It's Not Just Your Health

Although I have written about avoiding GMO products countless times, the routine seems to never get too old. Thus, after reading Wanttoknow.info's article, "GMOs and Genetically Modified Foods
Risks and Dangers of GMOs," I have rediscovered additional reasons to stay GMO-free.

• Agency scientists warned that GM foods in general might create unpredicted allergies, toxins, antibiotic resistant diseases, and nutritional problems
• Tragically, scientists who voice their criticism, as well as those who have discovered incriminating evidence, have been threatened, stripped of responsibilities, denied funding or tenure, or fired
• Americans eat genetically modified foods everyday
• Cows fed GM corn in Germany died mysteriously
• Soon after GM soy was introduced to the UK, soy allergies skyrocketed by 50 percent
• The only human feeding study ever conducted showed that the gene inserted into soybeans spontaneously transferred out of food and into the DNA of gut bacteria
• No one monitors human health impacts of GM foods
• In the US, most people believe they have never eaten a GM food in their lives

Overall, I found this article to be particularly insightful in not only highlighting the health consequences of GMOs, but also the social and long-term.
