GMO basics for natural health - How to avoid and why you may need to detox

(NaturalNews) GMOs are genetically modified foods made from combing genes from two or more unrelated species into one organism. The two most common types of genetic modifications are modifying crops to produce pesticides or modifying crops to be immune to herbicides (making them Roundup ready). Sugar beets have been modified to be Roundup ready. Both kinds of genetic modifications have been applied to corn and soy in the same seed.

What's so bad about GMOs?

GMOs have not undergone long-term studies. When biotech claims GMOs have been tested thousands of times, they're referring to 90-day studies or studies done for less than two years that have been funded by the industry.

There have been several studies linking GMOs to numerous health problems. The most common problems associated with long-term GMO consumption are kidney and liver damage, faulty insulin regulation, accelerated aging, cancer, and infertility.

When asked, more than half of all consumers say they avoid eating GMOs. Sadly this isn't the case at all. Consumers probably would avoid them if they were labeled, but over 90% of Americans and Canadians eat GMOs on a regular basis. If more of us knew what was genetically modified, we wouldn't eat these foods, and Monsanto and other businesses would be forced to find another way to make money.

The eight most common GMO crops are corn, soybeans, canola, cottonseed, sugar-beets, papaya, zucchini, and squash. Unfortunately, hundreds of other genetically modified foods are in development. It is only a matter of time before GMOs become much harder to avoid.
