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.

The Right Balance  

There are rarely more contentious exchanges, as if vegetarians and meat (including beef, poultry, lamb, pork and fish) eaters face. It is important to consider what people traditionally consumed over millions of years until recently. Modern "wisdom" is that meat is evil and we as people should know better than to eat our "friends". It is argued that our systems are not designed to eat and animals that we live longer and slimmer, without consuming them.

What is needed is to recognize that protein is essential for growth and development. It provides the body with energy and needed for the production of hormones, antibodies, enzymes and tissues. Complete proteins are those that all nine essential amino acids. The best source of complete protein is certified organic meat, eggs, raw milk, nuts and seeds. Of those, meat is one of the best sources for "complete" protein available.

There is a rhythm of life lost seems that in the current search for spirituality and political correctness. Feed lots and conventional agriculture are abominations against nature with their drugs, pesticides and chemical applications. Sustainable agriculture values of their land, animals and plants as the creator intended, this tendency food, merchandise with awe. Saturated fats and animal proteins are, what we have over the millennia. Our cell walls consist of 50% cholesterol, and so is mother's milk. Human intestinal tract are closer in length, of the carnivores as ruminants and we do not chew CUD. Consume too many grains promote the release of insulin, whose sole function is the blood of more than sugar, stored as fat. All of us differ genetically and should be eating. We can survive by eating fruit, vegetables and cereals, but we are more robust and thrive with the right balance of both meat and vegetables.

The Asians are not (and never have) consume large amounts of soy, nor have they thrived on them and they know that soy can not be digested, unless it is fermented. It was a last ditch source of protein in times of famine. Soy products like miso and tempeh are used as condiments in small quantities. Unfermented soy, on the other hand, has been found to contain a chemical that acts like the hormone estrogen. A single glass of soy milk contains the equivalent of eight birth control pills to estrogen-like compounds!

How much fuel and water, the finite resources that would increase plundered all that genetically modified soy, wheat and corn? When fields are plowed under by tractors emitting pollutants into the air, small animals, birds and beetles are destroyed in the process and our mother land is less fertile. Plants have a life force, too. How do they feel when we rip it from the soil through their roots? Had the feeling that our hair torn out? Did they yell?

Many turn to vegetarianism in the belief that they live longer and healthier. Consider the following steps:

"It is usually argued that meat-eating peoples have a short lifespan, but the Aborigines of Australia, which traditionally eat a diet rich in animal products, are known for their longevity (at least before colonization by Europeans). Within Aboriginal society, there is a special caste of the elderly. Of course, if no old people had no such group exists would. In his book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration", Dr. Price has numerous photos of older indigenous peoples from around the world. explorer Vilhjalmur Stefánsson as reported great longevity among the Inuit (again, before colonization).

Even the Russians in the Caucasus Mountains to live large age groups on a diet of fatty substances, pork and Whole-milk products. Hunzas, also known for her robust health and longevity, eat large parts of the goat, a higher content of saturated fatty acids than cow's milk. In contrast, the largely vegetarian Hindus in southern India have the shortest lifespan in the World, partly because of a lack of food, but also because of a distinct lack of animal protein in their diet. "(1)

With so much confusing information threw at us on a daily basis as well as the plethora of" experts "On the Internet, it is easy to wrest clippings and personal spins on them. As for me and what I encourage my clients to wrap their heads around is what are the crucial peoples of the world traditionally consumed? If this track record is considered, we see that meat or animal products from 50 to 80% of their food, and they were not destroyed by the chronic diseases in our society today. References
