Genetically modified foods (GMO foods) have been shown to cause harm to humans, animals, and the environment, and despite growing opposition, more and more foods continue to be genetically altered. It’s important to note that steering clear of these foods completely may be difficult, and you should merely try to find other sources than your big chain grocer. If produce is certified USDA-organic, it’s non-GMO (or supposed to be!) Also, seek out local farmers and booths at farmer’s markets where you can be ensured that the crops aren’t GMO. Even better, if you are so inclined: Start organic gardening and grow them yourself. Until then, here are the top 10 worst GMO foods for your “do not eat” GMO foods list.
GMO Foods List: Top 10 Worst Foods
1. Corn
One of the most prominent GMO foods, avoiding corn is a no-brainer. If you’ve watched any food documentary, you know corn is highly modified. “As many as half of all U.S. farms growing corn for Monsanto are using genetically modified corn,” and much of it is intended for human consumption. Monsanto’s GMO corn has been tied to numerous health issues, including weight gain and organ disruption.
2. Soy
Found in tofu, vegetarian products, soybean oil, soy flour, and numerous other products, soy is also modified to resist herbicides. As of now, biotech giant Monsanto still has a tight grasp on the soybean market, with approximately 90 percent of soy being genetically engineered to resist Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup. In one single year, 2006, there was 96.7 million pounds of glyphosate sprayed on soybeans alone.
3. Sugar
According to NaturalNews, genetically-modified sugar beets were introduced to the U.S. market in 2009. Like others, they’ve been modified by Monsanto to resist herbicides. Monsanto has even had USDA and court-related issues with the planting of it’s sugarbeets, being ordered to remove seeds from the soil due to illegal approval.
4. Aspartame
Aspartame is a toxic additive used in numerous food products, and should be avoided for numerous reasons, including the fact that it is created with genetically modified bacteria.
5. Papayas
This one may come as a surprise to all of you tropical-fruit lovers. GMO papayas have been grown in Hawaii for consumption since 1999. Though they can’t be sold to countries in the European Union, they are welcome with open arms in the U.S. and Canada.
6. Canola
One of the most chemically altered foods in the U.S. diet, canola oil is obtained from rapeseed through a series of chemical actions.
7. Cotton
Found in cotton oil, cotton originating in India and China in particular has serious risks.
8. Dairy
Your dairy products may contain growth hormones, since as many as one-fifth of all dairy cows in America are pumped with these hormones. In fact, Monasnto’s health-hazardous rBGH has been banned in 27 countries, but is still in most US cows. If you must drink milk, buy organic.
9. and 10. Zucchini and Yellow Squash
Closely related, these two squash varieties are modified to resist viruses.
The dangers of some of these foods are well-known. The Bt toxin being used in GMO corn, for example, was recently detected in the blood of pregnant women and their babies. But perhaps more frightening are the risks that are still unknown. Even while these foods should be on your GMO foods list so that they are avoided, you can buy 100% organic to be safest.
With little regulation and safety tests performed by the companies doing the genetic modifications themselves, we have no way of knowing for certain what risks these lab-created foods pose to us outside of what we already know.
The best advice: steer clear of them altogether.

Here in Afrika in general, and Zimbabwe in particular, consecutive poor rains, coupled with a depressed economy, have seen us turn to donations and, as beggars are not choosers, what NGOs bring to hungry communities has been accepted with much gratitude and little scrutiny.
I would highly recommend you look up the practice of moon gazing and sun gazing, countless reports showing people not needing food anymore for months on end – one man has not yet eaten food or drank water since he as 12 he is now in this 80s, a young boy meditated for 10 months with no food or water. Sun gazing works – i'm currently working my way up and every day i feel more and more energized.
i agree sungazing does work and i need to start doing it again. your facts on the 80 year old man are off however. he only drinks water. One thing that puzzles scientist who study this man is the fact that his pineal gland is actually growing and is much larger than the average
Could both of you guys start blogs on your activities?
Btw, if you want some tips on this practice (also called bigu in Tibetan tradition) google meditationexpert and check out the fasting articles
Enjoy that fukishima radiation!! Wow….
Perhaps what they need is an organizer. With numbers standing strong and having their voice heard, many changes can be dreamed into reality. When a family becomes self-sustaining, it is truly a miracle to behold. Wishing you the best of luck and days ahead. Peace!
welcoming one form of death over another??
You're an idiot. Thank all things that matter that you aren't in any form of power. Especially concerning GMOs otherwise our friend Paradzai may have died from starvation. The person who posted this article has one source. Two of the sources for the sourced article are back to the natural society website. The only one with decent sources at all. Is the Huffington Post Article. which if you follow back the article it sources sources an actual journal.
The journal that is being referenced is one done in 2002 and is using the infamous Sprague-Dawley rats. This study has long since been defrauded. The rats develop large tumors naturally within a 2 year time span. Bad science is bad. So much misinformation is out there in relation to GMO's and the amount of bullshit that people repeat VS actual evidence is very skewed.
Here is the once source that many of those sites use: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12407…
Here's the common misinformation from peeps who are profiting from your fear: http://www.infowars.com/eu-sides-with-monsanto-in…
And here is a discovery.com article with some peer review: http://news.discovery.com/earth/plants/gm-corn-tu…
Remember, misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction.
Considering the article was published in 2012, ten years after the study they are citing. No attention to the defamation of the study after 10 years. That is not doing your homework at the least or openly misleading at the most. These folks can't be trusted to give accurate info.
Spoken by someone who seems to be a shill for GMO companies. Work for Monsanto by any chance?
My thoughts exactly JediQ. Monsantos foods good for us..Thats why they spent millions on lawyers so that they would not have to label their products as GMO..Think Booms been eating too much gmo corn
"from peeps who are profiting from your fear"
I'll give you that infowars profits off of fear, but the example of one bad website does not stretch to cover the entire issue.
Who are you suggesting "profits" from people growing their own vegetables and doing their own research when it comes to whether or not they wish to consume GMO's?
I don't care if the studies were de-frauded: I shouldn't be FORCED to consume something I do not wish to consume, no matter how irrational you believe my wishes are.
Anon, the organinc industry would be able to profit from charging artificially high premiums for their goods, based off of other's fears that competing products might be harmful. People always say to follow the money trail, but that trail leads in two directions.
Africa deserves much better than GMO crops!
so does the US.
you really can't eat shit anymore, all of these food facts are just really starting to piss me off…like what the fuck do we eat anymore if it's all poison?
so you want the people of your country to eat spermicidal corn?
How nice of us to donate food that will kill you so that you don't starve to death. being a depressed economy you a;so lack the medical practices that can treat all the diseases you would get from GMO foods. God made things perfect for how they were meant to be but we keep meddling with things and making them worse by making things APPEAR as though they are getting better. Man buys into the illusion because we are prideful people.
Interested in learning more about foods, additives and what is tampered with by
chemicals etc.
Any commercial food is subject to suspicion because it is raised for mass consumption to be profitable. Eat local, organic, vegetarian, grow your own, raise your own, just a few suggestions…
Watch the movie "Seeds of Death" about Monsanto and other chem cos and how they operate to control everything and everyone connected to food production. A real eye opener!!! The info might make you sick and the GMO food definitely will.
In Germany, the produce you buy will no longer rott…they don`t even get brown spots..noticed especially with tomatoes and bell peppers..you can not use the seeds for reproduction, either..they are sterile..:(((
BTW..I tried it with both tomatoes AND peppers..they stayed "fresh" for 5 months without refridgeration..and still going strong..no a spot on them..would I eat those? NO way…
woah.
That is completely frightening. I am so sorry for this. I contend that the people are the victims of their gov'ts, and it's global. When they've taken our ability to self-sustain, they've taken it all.
Potatoes don't grow "eyes" anymore. Organic ones will grow them.
Sure they do. My potatoes aren't organic and they always grow them.
sterile cos they are hybrid varieties which give great yield to farmers..and are not necessarily gm crops…
They probably have been irradiated, which basically sterilizes them with radiation.
I bought 1 orange and 1 green pepper at a krogers in SW TN. Both were perfect on the outside and moldy, brown and rotten to the core on the inside. Just like MONSANTO executives.
yap. or they get rotten after a few weeks and THEY START INSIDE, outside they look ok and when you open them they are rotten or even the seeds inside start to germinate looking like small worms. That is what I have seen in the US. yajjj
Hey, where's number 9?
9 is zucchini and 10 is yellow squash
Seriously?
Can anyone provide more scientific researched sites of sungazing? Even if it's alternative science studies. Also can you be more specific on this 80 year old man and provide his name? Thanks…
What is stargaxing and sungazing? Thanks
It is safe to assume that all processed food that is not labeled "non-GMO" contains some GMO ingredients. I do not know of any fresh produce grown from GE seeds, other than a few varieties of sweet corn. Theoretically GMO produce should have an "8" in the first position of the five digit PLU code. If one wants to eat only non-GMO soy products, then there are many available, all labeled USDA Organic or non-GMO.
The real problem is that pesticide resistant GE crops encourage the use of even more pesticides. In my opinion, we have more to fear from the increased amount of pesticides being introduced into the environment than from actually eating GMO foods.
What if fruits and vegetables could be genetically modified so that they would be pest (but not pesticide) resistant? What is the downside to GMO produce that did not require the use of any pesticides at all? Yes, I know there are other options as well.
Greetings,
Read the Monsanto story from a reliable source. They created one of the first pest resistant pesticides called Roundup Ready that is used on their crops. They even sue farmers for replanting the seeds from prior harvest. They actually have patents on their seeds so you can't even use the fruit from prior seeds you purchased. In other words, they are sewing up the worlds food market with GMO foods. Even organic giants like Whole Foods have caved in. Monsanto and ConAgra dominate the food market worldwide through the control of the seeds. In addition, they are forcing organic farmers out of the marketplace. One way to to contaminant their corps with the GMO seedlings.
I understand that GMO foods are genetically grown to produce their own insecticide which, of course, we ingest if we eat the foods.
Pesticides are non discriminant – they kill honey bees that we need for pollenizing our crops. If we kill the "good" bugs we will all be dead soon. Nature has a way of balancing itself out if we let it. Pesticide use is just bad for the whole ecosystem.

The problem with avoiding any GE crops is not a simple one, as everything has been contaminated by air currents, and insects, and birds. It is impossible to isolate thousands upon thousands of contaminated GE crops. The other grave issue is the aerosol/Chemtrails global assault for the past 14+ years. So, this means there are no real "organic" crops anymore. We are uninformed experimental lab animals for covert operations that have not only changed our entire weather, but also dumped enormous amounts of toxins on everything. This is well documented; but mainstream media (owned by 5 corporations) is complicit in this cover-up. For those not informed, check out:

AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this list. I would caution everyone to avoid GMO foods. They damage your liver and kidneys, reducing your ability to detox your body–so your body gets sic.
Thanks for this list. I would caution everyone to avoid GMO foods. They damage your liver and kidneys, reducing your ability to detox your body–so your body gets sick. Sorry for the spelling error!
Your spelling error is the least of it.
How exactly, or even approximately, does a foreign gene inserted in a crop damage the liver and kidneys?? Do you know anyone that this has happened to? Or is this just another thing that get's repeated enough that people believe it? I note that this is typically the ploy if right wingers, but I suspect you are not that.
@ Leo, it is not just about a foreign gene insertion. It is about huge amounts of pesticide poison being dumped on Gm crops, which they are engineered to live through. Monsanto is after all, a chemical and pesticide co.
WOW Finally! So why again do they need to be involved with our food supply???
A Fucking chemical company???!!!???!! Oh that's right because DDT was an effective insect repellant and was easy to wash off of our fruits and veggies. Which did not enter into the food. Can't have that!!! NO, NO, NO, lets just engineer toxins directly into the foods fuck the people! LEO, YOUR AN IDIOT!!! AGAIN WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are real economic and environmental issues with GM foods, but unless you know you have food allergies, this business of them being "dangerous to eat" is simply nonsense. (I can just hear the gasps.)
I'm sorry that goes counter to the echo chamber that exists here, but it's the truth. We eat DNA in our food every day; most crops are already highly modified and not truly natural. Even 'certified organic' crops can have all sorts of exceptions and low levels of certain 'non-organic.'
I don't doubt the well-intended concerns here – and as I said, GMOs have legit issues: economic justice and concerns with horizontal gene spread. Those are real issues. But unless you already have food allergies, the possible danger of GM food per se is minimal. I will gladly eat it.
I realize scaring people helps bring in donations and heated rhetoric. I am extremely leftist in my political views, but this "Frankenfood" meme is anti-scientific, new age nonsense. Right up there with magic crystals having "healing energies" – total, anti-science bunk. ('Sungazing' sounds even more ludicrous.)
People, there are MUCH bigger concerns – such as endocrine disruptors all around us. Etc, etc.
I know people will rail against my post. BFD! I'm sure there are lots of unverified anecdotes about someone's cousin who ate GM corn and went insane, but I'd bet a year's pay most if not all of those are bogus.
By beating this 'straw drum' so loudly, you just lose credibility with more mainstream media – and also are ignoring the real issues. Save scaring people for halloween when childish behavior is acceptable.
By the way, and very ironically: A major reason the GM food people are against labelling it is exactly because of the fear-mongering around the issue.
It's also ironic that I'm actually trying to tell people how to stop shooting themselves in the foot with this issue, but most will no doubt hate me for saying anything counter to their world-view.
i in no way purposely gave you a thumbs up! it was accident! BELIEVE THAT! i think you are either working for Monsanto or just not willing to see whats really goin on… WAKE UP! ~ 29countries didnt band this toxic food because it is good for us!! smh….some sheeple!
@ Leo, it is a distinct possibility that you are working on behalf of Monsanto, GMOs main pusher.
They are, after all, spending Millions to defeat the labeling bill set to be on the ballot in California this fall. That would definitely include money being paid to people to try to discredit info threads like this one. And, even if you are not (and are just badly informed about GMOs), you can be Sure there are others who are being paid to do this.
Hi Leo: It's hard to say whether you're a GMO lobby agent or not, but if so you're a good one. You sound convinced. I can only say to you that if you want GMO's to gain any credibility with thinking and concerned people, you've got to wrench it from the clutches of criminal corporations like Monsanto and hand over all future development to more credible agencies. Monsanto and their ilk have no social capital remaining at all and the vast majority of independent food producers and advocate consumers will fight them to the last.
In May 19th ,2009 the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) encouraged the American nation to stop consuming gmos', immediately. They released a position paper on gmo's , and in it ,they addresses the direct correlation between gmo's and adverse health effects. They cite several animal studies, scientists, pediatricians and medical and research personnel, alike. The AAEM then concluded that , "GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health…."( link; http://www.aaemonline.org/gmopost.html) The information is there for anyone who is willing to dig deep enough. Gmo's don't only cause harm to those with "allergic reactions" , they are threat to anyone and anything that injects then on massive scale. Do your research and become informed, gmo's should be labeled, and people HAVE every right to know what in their food. It's up to every individual to decide wether they still want to consume gmo's , once the information and truth regarding them is clearly and openly available.
Actually, there's enough credible science and field observation available now that it is clear that GMOs should not be labelled, they should be completely banned.
Leo you fat slob I hope you choke on a piece of corn you filthy globalist!
No one is saying outlaw the GMO food, Mr. Kretzner. We simply want this stuff to be labelled. You choose to eat GMO, others choose not to.. however, we need labels on the products so we can all make the choices that are best for us. No big deal right? We will have our labels no matter how much is spent to convince us otherwise. 37 will pass.
Here is an article for you to read while you're scarfing produce spliced with animal genes and chemicals – http://truth-out.org/news/item/11639-french-study…
I say we should absolutely outlaw the GMO food. Since there is ample evidence of the seriously harmful health impacts, there is no reason to allow it. And if we are honest about it, a majority of the public won't bother to read the labels anyway, while Monsanto laughts all the way to the bank. But even if GMOs were allowed to be sold, there should be a requirement to grow it in a completely isolated hermetically sealed facility with no chance for contamination in the natural real world.
Your an idiot!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LEO YOUR AN IDIOT GO VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!
I am in disbelief that someone could be so blind about this. Can you show me the extensive studies that support your statements. I think the one major study in Britain is all there is and they destroyed that and fired the man who did the studies which showed the damage that GMO foods can cause and it is reported the average person eat at least 200 lbs a year of GMO type foods a year and in most cases does not have a clue that they are doing it. I for one believe that there is going to be grave consequences. Wake up, quit being the so called expert. Maybe these meme's are anti-scientific because there is no scientific data to support GMO and none so far required because they, Monsanto and their co-hort have the FDA in thier pocket.
Leo, can you explain then why GMO food/feed crops have been banned in 29 other countries? Please don't say it was because the public demanded it. They demanded TESTING and after testing, 29 countries banned it !!
R u serious,stop playing,you must work with monsato,or own a vusiness and worried about losing a dollar!! In Canada,an independent company did test and boy oh boy it was terrible.My mom work’s at a College,and they been doing test,bad new’s,you are joke,America is waking up to Satan and.population control,I feel sorry for you,if it wasn’t for God,I be giving you the business !!!!
Are you fucking stupid? Go ahead and eat the corn. While you are at drink the Kool-Aid as well.
It is not childish behavior to want to know what one is feeding their child. GMOs should be labeled.
Mainstream media lost credibility with me years ago.
There is growing evidence that GMO foods present very real health risk and saying it doesn't is the same as saying there is no evidence of global warming, its just silly to say the least.
For me, it is also the other danger, the growing evidence that all food supplies will be in the hands of a small group of multinational companies.
The power to control the survival of billions through the control of food ( mainly seeds for now) is not something that I, for one want to see.
Do some research for yourself (for example Gmo seeds, ie, what are they, how do they work, who owns and controls them , how they are marketed, what do they cost, their affects on non Gmo plant life etc…) and then decide if you believe that this is remotely possible,
If you come to the conclusion that this possiblity exist, no matter how slight, that a company could patent food, go one step further and try to imagine what this may mean for you, your family, your community and your country should you fall foul of these multinationals.
I agree with Leo Kretzer. This is such an ill-informed article.. every item on the list points to "unknown future risks"…. GMO foods, in a statistically overwhelming amount of cases, have had no significant health risks. Further, they are the best hope for combating malnutrition, hunger as well as reintroducing agriculture in regions ravaged by pests, drought or disease.
Yes, there are issues with horizontal gene spread and the danger of pests/bacteria becoming resistant to pesticides. But the idea that genetic modification is unnatural and immediately bad for you is ludicrous. People talk about buying only organic bananas. Every single banana is a result of a human intervention and genetic modification. Humans have been involved in genetic modification for thousands of years- every known example of agriculture has involved genetic modification by restricting the growth of wild plants in farms/fields etc.
@ Jeet, yes, there have been forms of genetic modification, natural, and otherwise, for a long time. But, there has Never been anything as huge as this, (injecting pesticide chemicals into corn, for instance, to combat pests.) This is just one small example, but will serve to illustrate my point. The corn is now infused with pesticide, from the inside out….mmm, how could that possibly be a health risk?
Monsanto is, and was a Chemical co., producing pesticides (like round up), as it's main product….until they decided it would be a good way to control seeds, and the food supply….voila, poison food….yummmy. Of course, the billions in profits from this control gives them lots of power to buy off people and anything standing in their way. They did not expect people to stand up against them as they are….we are thinking of the future of our planet, and our children.
BTW, it is a lie that GMO crops perform better….the weeds and pests just become resistant, and More and More poison is needed to attempt control…poisoning the very soil for years to come….and, the GMO seeds contaminate all around them, for miles….as far as the wind will carry them. It is a veritable Pandora's box being unleashed on the world.
You can’t fix stupid @Jeet! YOU and Advocates for GMO’s are the problem with America’s food production!
For Christ sake jeet! wake up and do some deep inside research!
The corporations "Dupont, Monsanto, Kyron genetics, 3M, Blist fullson…
The list goes on and on! They are using cockroach dna to sustain the soy products!!!
Obviously your first time using a computer huh? Go to start page.com and type in copr.gmo.monsanto.com See what comes up… WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
Research hebrew-messiah and roman/greek christ! thruth is out there! WAKE UP CHRISTIANS, SATAN HAS DECIEVED US IN TO WORSHIPPING HIM, LIKE THE SCRIPTURE SAY WOULD HAPPEN.
Amen to that,I know if you are a Christian,and you love God with all ur heart,he open’s our eye’s to all the danger’s in the world,get out those KJB and know God’s word’s!!! I am gonna detox my body,keep ready my Bible,and just wait for Jesus.We must protect ourself from Satan.Tell all ur friend’s and family about the danger’s that have bee.i
Now religion is coming into play? Closed minded people..Bible said it would happen nonsense..that’s idiotic. Its happening because science took nature too far. Your “god” and religion is not the only one, and it sure as hell wasn’t the first. Don’t feel so mighty in your knowledge of a book that has been translated. And revised too many times to count.
Fact: GMO crops are actually much more susceptible to drought than conventional crops, despite the marketing claims.
If you want world-record-breaking crop yields, go organic: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_bihar-farmer…
And pests mostly feed on dying crops, part of nature's plan to break down the material for future growth. If you treat the soil right, it will be alive with beneficial bacteria and lots of worms, and pests will largely stay away. Dumping pesticides on the crops kills the life in the soil and invites the pests.
Let's not confuse hybrids with GMO's. A hybrid plant, left alone will revert back to original. GMO's are changed at the core.
Jeet, I guess you will jump off the proverbial cliff? Right, yeah. You are stupid as the guy you are agreeing with. You moron, the bad of this is everywhere. Ever heard of greed, well that produces evil and power hungry pontifs that will sacrifice your health over there money hoarding. I have been doing my DD for 40 years. You will not come close to knowing all that I have uncovered in those years, dear.
So get started and learn before you speak about something you know NOTHING of………
It is killing people and there is proof, but not visible, cause you have powerful people not willing to let you know what they know. They do not care one bit about your ARS, dear. GMO's are harmful to us, animals, environment, etc. and do not believe otherwise. If I had the time and space to type all of the proven harm it does, I would, but clearly I do not. TRUST ME….. It is not GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't think that prior to this issue anyone has crated sterile seeds or plants that create their own insecticides.
If there is anything that I have learned…it's due diligence.
In that vein, I would like to know – Who the following people work for?; Do they have any scientific credentials?; Where did they get their information?
Jeet Chatterjee
Leo Kretzner
Either answer the questions…or get off the pot! If you don't answer them you're most likely a toady for one or more of the chemical companies and/or the conservatives. Heck, you could be even if you do answer them!
PUT UP…OR SHUT UP!
It's the Obama leftist government who allow things like this and tell you vitamins are no good. We conservatives lead the charge against this crap. If the conservatives were in charge you liberals would not have destroyed our once great country and then use the media to blame Bush. God bless America and the hell with leftist liberals. Wake up Americans people like T.M. are the problem. The libs hate America and want us to be just like China.
Only conservatives like Reagan and our founding fathers can turn America in the opposite direction.
I would love to see you run our country you biased ignorant person. You can place blame on the president, but president doesn’t make all the rules. Learn how the government actually works.
Exactly, Warren. Couldn't have said it better. Monsanto and the other criminal chemical companies along with Big Pharma have all of Congress AND Obama in their back pockets. Conservatives (the word was derived from "conservation" by the way) are the only voices going up against Obama's dismantling of America. Eat organic, take your vitamins, get plenty of exercise, and detox regularly. And don't trust a word that comes out of the "government".
Yet, it is “Conservatives” who pass federal power laws in the dead of night, who give HUGE tax cuts, to COMPANIES LIKE MONSANTO, and let Big Oil and Big Tobacco run amok, yeah, I can see why you guys like them…the only way we are going to get rid of these foods is with a radical Dem in office. Do your research, guys. Payoffs work across party lines…I don’t want Obama’s head on a platter, I want the CEO of Monsanto’s.

I prefer to adhere to my own common sense and best judgement, so I don't "gasp" at anyone who is attempting to diminish the message that "GMO's are dangerous to your health and that there are no proven health risks, or that there's really nothing to be done about it, so just accept it."
Matter of fact, I view such statements with considerable suspicion, especially when they are delivered with a pseudo-authoritative slant. I've done MY homework and I KNOW the risks. So do all the countries that have forbidden these products entry into their ports. Except, the USA, of course… gee, I wonder why?
So whilst I support everyone's free speech, I am exercising the right to dissent, and vehemently, at that.
Thank you for providing a forum where that can take place.
Ditto ditto ditto ….We hate the "8"
Alex Jones has several segments on the topic of GMO crap food.
If one is not familiar with Alex Jones the site is infowars.com or prisonplanet.com or cgnlive.com.
Very informative and as well, the pictures of the animals in Europe they did tests on, feeding them GMO's. It will make you Puke!
The cancers, deformities, intestinal dissolving, brain, heart and soft tissue tumors! Yeah, GMO is surely safe….right???? Wake up America or we are going to loose! Evil is abounding!!!!
there are better sites than Alex Jones! Much better.
Well done someone’s had the dictionary out! I think we’re going to stick to the scientist advice as you doing your homework hasnt helped anyone In The least besides make people confused as your use of words are not in the correct contex. Also to add to that insects can not live on gm foods so what chance have we got you moron
We are not victims! We have the power! Tomorrow… I'm starting a site where the people will label the foods themselves.
I will create GMO Labels and you can download and print and go to the store and start labeling the foods… fuck the government!
Power to the people …who love each other , their families and don't commit suicide unintentionally so that fat cats can count money…makes me sick…
LMAO!! YES!! It is time for the people to take back the power! These govt. pricks are way out of control! Who do they think they are and do they even realize we are the voters whom put them in to represent "OUR" interests not their own!!AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what is so bad is o has made it a point that NO GMO be served in the WH
I would like a list of your GMO labels to take to
the grocery store for me. I will soon be seventy yrs.
old, I don't know much about the computer but I would
love your list.
Thanks.
Judy
Judy, see http://labelityourself.org
I had the same great idea! But there is already a site for that: http://labelityourself.org
What’s this site?
The Label It Yourself (#LIY) campaign empowers people to make educated decisions about what is in their food, without waiting for government or corporations to do it for them.
God bless you more power to you
What about WHEAT in the top ten? Shouldn`t it be #!??? GOOD GRIEF!
Your Rock, DO IT! Thanks
I am proud of my country they have a 10 years banned genetically modified foods; but my problem is that I don't live there anymore; I live in Miami; Florida
What country???
Thanks for a touch of humor in this heated conversation. I live in Miami too and can attest to the fact that it is NOT part of the USA. As an aside, I just saw my cardiologist who enjoys a fine reputation and she put me on a gluten-free diet as wheat is one of the worst GMO offenders. She has found that CRPs in her patients dropped after being gluten-free after only 3 months. Seems that GMOs, in her learned opinion, contribute greatly to the inflammatory processes in our bodies…..ie. cardiovascular and joints in particular. I'm taking her advice.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, shay, but GMO wheat is vuirtually non-existent. So what ever may be causing your gluten issues, it's certainly not GMO wheat.

^^^ gmo turkey lol
Dont forget all the gmo corn foods that are fed to all the factory farm animals, doesnt that make them gmo whether they get the BGH or not? Plain and simple, I do not wish for myself, nor my family, to be MONSANTOS lab rats!
corn food is good your digestion and easily digest .. corn have low calories and it's a very halthy food…..
Corn is not good on the digestive system.
Hhm my dog and cats Can’t digest corn, Which is the first ingredient listed on some of the dry pet foods. The manufacturers are using the corn as a filler.
Corn is a starch..it doesn’t digest like you think.
We have to eat grass feed meat. Eat organic fruits and vegetables, or grown from non-gmo seeds. Filter our water. Use organic household products. Take natural supplements without additives. Exercise daily. Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. Whew, I am overwhelmed …guess I'll go to bed. : )
man you're so right!!!!
Excellent share! I think we should do the best we can. And be aware. Organic meats are also important.
I think you forgot to add bananas… but it's important to note that if bananas weren't genetically modified, they wouldn't be edible in any way. The grand majority of citrus fruits are also modified, according to a university researcher whose job concerns creating healthier, more appealing fruit. You guys really don't like Monsanto it seems. I think someone is a little biased.
I think you should search up the scientist who discovered gm foods and as a result were fired, blacklisted and threatened to be asassasinated. I think these people have but more knowledge than you. Also may I add if gm foods were a healthy way why is it not labeled? Wouldn’t they want to promote gmfoods?
Maybe you're confusing breeding by controlled pollenization vs. gene splicing. We are talking Genetically Modified Organisms – which is a laboratory vs. field production. I see organic bananas on the market all the time, and by virtue of being the definition of organic it can't be a gene spliced food (GMO). The problem with the GMO they are being developed to withstand high pesticide useage which is killing our environment.
You truly are naive! Here in Calif, the Labeling of GMO foods was struck down, only after Monsatan infused the ‘democratic process’ with millions of dollars and deceptive ad campaigns. The ‘scientists’ whom endorsed the ‘no on 37’ prop, where bought and paid for. Do your homework before sprouting off on biases please. In America, we can no longer blindly follow what the media sells us. It’s all propoganda to help this oligarchy maintain profits at the consumers expense.
Why is it when an oppositeawesome opinion is posted along with facts to back them up it is considered bias?
Emily….I think you are getting a wee bit mixed up with trait selection techniques which farmers have practiced for thousands of years OUTSIDE of the laboratory and without the aid of a GENE GUN to insert unrelated DNA crossing the species barriers. Not surprising as the GM Industry has deliberately used the terminology 'genetically modified' instead of 'genetically engineered' as it sounds less benign…and I guess from you comment it seems to have worked.
Non GM bananas not edible!? I spent years on a small South Pacific island with nary a GM banana in sight. They were by far the sweetest and best flavored bananas and we grew the plants in our own backyard! BTW, for those who may not know, banana plants reproduce from suckers which are transplanted to create a new plant, a new banana stalk, new suckers and so on. No seeds!
I’m trying to raise two healthy twin boys over here in the USA and I’m am frightened and scared by the legal strength this country has to destroy our children’s future. This country allows too many health risks. From passing laws to fource families and public schools to vaccinate with no rights and no fight if any damage accurs from that. If you do your home work before vaccinating you will become a buyer and you will beware of the junk and cancers found in these vaccines. But this country took away our rights of BUYER BEWARE. My heart crys every time I step into a major grocery store and see a rainbow of GMO FIRUT! It is so dangerious to price shop in the US because all the GMO foods are in the low price point items… Then… You go for the “organic” over priced items and learn those are GMO!!! It takes me two hours to shop at a local major chain grocery store when I’m alone and it takes me 4 hours to shop when the twins are with me. My biggest wish as an American… Born and unhealthy raised that GMO be banned or if the Lawyers/ Lawmakers keep minpulating the system then my wish and dreams as a free American is that GMO labels fill the isles and shelves so I can take my hard working HIGH tax paying money to the items that will help me raise 2 strong healthy MEN so I may have a better jean future not a mutated jean future of CANCERS, DEPRESSION, MURDER SUICIDES AND POOR EDUCTION IN A HECILY VACCINATED PUBLIC SCHOOL.
I think you mean GENE. Jeans are meant for wearing.
yes its a shame but the truth is that the cabal don't need 300 million americans they want control and if they can eliminate all but 20 million they can control them from the cradle to the grave. so what is instore for us? lawyers doctors, all public and priivate are to bleed you dry financially before you die… facts are all there just do the research.
you must take control of your life with natural health remedies. its there for your use do the research.
You guys aren’t going to have much longer to worry about this. Stock up on foods with long shelf lives, because you will need it. The US government has pushed the dollar too far, and there is no way to circumvent the coming crises. Its going to be Hurricane Katrina, the Rodney King Riots, and the Civil War, all rolled into one, and in every city, and every home.
I believe that God knows more than any scientist. Food should be what God created for the purpose of feeding people and animals. Chemicals, pesticides and weed killersare not made for human or animal consumption. The human body was not made to process these chemicals.
Amen well

Definitely GMO foods too useful and super-duper article. this similar foods you will get our site. so you can check out our best soy sauce.
Wheat REALLY needs to be mentioned here as a GMO food. The VAST majority of the world's wheat crop has been genetically modified to increase yielde per acre – they call this "dwarf wheat", and is an entirely different type of wheat than what our ancestors used to eat. Please (I'm begging you), read "Wheat Belly", and pass on everything you learn. Modern "wheat" is as dangerous, if not moreso, than corn or soy. It's, I'm absolutely convinced, what is making people sick and fat worldwide – we can solve this problem, but the word must get out.
Knowledge, is the best combatant for gmo. investigate the issue for yourself. search it out and beleive me, its not as easy as that. alot of road blocks. Knowledge is your best friend in this case, then you decide for your self.
The irony, as I see it, is that, often, the weeds that agriculture wants to kill are healthier for us than the crop that’s grown. The solution then? Eat the weeds. I think nature has a loud voice.
Exercising will help improve your social life. This something that we all want to strive for, because, not only will it help you feel good about yourself, but it will also help improve your sex life and help strengthen you marriage relationship.
Is there any types of these items that are safe? Heirloom seed corn? Cane sugar?
Natural cane sugar. Stay away from Splenda, or other “lighter” sweeteners. Namely high fructose corn syrup, and aspartame.
I think Nature will fight back…..Karma…..See I read the other day that a group of women in Nairobi developed natural immunity to HIV virus….which is presumed in our circles to be genetically modified…..I have something to tell those obtuse, impervious people…..The island killed Dr. Moro at the end…………….Wake up
Well read this link I don't think there are any lies about the crops here http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2013/01/23/regul…
Also sugar and high fructose corn syrup ARE carcinogens!!!
Here is another site that will tell you about it and it is not bogus in any way, there is a lot of info but its worth the read!!! The ones that want to keep eating crap be my guest!!!
http://bestmeal.info/monsanto/company-history.sht…
Natural sugar, from pure, organic sugarcane, isn’t a carcinogen. Now, aspartame, almost everything in Splenda, and, yes of course, high fructose corn syrup, are carcinogens. In moderate doses, natural sugar is perfectly healthy, and your body will process all of it, as long as you’re active.
“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.”
We can ignore GMO and it's foul bedpartner glyphosate at our peril, and with the added help of fluoride, aspartame and outrageous quantities of unbound glutamic acid, morph ourselves into the medically helpless idiots the system is banking so heavilly on – or we can try eating organic for a week, and learn some sense of what our bodies expect from us.
You might be shocked to learn the difference.
Eating right for your blood type can also be very helpful, especially now that we're in "allergy" season. My "allergies" were no longer a factor, once I tried the blood-type diet. I can follow it to whatever extent I feel is necessary, without giving up my favorite avoids, such as potatoes, so long as I get my beneficals, such as grass-fed beef. (I'm a type O)
BTW, potatoes were not mentioned on the list of dangerous GMOs, and surely they should be.
Raw, organic, unrefined;
For your blood type, well combined!
I was just wondering, is it possible to grow enough organic food to sustain life on the planet? Where I shop, organic foods are twice the price of non organic and that can be tough on the pocketbook. It seems that given enough time, some researcher will find that every and any food causes some kind of disease. Don't forget that there are toxins in the air and water that organic foods are grown in as well. I'm not sure its possible to grow completely pure organic food anymore. Perhaps we need to return to growing our own food by planting a garden in the backyard. That may be the best way to know what goes into your food….
Organic food costs more because non-organic foods are subsidized by the US GOVERNMENT.
they only way to grow truely organic food is in a greenhouse (as ironic as that is). You still have to purify your water/air/soil. Due to chemtrails, flouride/pharma/pesticide in the water, air and soil the only safe environment to produce food is in a controlled artificial environment.
It's not so much that they are genetically modified,yes seeds have been modified for years, but they are modified to resist being sprayed the heck with Roundup and then we eat soy and corn that has been drenched with Roundup. The BT corn is even worse as it contains a pesticide that kills the insects by ingesting it. So we are eating corn that contains pesticide that injures bugs via the gut. What is that doing to our gut? Now we find that Kraft Mac/cheese has been using GMwheat which has been predicted to mess up our enzymes and cause liver failure especially in young children. We know this because the UK is slapping a GMO label on Kraft Mac/cheese imported from the US that says it contains GMwheat and there is a warning that it can cause activity and attention disorders (autism/learning disabilities/ADHD) in children. What other foods are they sneaking GM wheat into?
Thanks for these valueable tips – I always try to avoid such foods, so this list is very useful.
