We all know that moms want nothing more than to see their kids grow upstrong and healthy. Most parents are keenly aware that exercise and diet play a fundamental role in achieving this end, but many still don’t know about the health risks associated with eating genetically modified (GM) food. Did you know that we’ve been eating GM food for the last 10 years and it’s in just about every grocery store in the country? It doesn’t even have to be labeled! In fact, the Center for Food Safety has evidence that suggests 70-75% of processed foods on our supermarket shelves have genetically engineered ingredients!
So what’s the big deal with GM food? Can it really be THAT bad?
Well, yes. Numerous controlled experiments on animals have consistently linked consumption of GM food to pre-cancerous cell growth, smaller brains, livers and testicles, damaged immune systems, liver malfunctions and lesions, organ inflammation, higher blood sugar levels, fertility problems, and unexplained increases in death rates. And you know it’s not good when many other countries have already taken action to ban or, at the very least, have all GM foods labeled.
Monsanto, the world’s leading producer of genetically engineered seed, has even tried to suppress the results of its own studies after the dangers were revealed. In one instance in 2005, Monsanto scientists tested their engineered corn on rats and discovered kidney
abnormalities and extremely high levels of white blood cells. They then tried to declare that these results were “irrelevant” and worked
to keep the results hidden from the public, claiming it constituted “confidential business information.”
We here at YourNetwork.tv have put together an informative film on genetically modified organisms. We’ve also made available weblinks to important scientific studies, organizations dedicated to spreading awareness of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), resources for additional information, non-GMO shopping guide, and tools of action. It is our hope that you will learn what steps to take to ensure the health of you and your family.
