Genetically Modified Foods Will Make You Sick

The vast majority of people do not realize that a lot of the foods they eat have been genetically modified. This wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that there is an increasing body of research showing that consumption of these foods, causes disease.

Research has linked the ingestion of GM foods to infertility, cancer, allergies, digestion problems, liver and kidney damage, to name a few, but that should be more than enough to warn most people away from these foods. Fear not, there are plenty of other reasons. Laboratory experimenters regularly claim that lab animals will shun GM foods, often to the point of starvation. This isn't the first time that lab rats have proven to be smarter than humans, unfortunately.

According to one of the leading proponents against GM foods, Jeffrey Smith, there is good scientific data linking GM foods to at least, 65 health conditions. Apparently many European countries have banned or restricted GM foods in some fashion or another as they neither trust in their safety, nor do they want to be guinea pigs in a huge human experiment. With all the warning flags going up on GM foods and without any credible scientific data showing it to be safe, consuming GM foods is, as Mr. Smith has said, like playing "genetic roulette".

While Europe and other countries demand labeling identifying products that have GM foods in them, the United States allows this information to be hidden from consumers. As my momma used to say "if you are hiding something, it is because you know you are doing wrong". I have never found that statement to be untrue, and many people who have worked for Monsanto (biggest producer of GM seeds) have been blacklisted, threatened, intimidated, and silenced for blowing the whistle on what the company knows, but hides, about the dangers of these foods.

Be that as it may, until the truth comes out fully, it would seem prudent to err on the side of caution and protect yourself. Why take a chance on experimental and mutated foods that at the very least are strongly suspect, when you can eat natural heirloom foods where there is no doubt of their safety to your health. There is absolutely no potential (proven or theoretical) health benefit to choosing mutated foods over naturals, only a very real and increasing probability of promoting disease.

It is recommended that as much as possible you grow your own non-GM food or patronize non GM growers. There are many and becoming more. Almost all our corn, canola, and soy (don't eat soy anyway) are GM so it is almost impossible to get them non-GM. Stay away from them. If you want a complete list of GM foods you can go to nongmoshoppingguide on the web and get further information. Whenever you change the natural order something, there will be a price to pay. For many of us, the price, is too high. It should be for you too or at least for your children!

Yours in Health

Are Humans Being Used As Lab Rats In A Genetic Engineering Experiment?

Indeed, the writing is on the wall and screaming out trying to tell us that we are all being used as human lab rats, and without our consent, in one of the biggest uncontrolled scientific experiments in history! Evidence is all around us showing us that agri-biotech companies are genetically engineering food that is to be fed to us for the purpose of transforming us into genetically modified organisms.

To date there are 81 food items listed on the FDA's List of Completed Consultations on Bioengineered Foods some of which include corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, tomatoes, and squash. Yet, this list is far from comprehensive since at present in the U.S., agri-biotech companies are not required to obtain FDA approval for GM foods. In fact, under current FDA policy companies need only "voluntarily" seek FDA consultation and adhere to FDA recommendations following the consultation. Even more compelling is that because many GM foods are "substantially equivalent" to non-GM foods and are whole foods rather than food additives, they are not subject to FDA regulation, which means that only processed foods are being regulated.

So what this means is that we are being scared and manipulated into eating more processed foods. Why? Because consuming such foods ultimately lead to obesity and an increase in health problems, which equates to more dollars being spent on medicine and cosmetics, all of which are industries being "regulated" by the FDA. Thus, the writing is on the wall and democracy has a new face and its called genetic engineering. It's becoming more and more evident all around us.

When capitalism dictates the direction of science its called technological advancement. When increased revenues take precedence over the value of human life its called free enterprise and when corporations are allowed to go unregulated to dictate the very essence of life through DNA manipulation its called genocide. That said, since humans don't classify as whole foods, what does the future hold for us if there is no regulation of what is being done to us?
