Studies have linked genetically modified foods to a host of different problems including allergy, cancers, infertility, bowel dysfunction, immune dysfunction, environmental trauma, and death. Author Jeffrey Smith is an expert on the topic. His book, Seeds of Deception, discusses the science behind the catastrophic detriments of genetically modified foods to human health and the environment.

Dr. Osborne’s Comment
Folks, this is some scary stuff! If you need any more reasons to buy or grow organic foods this is it.
Genetically modified foods are common place in your local grocery store. The most common genetically modified foods include:
- Corn
- Soy
- Canola
- Cottonseed (oil)
Items commonly made from these oils include maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, soy lecithin, and modified food starch. These items are found in thousands of packaged food items including chocolate, cereals, ketchup, mayonnaise, packaged gravy and salad dressings, soft drinks, canned fruits, and more. As a matter of fact, 75% of all packaged foods have some form of GMO ingredient. Common GMO foods include:
- Nutrasweet (aspartame)
- Zucchini or crook neck squash
- Papaya
- Milk that contains rbGH
- Rennet (a genetically modified enzyme used to make hard cheeses)
The problem with GMO foods is that they have been shown to be allergenic, carcinogenic (cancer causing), and toxic. Studies in lab animals have shown the following:
- When given the choice, animals avoided GMO foods for real food
- Animals developed lung damage, cancer, kidney disease, liver disease, and more after eating GMO foods.
Many GMO foods are made by taking viral DNA and incorporating it into the DNA of the plant.
Studies have shown that the healthy, friendly bacteria in your gut can take the DNA from the genetically modified foods.
What Can We Do?
