"This type of thing happens a lot, and the vast majority of com and soy is now grown from gmo seeds. Some GMOs combine genes from both plant and animal species! In fact the FDA and EPA even classify as insecticides certain com and potato strains that were designed to produce toxins to kill insects. So when you eat commercial com or potatoes, you could be unsuspectingly eating an insecticide! GMOs accelerate aging. Ingesting unnatural, toxic, genetically modified foods introduces still more poisons into our bodies. GMOs thus add to disease progression." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"By 2003, there were 167 million acres of farmland in eighteen countries growing gmo crops. Opponents of GMOs rightly state that once these new organisms are placed in fields, we lose control of the pollination process, with unpredictable consequences for other species in the plant, animal, and insect kingdoms. Proponents of GMOs state that they are trying to bring food ro rhe world to stamp out hunger. This is a noble cause." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"The way the monopolists try to persuade us that this is ethical is by claiming that we need this technology to feed the world's hungry, but the truth is that gmo crops actually yield 4-10% less than heirloom varieties (Spiritual Nutrition, p. 506). Furthermore, since they have genes spliced from other sources, GMOs may contain any number of allergens that are not listed, thus inducing allergic responses in some people. For example, according to Jeffrey M." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Organic foods are always free from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) and, in the case of meat, are not fed on gmo grains, etc. (I do not recommend eating any meat fed on any grains or cereals). There are no government studies as to what gmo foods may or may not cause, as apparently the government authorities did not feel we are worth it. The only ones that were independent showed side effects. • Organic foods do not contain hydrogenated fats (the really bad kind that make you sick, as opposed to fats that make you healthy)." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"In the Hong Kong Supermarket in Manhattan's Chinatown I found a papaya with a label saying "no gmo, no irradiation, no hot water treatment, 100% natural tree-ripened" (no gmo stands for "no genetically modified organisms"). The papaya, however, was anything but ripe and I had no immediate way to evaluate the accuracy of the other statements. Under our current system of food regulation, GM foods do not have to be labeled as such. Why not?" - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"They are not used, however, in the Rainbow Green World Cuisine because soy is difficult for the body to process and the products are likely to be contaminated by gmo crops. It has also been shown that during the heat of processing (yes, all soy products are cooked) of these products there is a formation of naturally occurring MSG.

"All say they are made with "non-GMO" ingredients, meaning that the soybeans used to make the oil are not patented varieties genetically engineered to resist insects or pesticides. gmo or not, vegan or not, organic or not, margarines are concoctions of soy oil —fat and cosmetic additives. The health claims on these packages are there to distract you from remembering that margarine is a fat and has calories. As for "light" margarines: these have fewer calories and less fat because their first ingredient is water." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Also, since gmo plants do not reproduce once the "suicide" gene has been inserted into their DNA, farmers must purchase new seeds every year, resulting in a potential food monopoly akin to the oil and banking cartels. This practice institutes a sneaky form of monopoly that will only get worse and worse until a small elite cartel controls our entire food supply." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"We do not know what the gmo phytoestrogens contained in soy will do when they interact with human breast tissue. Would you like to be part of the experiment? If so, eat soy. The most common legumes of Mediterranean people are lentils, chickpeas, and white beans. Scandinavians eat more brown beans and peas. Japanese enjoy soy in the form of tofu, natto, and miso. Research now shows that in elderly individuals, for every 80 calories of legumes they have in their daily diet, they reduce their risk of premature death by seven to eight percent." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"They are also called GEOs, for genetically engineered organisms. If a gmo is used for food or to produce GM proteins used in food, the ingested product is called GM food. Biotechnology refers to a broad set of technologies, which include genetic engineering. For convenience, however, we use the term biotech companies specifically to refer to agricultural biotechnology companies that develop and promote GM crops and GM food. HT refers to herbicide tolerance. HT GM crops are given a trait allowing them to inactivate a particular herbicide and survive its application." - Jeffrey M.

If we can't count on raw fruits and vegetables to be pure sources of nutrition, how are we supposed to obtain the energy necessary for life?" The answer lies in choosing organically grown or locally grown (farmer's market) foods.

Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Some kinds of gmo (especially corn) are highly contaminant of conventional crops: they invade other fields and spread throughout the environment. GMOs are the "perfect" product of the agricultural industry, the pinnacle reached in the quest for the "perfect variety": more resistant, more productive, the ideal monoculture." - Carlo Petrini, Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, And Fair (Get the book.)

"We learned later that the Swiss giant Novartis, at the time one of the world's biggest producers of gmo seeds, banned them from its own food brands. "Remember, this was in the aftermath of the first mad cow disease scare and HIV contaminations in French blood supplies. The French were saying, 'You said to trust you once, trust you twice. Not a third time.' "We won a great victory," Bruno says, smiling. "Eighty percent of human food products in France are now GMO-free; the only country left in Europe cultivating GMOs is Spain." - Jeremy P. Tarcher, Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet (Get the book.)

"Since it had been assumed that HGT is rare in other kingdoms or between kingdoms, its consequences were not considered as part of gmo risk assessments. New information shows that not only do transgenes jump from GM crops to gut and soil bacteria, but the way they are constructed might actually facilitate gene transfer. Had this been known before, the current generation of GM crops might never have been approved. Nonetheless, assessments and regulations have still not been updated to adequately deal with this confirmed risk." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"A farmer in Canada was just successfully sued by Monsanto for illegally growing Monsanto crops—even though he said he'd never bought Monsanto seeds; the wind had blown the pollen onto his property). Once gmo grains enter the distribution chain, it's impossible to segregate them. That's what Gerber found out when it tried to avoid GMOs in its baby foods and discovered it had to remove corn from its mixed cereal. Despite the company's efforts to avoid it, gmo corn kept turning up. We're all affected, whether we like it or not." - Jeremy P. Tarcher, Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet (Get the book.)

"In spite of the preliminary nature of the evidence, it remains the most in-depth gmo feeding study ever published. Problems maybe common in GM crops It is sobering that these potatoes would have passed the tests used to get other GM crops approved. Stanley Ewen, who identified the proliferative cell growth in the rats, says that if GM foods create such effects in humans, they might increase the incidence of digestive system ailments such as Barrett's esophagus and stomach and colorectal cancer." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"The FDA purposely does not require labeling of gmo food, since no one who understands the issue would ever purchase it. This makes it all the more difficult to locate healthful food. In the fast-food livestock industry, animals live under inhumane conditions and require constant antibiotics to keep their diseases under control. They are fed synthetic growth hormone to rapidly increase their size. Unhealthy animals hold fluid due to inflammation, making them weigh more than healthier animals. Many livestock animals never get exercise, ensuring they will be fatter (profit is by weight)." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"So today, gmo products line most grocery shelves, yet Americans know virtually nothing about them or their risks. In fact, 70 percent of Americans still believe they have never eaten GMOs. Adding insult to injury, our government, yielding to industry pressure, refuses to mandate labeling GMOs so that the public might at least know what it's eating." - Jeremy P. Tarcher, Hope's Edge: The Next Diet for a Small Planet (Get the book.)

"In September 2006, the WTO issued its decision: the EU's moratorium on gmo imports amounted to a blanket ban on products from other countries; it was an illegal barrier to trade.13 The WTO's decision found that the Europeans could block the import of an entire class of products without risk assessment of individual varieties. But by the time the case was decided against Europe, the ban that the WTO ruled against was no longer in place." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Pamphlets and fliers extol the virtues of palm oil, among them "no cholesterol, no trans fat, no gmo, no sodium, 100 percent vegan, and attractive natural color" —all true of any vegetable oil, of course. Palm oil companies dispense with the troublesome palmitic acid problem by emphasizing the positive: half the fatty acids are unsaturated, after all. Companies have taken steps to reduce trans fats, mainly by diluting them with water or air, but they still comprise 15 percent or more of the ^¦¦¦¦¦HHHHHBl fat in hydrogenated margarines." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)
