Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)
Scientist from the Food and Drug Administraton warned, repeatedly, that Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) are dangerous and can cause health problems. Since their introduction in the mid 90’s there have been sharp increases in disorders of the digestive system and childhood issues.
What is a GMO?
GMO’s are the result of laboratory processes where genes from one species are forced into the DNA of other plants and animals.
Two Main Types of GMO’s
Herbicide Tolerant-made to withstand and grow in high toxic environments (weed killers) These toxins (such as Round Up) are linked to birth defects, cancer, hormone disruption and more. They end up INSIDE our food.
Engineered to Produce Their Own Insecticide-the second group is engineered to produce their own insecticide (poisonous) in every cell. Such as corn and soy. One insecticide called Bt-toxin bursts open the stomach of certain insects and kills them.
Research
The Institute for Responsible Technology provides educational information. Please check out their LINK HERE.
Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, Pediatric Emergency Physician by Training. She is alarmed about the topic of GMO’s. Please check out her You Tube videos HERE.
Here is a LINK to Dr. Bernhoft, MD, Surgeon and the President of AA of Environmental Medicine, where he discusses health and GMO’s and what he is seeing in his practice.
Emily Lindner, MD also talks about GMO’s and her practice. Check out this LINK.
There are two CD’s that are informative regarding the dangers of GMO’s. They are Genetic Roulette and Don’t Put That In Your Mouth.
The research done indicates a RISK to animals and humans. These items are BANNED in Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan.
Infants and Children
Infants and children are more susceptible because their blood brain barriers are not fully developed. They eat more, metabolize faster, and food allergies increase and run rampant.

Avoid GMO’s
Avoid GMO’s by utilizing the non GMO shopping guide found on this LINK. You can also find the ShopNoGMO App for your phone which can tell you, while you are shopping, what items are at risk and alternative items to choose at this LINK.
There are nine (9) Genetically Modified Food Crops
- Soy
- corn
- canola
- cottonseed
- sugar beets
- Hawaiian Papaya
- Some Zucchini
- Some Yellow Squash
Animals are fed GMO’s
If you eat meat, you may be ingesting genetically modified organisms. GMO’s are fed to animals that provide MEAT, MILK and EGGS.
The NON GMO PROJECT
The Non GMO Project is an excellent source of clear, concise, research and information regarding GMO’s. Where they can be found, where they are hidden and how to avoid them. Here is the LINK for that website.
Thank you for your time, attention and deep consideration. Be a Wise One!
