Arguments Against Genetically Modified Food Show That the GM Food You Are Ingesting is Hurting You in Ways You Don’t Realize.

One of the biggest arguments against genetically modified food is that it is harmful to human beings.

Yet, most people have no idea how often they’re consuming food that’s been genetically altered and robbed of its natural nutrition.

In the name of profit and greed, companies such as Monsanto are destroying the wholeness of your food, and in turn, your body. Therefore, here are a few tips on avoiding this madness.

”Fruits and vegetables. Almost all are not GE. The exceptions are a few papayas from Hawaii and a tiny amount of fresh corn, zucchini and yellow squash.

”Meat and fish. No GE meat or fish are approved for human consumption. But most GE corn and soy is fed to meat animals and farmed fish. So look for wild fish, grass-fed beef and organic meats.

”Dairy. Dairy cows aren’t genetically engineered but can eat GE grains unless they’re organic. Look for labels that say no hormones were used.

”Baby foods. Most formula contains GE ingredients. Some also contain corn syrup. Cereals can contain GE soy lecithin.

”Canned and frozen foods. Vegetables and fruits packed or frozen without flavorings, additives or corn, soy or canola oil are GE-free.

”Grains and beans. Corn is the only GE grain on the market. Soybeans are the only GE dried beans. So wheat, rice, oats, quinoa and foods made from them are OK. Check ingredient labels for additives like soy lecithin, which can be GE.”

Arguments Against Genetically Modified Food: Shouldn’t We Research More?

”The media has been saturated with statements from scientific bodies toassure us that GM foods have been ”rigorously tested” and are ”totally safe”.

”I seem to have discovered the reason for there being ”no data to suggestthat GM foods may be dangerous” – the reason is that there is no data. No data means no bad data.

”The UK Government claims to be ”pro-science” yet it has commissioned no experiments to compare the effects of conventional and GM foods on animals or on humans that have led to the publication of any data (with one exception).

”Is their reason for not doing the research the same as the reason the Pope refused to look through Galileo’s telescope? – fear of what they might find.

”Like the Pope, the scientific establishment is using its status to support its opinions rather than relying on factual data.

”In an age when multinational corporations fund most research this is a highly disturbing development.

”It looks now, however, as if the government and the biotech companies are the ones that are really afraid of independent scientific research. It’s time for us to demand facts.”

Arguments Against Genetically Modified Food: Small Research on Rats Disturbing

”The experimental rats were given food containing genetically modified components.

”The rats survived during the experiment but their conduct seriously changed: they became nervous, anxious and even aggressive for no reason at all.

”The researcher discovered abnormal pathologic changes in the liver and testicles of the rats. This is important that descendants of the experimental rats fed with GMF had really terrible problems.

”Alien components turned out to be lethal for little rats. Generally, all rats of one litter survive. But over 55 percent of experimental rats’ babies were born dead or died soon after they came to the world.

”At that, their death was really agonizing, they were found with their intestines swollen. Other new-born rats had really weak health. At the same time, mothers did not reveal their motherly instinct actively.

”Similar experiments were conducted on other animals and fixed approximately the same results.

”So, the experiments reveal that transgenes are very poisonous for descendants and are in fact a delayed action biological weapon.”

Arguments Against Genetically Modified Food: More on the Rats

”… the disclosure of the health effects on the Monsanto rats has intensified the row over whether the corn is safe to eat without further research.

”Doctors said the changes in the blood of the rodents could indicate that the rat’s immune system had been damaged or that a disorder such as a tumor had grown and the system was mobilizing to fight it.

”Dr. Michael Antoniu, an expert in molecular genetics at Guy’s Hospital Medical School, described the findings as ”very worrying from a medical point of view”, adding: ”I have been amazed at the number of significant differences they found [in the rat experiment]”.

”Environmentalists will see the findings as vindication of British research seven years ago, which suggested that rats that ate GM potatoes suffered damage to their health.

”That research, which was roundly denounced by ministers and the British scientific establishment, was halted and Dr. Arpad Pusztai, the scientist behind the controversial findings, was forced into retirement amid a huge row over the claim.

”Dr. Pusztai reported a ‘huge list of significant differences’ between rats fed GM and conventional corn, saying the results strongly indicate that eating significant amounts of it can damage health.”
