40 Studies Proving GM Foods Are Destroying Our Health

Shelby0576 views

Unlike the strict safety evaluations required for the approval of new drugs, the safety of genetically engineered foods for human consumption is not adequately tested. GMO’s can pose serious health effects, as they are unnatural to our bodies.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the product of scientists changing the genes of an original organism. The most frightening part about it, is that the government does not require GMO labeling on the food products we buy every day.

I have included a list of 40 rodent studies conducted either using Roundup, Ready, or Bt-toxin GM feed. It is chilling to know our elected officials are putting corporate interests and profiteering above public health. The United States is the first country in the world to ban GMO labeling.

The following studies, compiled by GMO Free USA, prove how the rats suffered a wide assortment of ailments including:

  • Increased intestinal infections
  • High cholesterol
  • Birth defects
  • Weight-increase and higher incidence of mortality
  • Organ pathologies in the liver, kidneys, pancreas, ovaries, testes, and adrenals
  • Major issues with both the intestinal tracts and immunity of the animals tested
