GMOs-you can’t ignore them any longer
Hi John
One hot topic that seems to keep popping up whenever I speak to groups of
people is
GMOs.
Many people are
still completely in the dark about what they
really
are, how they can be spotted in the
grocery store and what the true
dangers
surrounding them are.
This is especially frightening because GMOs represent a new frontier in our
adulteration of the foods that Nature has provided to us for centuries…and the
health consequences that remain to be seen may be positively
devastating.
Here's what you might not know, but must know about GMOs.
Genetically Modified
Organisms (GMOs)
Nature has a history of creating different variations of plants through a
type of
cross-breeding, typically with insects or the wind moving pollen
from one plant to another.
This has been going on since the dawn of time and what results many times is
a "new and improved" species of plant that may be more sturdy or
nutritious than its "ancestors."
But the problems started to rise when scientists decided they wanted to play
Mother Nature.
Because they're not conducting experiments in a lab sprinkling pollen from
plant to plant, waiting to see if the offspring have any advantages over the
original plants.
Instead they’re altering the
genetic code (DNA) of plants by cutting
off bits of a living organism's DNA and splicing them into a
completely
unrelated species.
This is what's called a
GMO--or genetically modified organism.
So what's the big deal?
The real danger with GMOs is that scientists are NOT splicing
plant
DNA to
plant DNA.
Instead they're splicing things like
chicken genes into potato DNA or
fish genes into strawberry DNA.
So for all of you who are allergic to seafood, think about that next time
you eat strawberries.
In addition,
rodent genes have been inserted into tobacco.
But it doesn't stop
there.
Bacteria and viruses are being spliced into cucumbers and tomatoes.
Talk about a whole new meaning of food poisoning!
And
chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides (especially
Monsanto’s
RoundUp) are being inserted into various plants.
Nothing like a little weed killer with your salad.
Now, the idea behind all this DNA play is to create "
super crops"
that resist pests, droughts, disease and other crop-destroying forces.
But what has resulted is a series of "aliens"--entirely new and
foreign life forms that we know
NOTHING about.
That includes knowing basically ZERO about their safety--because very few
studies have been done thus far that prove they are not harmful.
And they're not being monitored either.
Neither the FDA nor the US Department of Agriculture requires the biotech
companies to prove that GMO foods are safe for human consumption before new
modified crops are put on the market.
As a matter of fact, studies are starting to suggest otherwise...
GMO = Growing massively
obese?
As part of a project examining the health effects of GMOs, researchers from
Norway studied 2 groups of rats. One group was fed food containing GMO
corn and the other was given food made with conventional corn.
Over the course of 90 days, the rats eating the GMO corn diet grew
fatter
and consumed
more food than the rats on the non-GMO diet.
The researchers also observed that rats got fatter when they ate fish that
had been raised on GMO corn--so there's a
chain reaction effect.
They also tried the experiment on salmon and saw similar results.
Fish eating GMO corn grew faster and ate more than fish eating non-GMO corn.
And the salmon eating the GMO corn were also less able to digest proteins,
and experienced immune system changes that didn't occur in the non-GMO-fed
fish.
If that doesn't concern you, I don't know what will.
But all the danger will just
pass through me, right?
A common argument used by biotech companies when contending the safety of
GMO foods has been that any "funky new genes" created with GMO foods
are destroyed in the intestines when you eat them.
And they'll glide on through when you have your next BM, right?
Uh, not quite.
Because in the studies above, the researchers also noted ALL the genes from
the GMO food that the rats and salmon ate were later detected in their BLOOD!
Plus GMOs are creating new,
foreign proteins that your body has never
seen before and may very likely be unable to metabolize. This may
potentially cause a significant rise in food allergies and sensitivities, among
other things.
Don't be a gerbil
The bottom line here, my friend, is don't be a gerbil.
If you eat GMO foods, you are a
human guinea pig, period.
And even if the health effects of GMOs start to make themselves more and
more known, food and biotech companies are VERY rich...and very good at
creating evidence to hide the truth and defend themselves.
The best way to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones is to avoid
them at ALL cost.
This may seem daunting, but it can easily be done.
Here's how--it just involves 4 steps:
1) Become a careful
label reader
There's no need to panic and avoid buying produce and missing out on all its
awesome health benefits.
All you need to do is when shopping for produce look closely at the little
stickers on the items. Here's what they mean:
- 4-digit code: It’s your regular old traditionally grown
(non-GMO) produce
- 5-digit code: Look at the first number.
- If it starts with a 9,
it's organic and safe.
- If it starts with an 8,
it's a GMO!
2) Avoid processed foods
GMO crops are also slipped into in packaged/processed foods, and the labels
don't
need to spell that right out for you.
For example, many types of snack chips are made with GMO corn.
So the more you avoid buying processed or packaged stuff to begin with, the
better off you are.
But if you wish to indulge in a snack or convenience food, make sure it's
organic (see number 3 below).
3) Buy organic whenever
you can
Organic foods by their very definition
do not contain GMO ingredients.
So if you want corn chips or other packaged foods, at least opt for organic
brands.
And try to buy as much organic meat and produce as
possible.
If you're on a tight budget and can't afford to go 100% organic, here are
the produce items which have the largest amounts of pesticide residue and are
most important to buy organic:
- Celery
- Peaches
-
Strawberries
- Apples
-
Blueberries
-
Nectarines
- Bell
Peppers
- Spinach
- Cherries
-
Kale/Collard
- Greens
- Potatoes
- Grapes
(Imported)
4) Eat real foods &
have good digestion
When you eat
real foods and have efficient digestion, you are
significantly minimizing your chances of taking in GMOs, and you also help
nourish your body the way Nature--
NOT the biotech industry--intended.
Not only will this help regular BMs become YOUR morning glory, but you'll be
less likely to overeat and gain weight (unlike the unlucky rats and fish in the
studies above).
And of course, good digestion can mean less acid reflux, gas and bloating
too!
All you need to do is follow a reliable program that will show you how to
structure healthy, easier to digest meals and guide you on making REAL foods
that are positively scrumptious.
And that, my friend, is what
Great Taste No
Pain
-
http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
and
Great
Taste No Gluten

http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
will do for you.
Both programs show you what foods you should eat together for better
digestion that will help leave you feeling great and loaded with energy.
Eating this way will also help counteract the harmful effects of a not-so-great
diet that you may have had in the past.
And the recipe books in each system are both loaded with delicious dishes
featuring REAL foods that will nourish your body and make your taste buds
dance.
It’s all you, baby
Remember
YOU alone are responsible for your health--
not biotech
companies and food companies.
Don't offer yourself up as a guinea pig, jeopardizing your health while you
help to grow their bottom lines.
When it comes to real health, Natural is ALWAYS best, my friend.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Always be
sure to let your doctor or healthcare provider know what supplements you are
taking.
PPS: Processed foods, pesticides and herbicides are not only
harmful to you, but also to your intestinal flora. And since this is
where 70% of your immune system is located, having imbalanced gut flora is
putting out the welcome mat for a whole slew of bugs, viruses, infections and
even diseases. But daily supplementation with Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula can help turn that around for you.

Crohn’s!
Sherry:
I am sooooo excited about the information I have
learned from your Great Taste No Pain plan that I am recruiting as many people
as possible to try your program. I don't like calling it a program; it is just
learning the correct way to combine foods that we like to eat.
Having had ups and downs with Crohn's for over
20 years, this is the first time I have been able to eat certain foods and not
get sick (gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation, you name it).
I have been saying that we Americans are so sick
because of what we eat, which was true, but I see now it is more of how we
combine the foods that we eat.
I love your plan and have passed it around. Now
I am working on them each buying their own copy of your plan. I search the
internet quite frequently, looking for answers to dealing with Crohn's, but
this time God opened my eyes to see your website because I believe he was tired
of me "belly aching" about how I was feeling. (smiles)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a new
advocate of the Great Taste No Pain way of eating and surviving after eating.
Love it, love it, love it.
