GMO, what?

Many of you probably have heard or  know what GMO food is.

It is any food product that has been altered at the gene level.Genetically modified foods are also frequently described as "genetically engineered", "genetically altered" or "genetically manipulated."

Foods that contain soybeans, corn, or their derivatives (soy oil, soy flour, soy protein isolates, corn oil, corn starch, corn flour, and high fructose corn syrup) are made from genetically modified organisms.

"Shopping organic is a great step towards ensuring that your family eats the healthiest foods possible. The challenge is that although GMOs are an excluded method under the National Organic Program, organic certification does not require GMO testing. Choosing products that are Certified Organic AND Non-GMO Project Verified is the best way to make sure you are getting the safest, healthiest, highest-quality food for your family."


So why a blog on GMO's? Some, like Dr OZ, may believe that "organic food consumers are “elitists”,“snooty”, and “snobs”. But I don't see it that way. With diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Autism & high blood pressure to name a few I want to steer clear from things that knowingly cause harm to me and my family. There is no way, unless we grow all our own food, to never eat GMO's but I think there is a way to eat with a deeper awareness and understanding of how our food can heal us or make up sick.

So what is this blog about? Many thing.

Informing you more about what GMO's are. Whats happening with the process of America getting GMO's labeled (like many other countries around the world), effects of GMO's on the body, what product labeling really means; if it is labeled organic is it GMO free? The list goes on.

 "Rats fed with GM corn showed organ failure & the toxin has been detected in the bodies of pregnant women". If we eat this stuff everyday for many years, no wonder diseases are skyrocketing. Our food is not healing us, its harming us.

Where do we go from here? For starters I think you have to decide if it bothers you that your food is filled with ingredients and cellular level modifications that are causing sickness. Second I think its important to start sharing with friends and calling manufactures (GMO hunter anyone?) and asking about their products and what they plan to do to remedy this issue.
