Genetically Modified Foods: Why One Expert Wants Them Out Of Your Kitchen

READ



"You most likely ate a genetically modified food today and didn’t know it. Once the stuff of science fiction, food genetically manipulated in the laboratory, has become more commonplace than people realize and is not identifiable by label. The United States is the largest manufacturer of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and, unlike the European Union, currently allows them to be produced without an established, broad-based set of safeguards, regulations or labeling requirements."

“There have been multiple studies linking this increasing pesticide exposure to childhood illness and ADHD. Some studies have even shown a link to tumor increase. We see in vitro evidence that GMOs may increase allergies and antibiotic resistance. The large amounts of pesticides and herbicides must go somewhere; they’re destroying the soil and oftentimes get into groundwater. We are seeing a huge decline in honeybees and other creatures that help pollinate plants.
