- Virtually all commercial GMOs were engineered to tolerate toxic herbicides and pesticides. None of the current GMO crops demonstrated increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutritional value or any other consumer benefit touted by the chemical manufacturers.
- Genetic engineering bypasses natural breeding and ignores natural species barriers by inserting foreign genes into a cell or using a bacteria to invade a cell.
- Genetic engineering causes significant mutations in thousands of locations throughout the plant’s DNA. Natural genes can be permanently turned off, and the inserted genes can create proteins that trigger allergies and promote disease.
- Estimates suggest that as much as 80% of processed foods contain GMO ingredients such as corn starch, high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, canola oil, soy flour, soy lecithin, etc.
- All GMO products contain traces of highly toxic herbicides and pesticides like herbicide Glyphosate and biological pesticide BT ( Bacillus Thuringiensis).
- The World Health Organization declared Glyphosate (aka RoundUp) a human carcinogen. It can disrupt your gut flora, cause kidney disease, IBS, colitis, hypothyroidism, infertility, and cancers such as non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
- BT ( Bacillus thuringiensis) can damage your digestive system, provoke severe allergy, lead to arthritis, MS and cancer.
- Top 5 GMO crops are : Soybeans – 95% GM, Corn – 91% GM, Sugar Beets – 93% GM, Canola Oil ( Rapeseed ) – 87% GM, Cotton – 93% GM.
- GMO crops are directly linked to the upsurge of “superweeds“ and “superbugs”, which can only be eliminated by even more toxic chemicals like Agent Orange.
- Outnumbered and outspent by the powerful chemical manufacturing lobby, the US government failed to pass mandatory labeling for GMO ingredients and will not intervene to stop unethical practices anytime soon.
