Where Are Pesticides Made? Perhaps Inside Your Belly
Modified genes in our food supply may be modifying us, says Jeffrey M. Smith.
By Leah Zerbe
Topics: Genetically Modified Food
Buy certified organic or GMO-free labeled food products; know the GM ingredients likely to be in foods—and stay away from them!
WHAT IT MEANS: Since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t require safety testing of these foods (the FDA takes the word of the biotech companies on that), you’ll have to do a little detective work if you want to lower your exposure to GMOs. Fortunately, there are alternatives.
Here’s how to clear your cart of GM foods:
• Know the big 4. Food makers are not required to indicate GMO content on their labels. Corn, soy, canola, and cotton are the most prominent GM crops; that doesn’t mean all these crops are genetically altered, but many are. If you favor cane sugar over other types, you’ll avoid GM sugar beets, Smith says. In much smaller numbers, zucchini, yellow crookneck squash, and sweet corn could be GM; about half of Hawaiian papayas are GM.

Seeds of deception was informative and brillant
Mr Smith doesn't understate the dangers.
In 2002 the insecticidle bt corn starlink ,was being withdrawn for its approved use as hog feed due to its toxic effects.This was just when mysterously delayed testing revealed that it had spread through out the corn supply via pollen drift.
Those who deny toxic effects in humans are butt ignorant A holes and whores-in my personal experince.
Moreover as any one with any background in medical testing and research knows-THE FIRST ANIMAL MODEL USED TO TEST HUMAN PHYSOLOGICAL RESPONSES ARE PIGS,NOT monkeys.
If its too toxic for pigs,its too toxic for us.no wiggle room.
And this doesn't even factor the unstable unmarked variants(at least 2) that accidently escaped-and doen't show up on the laughabley worse than useless offical 'detection' tests.
This would not happen if visak,the changeling-and all the other little 'useful'idiots round the world were personally liable for the damages-with any and all assets no matter were or how earned or banked.
