one of the various characteristics that make them cancerous. To be considered cancerous, the cells must also have the capacity to create new blood vessels and invade neighboring tissues, and show unpredictable, uncontrollable behavior[1].
Joe Regenstein, a professor emeritus of food science at Cornell University, told AFP that this isn’t how immortalized cells behave. “Immortalized cells are essentially the exact opposite of cancer cells” because “They are highly controlled and repeatable”, said Regenstein (…).”
.. Hey I didn't say they "were" or could "grow" inside you, when dead and cooked.But they do have similar properties.
It's "common sense" where they got them from.
I have little respect, for today's "scientists" whose writings are financially funded and motivated.
Of course there is huge monetary incentive, to ensure they are "safe".
They also say, they can be made without antibiotics (Only a very small amount on initial animal harvesting) and then grown in very sterile conditions (as the lab grown meat, doesn't have an immune system, so is easily contaminated).
But the reality is, when they are doing very large scale production, they will have no choice, but to use antibiotics and various other things, in my opinion.
But hey, enjoy, I won't be touching that shit, with a 10 foot pole.
And although it will eventually be illegal in the Market to differentiate between Natural and Lab grown, the types of meat products I eat, I doubt will be replicated anytime soon.
