How to avoid GMO
"Genetically modified foods have been shown to cause harm to humans, animals, and the environmental, and despite growing opposition, more and more foods continue to be genetically altered. It's important to note that steering clear from these foods completely may be difficult, and you should merely try finding other sources than your big chain grocer. If produce is certified USDA-organic, it's non-GMO (or supposed to be!) Also, seek out local farmers and booths at farmer's markets where you can be ensured the crops aren't GMO. Even better- Start organic gardening yourself. Here are the top 10 worst GMO foods 1. Corn 2. Soy 3. Sugar 4. Aspartame 5. Papayas 6. Canola 7. Cotton 8. Dairy 9. and 10.

Bt-Toxin Linked to Allergies, Auto-Immune Disease, and More. If Bt genes are indeed capable of colonizing the bacteria living in the human digestive tract, scientists believe it could reasonably result in:
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Autoimmune diseases
- Food allergies
- Childhood learning disorders
The discovery of Bt-toxin in human blood is not proof positive of this link,
but it certainly raises a warning flag.
And there's plenty of other evidence showing that the Bt-toxin produced in GM corn and cotton plants is toxic to humans and mammals and triggers immune system responses.
For example, in government-sponsored research in Italy ,
mice fed Monsanto's Bt corn showed a wide range of immune responses, such as:
- Elevated IgE and IgG antibodies, which are typically associated with allergies and infections
- An increase in cytokines, which are associated with allergic and inflammatory responses.
- The specific cytokines (interleukins) that were found to be elevated
- are also higher in humans who suffer from a wide range of disorders,
- from arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, to MS and cancer
- Elevated T cells (gamma delta), which are increased in people with asthma,
- and in children with food allergies, juvenile arthritis, and connective tissue diseases.
called MON 863, also experienced an activation of their immune systems,
showing higher numbers of basophils, lymphocytes, and white blood cells.
These can indicate possible allergies, infections, toxins, and various disease states including cancer.
There were also signs of liver- and kidney toxicity.
Topical versus Internal ToxinsFarmers have used Bt-toxin from soil bacteria as a natural pesticide for years,
and biotech companies have therefore claimed that Bt-toxin has a "history of safe use in agriculture."
But there's a huge difference between spraying it on plants,
where it biodegrades in sunlight and can be carefully washed off,
and genetically altering the plant to produce it internally.
Bt crops have the Bt-toxin gene built-in, so the toxin cannot be washed off.
You simply cannot avoid consuming it.
Furthermore, the plant-produced version of the poison is thousands of times more concentrated than the spray.
Did you know that two years ago, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine
(AAEM) called on all physicians to prescribe dietswithout genetically modified (GM) foods to all patients?
They sure did, although few doctors seem to have gotten the memo. They also called for a moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), long-term independent studies, and labeling, stating:
"Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,
including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation,
and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system.
…There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects.
There is causation…"

The Food Pyramid according to Monsanto. With an estimated 40 - 70% of food on grocery store shelves containing GM products, this is the unfortunate reality of our food supply in the United States. Please share to spread awareness. Please keep reading and researching what is in the food you feed your family. Thanks Nutiva.

Monsanto’s cost-inflated and ineffective seeds have been driving farmers to suicide,

of the quarter of a million farmer suicides over the past 16 years.
5. Opinion-poll-shows-Australian-Mothers-dont-want-GM-wheat
CSIRO is currently developing GM wheat to commercialise GM wheat as soon as 2015.
This would make Australia the first country in the world to commercially grow GM wheat.
“We know very little about the impact of GM foods on our bodies over the long-term –
and we have every right to protect our kids from being part of a nation-wide feeding experiment.”
Independent science released last week showed that eating GM wheat could result in
progressive fatigue and liver failure.safefoodfoundation.org/wordpress
“Wheat is Australia’s most important staple food and most people eat it every day.
CSIRO should stop this GM research until the questions about its safety are answered.
Mothers are quite right to be wary of feeding their families GM food.” Said Fran Murrell.

It seems there is conundrum in what today is health
Because produce now is tampered with, to make us quite unwell,
So we have to make the choice, to find the food God made
To keep our bodies functioning, so toxins won't invade.
Man is altering our food, we need to realise
They're producing it for money, so nutrient's disguised.
But, there's a way we can be eating, that works to keep us well,
We need to avoid the GMO, keep a watch upon our health.
Yes, thankfully there's hope, there's still God's food to eat,
We can grow our own, or find organic outlets
and find new ways to cook, we are not beaten yet.

HOW TO AVOID GM FOODS. Unless foods are labelled organic or non gmo, you need to be careful.
Here is some info on foods that COULD (but not always) contain GM ingredients.
Here is some info on foods that COULD (but not always) contain GM ingredients.
Remember, you vote with your wallet every time you buy a Non-GMO Project Verified product.
Boycotting could force GM companies to get back to what is ethical and effect the greater good of all.
"Don't worry, everyone, this is the beginning not the end.
If you're confused about why prop 37 didn't pass, consider this:
the opposition spent $46 MILLION on a misinformation campaign.
And in spite of that, 4.6 million Californians (47%) STILL voted yes.
This vote has brought the GMO issue into the national spotlight, and it's not going away.
Onwards and upwards!" --Megan Westgate, Non-GMO Project Executive Director.
I think people are scared to know what is in their food. Knowing makes it real.
By *not knowing* they can pretend it isn't real. I know it sounds crazy, especially since we *know* and it seems so obvious to those of us in the know. Be patient.
The more we can spread the message, and keep talking about why we are not buying certain brands with our friends, the more aware they'll be of what is going into their mouths.
Be aware there is also the worry some have of legal payouts. Who will sue who, because of health problems.

"The landscape of children’s health has changed.
If you have any doubt whatsoever, ask your grandmother.
Did she have friends juggling breast cancer and play dates?
What about autism and allergies? ADHD and diabetes?
And while there were other things that they worried about, as parents today, we sit beside each other on the sidelines of soccer fields, in concert recitals or in the pews at church, and with few words spoken,
we understand that things have changed.
Today, 46 kids are diagnosed with cancer every day.
It is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of fifteen.
Diabetes, obesity, asthma and food allergies are a tsunami of conditions raining down on the health of our children. And autism now impacts 1 in 88 American children.
Our grandmothers weren’t navigating these statistics. We know that it hasn’t always been this way.
And we see firsthand how hard it can be, as we share the heartache of a friend, witness the grief of a sister or help a neighbor struggling with the cost of care. We say our prayers at night, grateful for the blessings we have received and mindful of how quickly things can change.
Our children have earned the title of Generation Rx because of how pervasive these conditions have become.

It didn’t used to be this way. And as this landscape of health has changed so quickly in such a short time,

"Thanks to the USDA, sugar from beets can spread unhindered throughout the food supply,
contaminating everything within reach. Almost 95 percent of U.S. sugar beets come from GM seeds --
an amazing feat considering they were only approved for planting in 2005.
Sugar beets comprise over 50 percent of U.S. sugar production while the rest comes from sugar cane.
GM crops have been shown to increase the likelihood of cancer,
changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal tract, allergic reactions, infertility and accelerated aging.
GM sugar appears to be a major avenue for the development of disease when the sheer quantities the average American consumes, an astonishing 130 pounds a year, is taken into account."

Avoiding genetically engineered foods should be at the top of everyone's list--
if you want a decent shot at optimal health.
The simplest way to avoid genetically engineered (GE) foods is to buy whole, certified organic foods.
By definition, foods that are certified organic must never intentionally use GE ingredients,
and must be produced without artificial pesticides or fertilizers.
Animals must also be reared without the routine use of antibiotics, growth promoters or other drugs.
Additionally, grass-fed beef will not have been fed GE corn feed.
You can also avoid genetically modified (GM) ingredients in processed foods, if you know what to look for.
There are currently eight genetically modified food crops on the market:
SoySugar from sugar beetsCornHawaiian papayaCottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils)
Some varieties of zucchiniCanola (canola oil)Crookneck squash
This means you should avoid products with corn, soy, canola,
and any of their derivatives listed as an ingredient, unless it's labeled USDA 100% Organic.
As of late last year, this also includes sweet corn,
as Monsanto introduced a brand new genetically engineered sweet corn called Seminis®,
which contains not just one but TWO types of Bt-toxin, PLUS the Roundup Ready gene for weed control!
So besides containing the insecticide, their toxic Roundup herbicide will also accumulate in the kernels.

How To Avoid GMO Foods
Naturalnews.com/How to avoid_GMO_foods
Since the massive invasion of GMO's into the food supply from 1996,
chronic diseases and food allergies have doubled.
There is so much $$ tied up in all this, that it is hard for these companies
to look out for the common good of the people and the health of the planet.
Avoid the big four, which has become five now: The highly genetically engineered crops are
soy, corn, canola and cottonseed. Add sugar beets, which are now becoming GMO.
Most blended oils in North America contain canola and cottonseed oils. Use extra virgin olive oil instead.
Avoid all soy products and oils as well. The healthy alternative is usually not so healthy after all,
since most soy is GMO unless it is specifically labeled non-GMO.
Most corn is GMO. Items like corn flakes and corn chips are from GM corn.
Corn based products, corn starch, corn oil, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup
appear on the ingredients labels of many processed foods.
Corn in various forms is prevalent in the vast fast food supply that dominates our culture.
GMO corn is fed to cattle and other livestock. If you eat beef, pork or fowl, you are probably a second hand consumer of GM corn. So dig a little deeper and buy grass or alfalfa fed or free range livestock meats only.
Sugar beets are added to the big four to make it five. Now more and more sugar beets are GMO.
Sugar from sugar beets is less expensive than cane sugar for refined sugar;therefore, it is popular with food processing groups. So if you haven't stopped using sugar or products with refined sugar,
you might want to reconsider now.
A handy guide for consumers arePLU codesthat are labeled or stamped onto fruits and vegetables.
PLU stands for Price Look Up. The PLU codes are for input into electronic cash registers to determine prices for bulk items, such as apples and cabbage. The codes identify exactly what the item is with its current pricing,
while giving the consumer a handy tag for identifying GMO produce.
Each PLU code has five digits. If the first digit is a 9, the item is organic. If it is an 8, it is GMO!
Conventionally grown produce has a 0 for the first digit, but usually the 0 is dropped.
So most conventionally grown produce will actually have only 4 digits on the PLU tag if you don't see a 0 at the beginning. The 8 gives you the worst of two worlds, GMO and heavy chemical spraying!
Those are your three main categories. PLU codes do not usually appear on packaged produce or items
such as string beans that are too small to label or stamp.
Obviously, buying organic and from local farmers is ideal. Forget convenience.
Buy bulk and eschew packaged foods. So what if you have to soak legumes the night before cooking them.
If you buy locally, through a local health food store or at a farmers' market, you can determine by direct communication how the crops were raised.

Note-be careful re thinking we can transform ourselves by,
feeling better about ourselves, eating organic foods.
We will not live forever by eating organic, our body will still age and die.

Once we know God, He can give us the power to choose how to eat right,
so our body/mind receives the nutrition to function as He made it to.
