What Is A GMO?

It stands for Genetically Modified Organism. GMOs allow crops to survive after being sprayed with pesticides and chemicals to kill the bugs, weeds, etc. In this country, we have changed the way we produce/farm our food. Now, our bodies do not know how to process much of our food. However, we still ingest these toxins when we eat GMO foods.

In the movie, “GMO OMG!”, a concerned father interested in his children’s future goes on a quest to find out exactly what GMOs are and if they are safe for both he and his children. Most of the people he asked didn’t even know what GMOs were, much less know whether they were eating them or not!

There doesn’t seem to be sufficient evidence to deem any GMOs “safe” for ingestion. The studies that were conducted by the chemical companies producing GMOs were very short-lived and inconclusive. When an independent study was conducted on rats, in month four the rats developed large tumors, especially in the breast area (GMO OMG). This is the direct result of our bodies truly not recognizing and not knowing what to do with these altered foods once they are ingested.

When Did GMOs Hit The Market?

Commercial sale of genetically modified crops began in 1994, when the “delayed ripening tomato” was marketed by Calgene. To date, most genetic modification of foods have primarily focused on cash crops. Here are a few examples:

About 90% of the corn grown in the US has been genetically modified.

About 90% of the planted area of soybeans in the US are genetically modified varieties.

GMO livestock have also been experimentally developed, but as of November 2013 none are on the market.

Are GMOs Safe?

There is much debate on this subject. Scientific consensus report that food derived from GMO crops does not pose any greater risk to your health than conventional food. What raises my eyebrow is this: If GMOs are safe, then why have companies like Monsanto threatened to sue several states in our country that proposed a bill to label GMO products, giving consumers the right to know what they are purchasing and eating. We’re just talking labeling here. Shouldn’t we have the right to know what we are putting into our bodies? There have been objections to GMOs on several grounds, including safety issues, environmental concerns, and economic concerns raised by the fact that GMO seeds that are food sources can be patented and owned by corporations! Strange.

When Detoxing, Eliminate GMOs

“Food can be the safest, most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.” In a nutshell, your body only recognizes two things that you put IN it (food, drugs, sodas, etc.) or that you put ON it (lotions, skin care, soap, etc.). Those two things are nutrients or toxins. That’s it. A nutrient is anything you eat that your body converts to energy, or uses as fuel. On the contrary, toxins therefore are anything that your body cannot use as energy. Since your body doesn’t recognize GMOs, they will be stored in the fat bucket, along with all the other toxins.
