GMO
information sheet!
GMO
= genetically modified organism
Genes of one species are put into genes of another species.
Facts:
- GMO’s were introduced into our food supply in the 90ties without the general public being informed.
- GMO’s are not tested enough for their safety (and what does it say about 'food' if it has to be tested on animals first?)
- The third generation of hamsters and mice fed GMO feed
lost the ability to have babies
- Buffalo, goats and sheep died after grazing on Bt cotton
plants.
- Bt is a toxin inserted into the DNA of crops so insects
that feed on them die.
- 93% of human umbilical cord blood tested in Canada still
contained the Bt toxins.
- Allergies, Asthma, ADD, ADHD and Autism are more common
since GMO crops are circulating in our food supplies.
- Animal tests have shown that when animals are fed a GMO
diet the number of stomach cells proliferate uncontrollably causing severe
inflammation in the digestive tract.
- When animals are taken off a GMO diet their behavior
changes into normal animal behavior and they are no longer lethargic.
- GMO crops can cross with non-GMO crops and nobody knows
what comes out of it.
- GMO’s promote monoculture and use more pesticides,
chemicals and water to grow.
Not all is
lost. Yet.
!!!Help me in
the fight to get rid of GMO’s!!!
- Buy organic and local as much as you can.
- Avoid non-organic Corn,
Soy, Canola oil, Cotton Seeds and Sugar Beets as over 90% of them are genetically modified.
And also in almost every processed product you take out of the shelves in
grocery stores. READ INGREDIENTS; products made from above mentioned gmo crops have MANY different names.
- Fight for labeling. Join me on facebook (Holistic Family
Nutrition) for updates and links to sign petitions to get GMO foods labeled.
The more people know about it the better and the less power corporations and
chemical companies will have. Vote with your wallet! Give your kids the
future they deserve and help the environment!
