A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are generally known as recombinant DNA technology. With recombinant DNA technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined in vitro into one molecule to create a new gene. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the expression of modified or novel traits.

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from GMO that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola cotton seed oil and wheat.

Fat vs Sugar - How To Get Rid Of That Spare Tyre  

I

Yesterday a newspaper article that STUNNED me.

Quoting several highly respected Almost all statements of nutritional scientists, he explained all the reasons why sugar is so deadly for our health, and all the sneaky ways it will be in our diet. Now all this was not exactly what stunned me. I had heard that it was all I before.

What MIND-BLOWING was that this article suggested that you might be better eat fat than sugar. The fat can even be (gasp!) Good for you.

Why this shock me?

Because it's about time!

Independently funded researchers, nutritionists and holistic therapists have known this for years! And I was on the train, as it always watch to the test and the weight to stay off (almost) effortlessly.

Here are the (not so sa) Facts about sugar.

� In 1938 the per capita consumption of sugar hidden (in processed foods) was 16.3 kg. An equivalent study, in 1989, showed the per capita consumption of 48.3 kilograms. In the same 50-year period, obesity, diabetes and heart disease have reached epidemic proportions.

� Do you not eat your shares? Think again. Start reading labels - even mineral water often has sugar added. Fat-free products are common culprits, and even up to 50% sugar - although marketed as healthy. Restaurants also have a lot to answer for - and I am not just talking about dessert. 90% of Chinese foods contain added sugar and flavor booster - and not only the cheapies. Try the following Google search: Nobu, black cod, miso. You are at a shock.

� Fresh food is also a factor. The food industry knows how addictive sugar. Is there a better way to get money than you addicted? Genetically modified crops allows farmers to develop, apples and other fresh foods have a higher level than the natural sugar.

� Frequent (daily) consumption of sugar means that your body is constantly releasing hormone insulin (for the management and storage of sugar). One of insulin in the first place is to store fat. , As well as to your waist, excess sugar causes tooth decay, iron and magnesium deficiency, arthritis, disturbances of sleep patterns, and digestive dysfunction. These are just some of the results of a high sugar diet.

� Sugar adds calories without filling you or give lasting satisfaction, which means that it is nothing more than a 'll-you-pay-for-it-later "Pick me up.

Why fat is a better choice:

1. Although fat contains more calories per gram than sugar, it is very nutrient-dense. This means that a small amount (eg 20% of the daily diet), leads to satisfaction. Earnings � If you (good) fat to your diet, you will notice you can dramatically reduce Graen part, and must no longer so often snack between meals.

2. your body needs fat for a healthy function. Fat allows your brain good to function, it supports and protects your heart and vital organs, and eat it actually helps you lose weight. Fat fuels your metabolism and your body allows the release of stored fat energy.

3. good fats are natural foods. Refined sugar is basically A man from Essen. Can we really say that we know better than nature? It evolved out of the country to live, not living in chocolate and cookies.

4. rich foods taste good, and keep in mind that all work, recreation and play with a few extra oomph!

So what kind of fat is best?

I'm sure you have an idea! Certainly not hot chips and pizza!

Still - perhaps surprising. meat and saturated fats are currently two holistic and conventional medicine is good for your health. Not only that, they will actually help your body to mobilize and burn fat.

Include excess fat tissue of animals (only eat the fat from organic meat, meat, fat than conventional keeps toxins , which then directly to your fat cells). If you do not eat much meat, or do not have access to organic meat, coconut oil. these 92% saturated fatty acids consists of medium-chain fatty acids, which directly to your liver for good sources energy.

Other for fat organic raw nuts, avocados, extra virgin olive oil, and seeds. vegetables and peanut oil should be avoided at all costs.
