Why should I start buying/growing Non-GMOs?

Someone has been messing with the foods that God gave us. Why? For money, of course. These foods were healthy, natural, and plentiful, but now it can be a chore to steer clear of foods that have been genetically engineered.
GMOs damage DNA and cause allergies, toxins, major organ failure, nutritional problems, major reproductive problems, and new diseases, some of which we undoubtedly haven't even heard about yet.

Which foods are genetically modified?

  • soy beans
  • corn
  • sugar beets
  • canola oil
  • cottenseed oil
  • Hawaiian papaya
  • some zucchini and crookneck squash
  • high fructose corn syrup
  • soy products

How do I avoid GMOs?

  • buy organic
  • buy products that are labeled non-gmo
  • buy products listed on a non-gmo shopping guide http://www.nongmoshoppingguide.com
  • avoid at-risk ingredients: soy, corn, cotton, canola

If you are interested in knowing more about this topic, look for Jeffrey Smith, author of "Seeds of Deception" and executive director for The Institute for Responsible Technology.

Be sure to watch the movie, "The Future of Food", if you haven't already. http://www.thefutureoffood.com/
