Hello People
are you aware about GMO baking yeast?
It is very dangerous, creates cancer and used in every baking product: explode

We all gotta make a little dough somehow

The unfortunate few have to work for a living ohwell

I had my own starter for quite a while for sour dough. I decided to go "low carb" so I let it die.:cry:

Home made sour dough is hard to beat.

Oh I still have my sourdough starter.
I love low carbing it .. So when I do make homemade breads and things it is a special treat.

GMO yeast

A paper published today in Nature Chemical Biology details a novel process for replicating poppy’s opiate-producing chemical pathways by genetically modifying good ol’ Saccharomyces cerevisiae. That technology could lay the foundation for low-cost drug discovery, potentially producing anti-cancer therapeutics, antibiotics, and other narcotics. The only hitch: With the right opioid-producing yeast strains, it would also be easier to create morphine, heroin and other drugs at home—no Walter White-level smarts required. Just call it Breaking Bread. No, wait, Brewing Bad.

“Right now, you would need a background in synthetic biology and genetics to overcome the challenges to produce the right kind of yeast,” says John Dueber, a bioengineer at UC Berkeley and lead author on the study. “It is not an imminent threat. But if a strain made for licit purposes got out, then all that would be required is knowledge of brewing beer to ferment it into morphine.”
