This totally sounds like an urban legend and should really be considered as such. But, it is newsworthy.
According to a quote through the Examiner, Russian scientists secretly warned Prime Minister Putin about a “critical link” between the H1N1 Influenza virus and genetically modified amylopectin potatoes which are sold in Western countries as french fries.
The report goes on to say that the genetically changed protease enzyme in the potatoes is so stored in the host cells (that’s us, humans who eat the fries) that our cells’ contact with an H1N1 virus creates an explosion in the viral envelope. The …read more

Last year, a company predicted that a H1N1 flu epidemic would occur within 6 to 12 months. A year later, that warning has come to pass, as the world records over 17,000 cases of H1N1 influenza in 64 countries, by June 1.
And the U.S. has become the country worst-hit by the swine flu epidemic, with over 10,000 confirmed cases appearing in all of the 50 states. Mexico reported about 5,000 cases, which is only half of what the U.S. has! (See this list for total H1N1 cases worldwide)

The new swine flu virus that broke out in Mexico is unique and potentially dangerous in one way. It is a virus that has a combination of gene segments from human, bird and swine viruses, and can potentially become infectious in humans that have no immunity to the new strain.
Influenza viruses can change its make-up in one of two ways: Antigenic drift is a series of mutations that cause the virus to gradually evolve over time. Antigenic shift is an abrupt change in the surface antigen proteins that suddenly creates a new subtype of the virus. In the history of …read more
