Genetically Modified Foods Is Safe To Eat?
Genetically Modified Foods
Recent studies have reproven the health risks and side effects of eating genetically modified foods. The studies done back in 1999 by Dr. Arpad Pusztai, the world's top GMO safety researcher at the prestigious Rowett Institute in Scotland was working on a UK government grant to design long-term testing protocols intended to become part of the official European GM food safety assessment process. When Pusztai fed supposedly harmless GMOs to rats, they developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, smaller brains, livers and testicles, partially atrophied livers, and showed signs of a damaged immune system. Moreover, the results clearly indicated that the cause of the problem was due to the unpredictable side effects arising from the process of genetic engineering itself.
Unfortunately these studies caused quite an uproar upon release. But whats worse, is that U.S media gave the GMO stories and research results practically no coverage. For some reason we as a nation were left in the dark, on more world wide information.
The fact that many of the genetically modified crops are modified by using the BT pesticide. The BT pesticide is injected into the genes of certain crops , such as corn, cotton, and other common food sources. The pesticide are created when the crops reach a certain size as a way to keep the crops from being eaten by insects and bugs that decrease the overall yield of crops.
Unfortunately further test's have When the test was performed, it was proven that GM food crops can transfer into the DNA of our gut bacteria. This means that long after we stop eating GM corn chips, our intestinal flora might continue to manufacture the "Bt" pesticide that the GM corn plants are engineered to produce. That could be the most substantial research done so far. As if we needed that to know how dangerous pesticides could be to our health.
As if this wasnt enough, our media still refuses to lend any attention to this evergrowing problem that we face on a daily basis. It is estimated that over 60% to 70% of our overall food crops are grown using genetically modified technologies.
The worst part? The worst part is that the actual companies that use these GMO technologies, refuse to have genetically modified food sources served in there cafeterias. Believe me, this is documented. As a matter of fact one of the main companies that use the genteically modified grow techniques is Monsanto. And anyone can find out that they will not serve GM food to employee's.
That should say quite alot to anyone that thinks that there is not a genetically modified food problem.
As a matter of fact, all testing aside, there is a documented case of over 10,000 Sheep died within 5 days of grazing on a gentocally modified food source. That is just one of many cases in which GMO's have cause real harm.
We have limited options as people that wish to avoid eating these dangerous GMO's. But we must stop buying food that is grown using genetically modified technologies.
Eating Organic food is 1 of 2 options we have if we want to stick to a safe diet and avoid gmo's. The other is growing our own Organic food supply.
By using 100% organic seed's, we will not only be able to eat healthy, but these organic seed's arent like normal seed's. You see, even the seed's sold in most stores are modified. They are created so that you will only get 1 season out of each seed. When you use the organic seeds, you will never have to buy seed's again.
Its cheaper, healthier, and you will not be forced into buying organic food at outrageous prices.
