I WILL NOT BE FAT, SICK AND TIRED FROM EATING GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD

I am reading Jeffrey M. Smith's book, Seeds of Deception and NOT voluntarily eating toxic Genetically Modified (GM) foods EVER AGAIN. I WILL NOT be obese or get kidney and/or liver damage. Shame on you food companies for using the American people as guinea pigs!  Do you want to be healthy?  Incorporate more raw fruits and veggies into your diet.  Avoid genetically modified foods: corn (especially high fructose corn syrup), soybeans, canola, cottonseed, crookneck squash, papayas from Hawaii, zucchini, aspartame (in all "diet" sodas and "diet" foods), conventional dairy products containing rbGH, and rennet in conventional hard cheeses.  

In Seeds of Deception, Smith mentions an Italian study where they fed genetically modified corn to mice. As a result, the mice expressed a wide variety of immune responses commonly associated with diseases such as:
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Osteoporosis
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Various types of cancer
  • Allergies
  • Lou Gehrig’s disease
In addition, Jeffrey Smith has documented at least 65 serious health risks from GM products of all kinds.
Among them:
  • Offspring of rats fed GM soy showed a five-fold increase in mortality, lower birth weights, and the inability to reproduce
  • Male mice fed GM soy had damaged young sperm cells
  • The embryo offspring of GM soy-fed mice had altered DNA functioning
  • Several US farmers reported sterility or fertility problems among pigs and cows fed on GM corn varieties
  • Investigators in India have documented fertility problems, abortions, premature births, and other serious health issues, including deaths, among buffaloes fed GM cottonseed products 
  • Conventional non-organic milk with GM growth hormone, has been linked to increased cancer risk.

Dr. Joseph Mercola conducted an excellent interview with Jeffrey M. Smith.  I have linked to it here.  Please stay tuned for my full review of this great book -- one of the key pieces in the mystery surrounding a rise in chronic illness and obesity in the U.S.
