Special Report: The Hidden Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods
By Moonsong
Did you know there are an estimated 75,000 edible plants here on planet Earth, yet only about 150 enter world commerce and the majority of what most people eat consists of 15-20 foods?
And did you also know that anywhere from 40-70% of the foods here in your local US grocery now contain genetically modified organisms, or GMO's?
Other terms you will hear are GM or GE (genetically engineered) foods. No matter what you call them, these foods are untested, unnatural and some would say, extremely harmful to humans -- especially kids.
Watch this video, its a real eye-opener:
FACT: There is NO LAW in the US requiring genetically modifed foods to be labeled.
What? In Europe, outraged people stood up and protested these new FrankenFoods and eventually there was a mandate to clearly label all modified produce. Now some responsible US companies are labeling their foods as NON-GMO, but is that enough?
FACT: The FDA has no safety standards for testing and evaluating GE foods.
How can that be? Well, as the story unfolds and we learn how the person formerly in charge of policy at the FDA was chemical giant Monsanto's own lawyer, you'll begin to see how the greed of corporate agriculture in America is hijacking our food supply.
There's not enough room in this article to list all the offenses commited by Monsanto, the largest producer of GM seed in the world. Considering they are also know for producing weed killer, artificial sweeteners, synthetic hormones and Agent Orange... how do you feel that they have such a huge presence in your supermarket?
ARE YOU CONCERNED YET?
Here is a summary of what major crops, foods and food ingredients have been genetically modified as of July, 2007: (Number in parentheses represents the estimated percent that is GM.)
Soy (89%) Cotton (83%) Canola (75%) Corn (61%)
Other Sources of GMOs:
Dairy products from cows injected with rbGH, food additives, enzymes, flavorings, and processing agents, including the sweetener aspartame (NutraSweet®) and rennet used to make hard cheeses; Meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals that have eaten GM feed; honey and bee pollen that may have GM sources of pollen; and contamination or pollination caused by GM seeds or pollen.
Jeff Smith, author of 'Seeds of Deception' explains more in this video:
Despite the highly charged battle over genetically modified food, people are still unaware that many of the products they consume on a daily basis are GM.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
---> Buy Certified Organic whenever possible
---> Refuse to buy GM foods.
---> Demand clear food labeling
Vote with your wallet, and they will listen. It worked in Europe and other countries are following suit. When these companies start losing money because we don't want to be part of this dangerous human science experiment, you take away their 2 main motivators.... money and control.
Its time to get back to basics, eating Whole Organic Foods from the Earth, not from some profit-driven lab operated by people who manufacture poisonous pesticides. Nature has done a fantastic job for thousands of years supplying us with all the nutrients our bodies need and recognize for perfect health.
