9. GMOs

-

The United States Environmen­tal Protection Agency (EPA) states that chlorine gas is a dangerous irritant that is not safe to inhale and in large quantities can be lethal. White flour lurks in many processed foods. White processed flour has a very high glycaemic rate that quickly raises the blood sugar level and insulin levels, and this can be a direct cause of diabetes, not to mention the premise that it spreads cancer cells by feeding the cells directly.

Geneticall­y modified organisms, more commonly called GMOs, are foods that have been modified by chemicals and grown with chemicals.

In a study done by Dr Pusztai at the Rowett Institute in Scotland, rats were fed GMO foods, especially potatoes. All rats showed damaged immune systems, pre-cancerous cell growths, along with smaller brains and livers, in just the first 10 days of the project.

The FDA has NO testing procedures for GMO foods. None. The only human study ever published showed that those foreign genes that were present in GM food transferre­d to the DNA in the bacteria in our digestive systems.

GMOs do not have to be listed on food labels, so read carefully and look for labels that state that the food is GMO-free.
