Russian researchers have made a link between the H1N1 flu and the French fries that are sold in our fast food restaurants.

The Russian report states, "Scientists from Russia’s Ministry of Health are warning in a secret report to Prime Minister Putin that they have discovered a ‘critical link’ between the H1N1 influenza (Swine Flu) virus and genetically modified amylopectin potatoes that are consumed in massive quantities nearly exclusively by Westerners and sold in fast food restaurants as French Fries."

According to the report, the protease enzyme (the enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins) of the potatoes in question has been altered to make them more hardy and less vulnerable to the Potato virus X, a dangerous plant disease that can cause devastating losses of potato crops. This genetic change causes an “explosive” replication of the H1N1 influenza virus."

This proposed link between the H1N1virus and French fries would explain why a vast number of cases of H1N1 are common to the young. A US News and World Report states that "Of the 5,000 confirmed and more than 100,000 probable cases of swine flu, the average age of infected people is 15; two thirds are younger than 18." The youngest are, by far, the largest consumers of fast food.

In addition, the countries that are reporting large numbers of H1N1 cases are those countries that grow these genetically modified potatoes: the US, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and Chile, a country that grows large quantities of potatoes for the US. Large countries that do not allow planting of genetically modified potatoes, such as Russia, China, and India, report few H1N1 case, 3, 318, and 16, respectively.
