Truth about GMO

One the graten threats to the humanity today is the use of genetic modified (GM) crops in the food supply. Already the world is facing a disaster diseases caused in part by GM foods. Unless something happens to change drastically, we will degenerative diseases of the epidemic proportions.

I have said many times in my writings that man in all his wisdom and knowledge is not better than nature. Some large enterprises play with the God of our food. Have you ever thought what would happen if all genetically modified, pesticide-compatible, laboratory-concocted Frankenstein Foods by the end of genetically contaminating the natural crops we depend on for a sustainable food?

Currently the use of genetically modified food is a subject of great controversy and global discussion. Environmental and consumer associations have demanded that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to follow the lead of the European Union, Japan and other countries through the labels on GM foods, consumers know what they are buying. The US government alleges that such mandatory food labels are not necessary because genetically modified food "poses no inherent security risk'

In the USA only 40% of respondents know that some of the food they buy and eat is a genetically modified (GM), according to a survey by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), an industry group funded by food, beverage and agricultural industries. addition, nearly 1 in 4 people mistakenly believe that such foods are not sold in the United States.

Are the potential dangers of genetically modified food?

Those been identified:

� New toxins and allergens in foods

� Other adverse effects on health through unnatural foods

� The creation of herbicide-resistant weeds

� The spread of diseases in � barriers

species loss of biological diversity in crops

� The disruption of the ecological balance

� Artificially induced properties and inevitable side effects will be sent to all subsequent generations and other related organisms. once released, they can not be recalled or contained. The consequences are clear incalculable

Genetically products have the potential to be a very toxic, and thus a threat to human health. In 1989, a genetically brand of L-tryptophan, a common dietary supplements, killed 37 Americans and permanently disabled or afflicted more than 5000 other with a painful and potentially fatal blood disease, eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS), before it was recalled by the US Food and Drug Administration.

Many experts believe that the full impact of GM foods on health and the environment will continue over the next few years . Until then full blown disease, which medical science can not understand, can not be treated the already overwhelming list of diseases that are not 'cured' .

Playing God with seeds and the food supply for the purpose of extraction maximum profits for the company, it is the very future of humanity to an extreme risk. Suppose the terminator gene crops cross-pollinate some basic foodstuffs food crops, which now feed the world ... What happens then? Imagine all wheat grew up in the United States self-destructive suddenly after a single growing season. famine would quickly followed by economic collapse, military action, and quite possibly the collapse of the nation. And the same is true for most parts of the developed world.

I can not wait until the day when the people against corruption and the power of the overbearing corporations. Over time, we will once again our right to a clean environment, food that is naturally produced and easy access to legal means of holistic health. bodies have this power over us will crumble, and governments, which together with the company, to the power, health and the US dollar from the people pay the price.
