Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we’ve been learning more about their dangers to our health. Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told. As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Well, no one dies from smoking cigarettes within 90 days of starting to smoke, either! Yet while lifetime studies still have not been done on humans, scientists have done these studies on animals — and what they found is stunning. Lab mice fed just a 33 percent GMO diet begin developing aggressive cancers (particularly breast cancer), liver failure, and kidney failure. Shockingly, 50 percent of the males and 70 percent of the female animals on the GMO diet succumbed to early death at an age equivalent to 40 to 50 human years. While more people have begun to fight back against GMOs, the big GMO companies spend millions of dollars to defeat laws that would require GMO labeling. Quite simply, these big companies know that GMO crops are cheaper to grow, and therefore more profitable. In the meantime, many health experts now warn us to take the only positive action available to protect our health — avoiding GMOs as much as humanly possible.
GMO crops are not cheaper to grow as they use more water, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides. The government subsidizes these farms that grow many square miles of the same crop year after year. The soil quickly become infertile and needs fertilizers to grow anything at all. Super weeds and super bugs result while the bees, butterflies, birds, etc. are poisoned into near extinction. The farmers in the USA are being captured by the big biotech companies. They want to get free but cannot. Meanwhile we are all being poisoned by a totally insane system of farming. Organic farms get no help yet in some cases their produce is cheaper than the “conventional” farms. Organic farms are the only sane way to grow crops and animals. Buy local, use http://www.localharvest.org to find a farmer nearby. We found a great source just 6 miles away and use it several times a month. It is satisfying to help these small farms stay in business.
