Genetically Engineered Foods

Very few studies have been conducted to determine whether genetically engineered foods (GMO) are harmful to human health. Many scientists believe that genetically engineered foods have been rushed to the marketplace too quickly.
Genetic engineering has triggered food allergies in unsuspecting people. For example, if genes of a particular kind of nut are inserted in a vegetable, a person with an allergy to that nut may react to the vegetable. And there is no way for us to know if we are getting genetically engineered foods in the United States because it is illegal to label foods as genetically engineered in the USA (but not in many other countries.)
Genetic engineering has created new toxins harmful to human health. In 1989, a genetically engineered version of tryptophan, a dietary supplement, produced toxic contaminants. Before being recalled by the FDA, the mutated tryptophan killed 37 Americans, permanently disabled 1,500, and 5,000 became ill with a blood disorder called eosinophila myalgia syndrome.
A British study has found that genetically engineered bacteria lives on in the human gut. Researchers at the University of Newcastle have found that an herbicide-resistant gene from genetically altered soy was found in 3 out of 7 test patients. This development is highly significant because it proves the biotech industry wrong. They have repeatedly stated that DNA from genetically altered foods cannot transfer to human gut bacteria.
Since it is illegal to label foods as genetically engineered in the USA, the only way to be sure that you're getting no GMO foods is to buy organic. Nearly all the nonorganic corn and soybeans in the USA today are GMO. They have been inserting cold water fish genes into tomatoes to provide them with longer shelf life in cold storage. The Frankenstein foods that they are creating should always be avoided if you are concerned about your health. That's why I say, just say no to GMO.
