The GMO Issue: Top Natural Health News from Dr. Mercola
The fight against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) rages on, and more pressing issues have arisen. With awareness, this silent threat can be addressed, and the public can make informed food choices. Dr. Joseph Mercola presents some natural health news featuring the latest discoveries about GMO.
Doctor Warns: Eat This and You’ll Look 5 Years Older
Unlearn what you know about soy’s health benefits, which are mostly played up as part of clever marketing techniques to further reduce the production cost and nutritional content of your food. The truth is 94 percent of soy grown in the US is genetically modified (GM). This simply guarantees that the soy products and processed foods with soy derivatives are most likely GM foods, which are known to cause health problems including hormone disruption and fertility risks.
In this article, Dr. Mercola helps you determine which soy products are genetically modified, as well as introduces what type of soy foods can give you true health benefits.
Could 93% of These Beans be Cancer-Causing?
Apart from Dr. Mercola, other experts advise against consuming GM foods because of the health risks involved. Many of these foods are commonly found in groceries and may be in your homes at this very moment. Canned foods (particularly acidic foods like tomatoes), corn-fed beef, and microwave popcorn are just some of the products you should avoid. These GM foods are often contaminated with an herbicide ingredient called glyphosate.
To learn more about glyphosate and its dangers to human health – as well as other foods you should avoid – read this article.
This Menace Killed 50% of Rats Tested – But It’s Hiding in Your Water, Air and Food
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, is said to have contaminated groundwater that feeds springs, wells, and aquifers. Roundup herbicide has been used in many crops and is said to be environmentally friendly, according to its creator Monsanto. However, studies show that glyphosate is linked to more than 20 adverse health risks including birth defects, infertility, and cancer.
In this article, Dr. Mercola elaborates on the glyphosate issue and gives guidelines on how to avoid exposure to glyphosate herbicides and foods that may be contaminated.
Refuse to Eat These Foods – They Could Destroy Your Reproductive Organs
As GM corn and soy are becoming more widely available in many supermarkets, a new GMO-related threat has been found. Private firms have planned to release GM mosquitoes into the environment of the Florida Keys. These mosquitoes have been injected with a genetically modified gene that will kill them before reaching adulthood. The offspring of these GM mosquitoes are sure to die, unless given an antibiotic known as tetracycline.
The effects of these genetically modified mosquitoes to humans are unknown at the moment. In this article, Dr. Mercola expounds more on the matter.
Take Heed – Nearly Every Processed Food You Eat is Contaminated with this Material
Regardless of the studies showing the toxicity of GM foods, the biotechnology industry still persists in promoting GM foods. They have spent more than 572 million dollars in campaign contributions, lobbying expenditures, efforts for the approval of GM and cloned foods, animal livestock, and efforts to prevent the labeling of GM products in the United States. The more concerning matter is that the firms in the biotech industry have also infiltrated US regulatory agencies such as FDA and USDA.
At present, a California Ballot for GM food labeling is underway. Read this article to find out how you can contribute.
