GMO VS. NON GMO
A thee part series
Genetically modified foods…Are they safe?
Since then, findings include:
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine
(AAEM) doesn’t think so. The Academy reported that
“Several animal studies indicate serious health risks
associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune
problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation,
and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal
system. The AAEM asked physicians to advise patients
to avoid GM foods.
•
Thousands of sheep, buffalo, and goats in India died
after grazing on Bt cotton plants
•
Mice eating GM corn for the long term had fewer,
and smaller, babies
•
More than half the babies of mother rats fed GM
soy died within three weeks, and were smaller
•
Testicle cells of mice and rats on GM soy change
significantly
•
By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters
lost the ability to have babies
•
Rodents fed GM corn and soy showed immune
system responses and signs of toxicity
Before the FDA decided to allow GMOs into food
without labeling, FDA scientists had repeatedly warned
that GM foods can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect
side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases,
and nutritional problems. They urged long-term safety
studies, but were ignored.
