Writing for UK Column, Dr. Mike Williams takes a brief look at the studies done on 3-NOP to establish if it is “safe and effective.”
The European Food Safety Authority’s (“EFSA’s”) Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (“FEEDAP”) concludes that the genotoxicity potential of 3-NOP cannot be ruled out, indicating a potential to cause cancer, he writes. 3-NOP’s impact on humans is unknown as it remains untested.
3-NOP was found to induce chromosome damage and gene mutations and an increase in benign gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumours in studies on female rats. Adverse effects on fertility and reproduction were also seen in rats, including severe reduction of spermatogenesis in males and failure to become pregnant in females at high doses.
Although studies show that 3-NOP does not transmit in dosed animals’ milk, the breakdown product of 3-NOP, 3-nitrooxypropionic acid (“NOPA”), was detected in cow’s plasma and milk, and is assumed to be responsible for testicular toxicity.
In a twist which shows climate alarmists’ plans to be self-defeating, the use of 3-NOP in cows also results in increased hydrogen emissions and the major route of excretion is as carbon dioxide (CO2)....<<<Read More>>>....
