Genetically Modified Foods ~ GMO — What’s the Fuss?
GMO foods were deemed “safe for human consumption” by the FDA and introduced into our food in 1992. Twenty-some years later, we are finding out that GMO foods have led to a plethora of human illnesses including infertility, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, disrupted insulin and protein regulation, and Crohn’s disease.
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has even suggested that all doctors should advise their patients to choose foods that do not contain any GMO ingredients.
Currently, 85% of American packaged foods contain GMO ingredients. Unless the package is marked non-GMO, it probably contains GMO ingredients. While wheat, corn & soy are the top American GMO produced foods, there are many more disguised as additives, preservatives and fillers in your food.
GMO’s are in virtually everything? What to do?
To be safe, check all labels carefully – the list of GMO ingredients to your right can help make sure you’re not eating them!
