Most Conventional Crops Are Now Genetically Engineered

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are crops produced via genetic engineering. The genetic makeup of these “specialized crops” has been altered to induce a variety of uniquetraits, such as making them “drought- or pest -resistant,” or fortifying them with “more nutrients.” 

Today, up to 85 percent of U.S. corn, 88 percent of cotton,  and 91 percent of soybeans are genetically modified. It is  also estimated that at least 80 percent of processed foods now contain genetically engineered ingredients. Genetic engineering has been deemed safe and beneficial by GE  proponents, mainly by biotech companies like Monsanto.

Sadly, nothing can be further from the truth.   

Not only is genetic engineering a power -hungry technology that severely harms the environment, but it also has potentially damaging effects on your wellbeing. For example, in one review of GMOs, which consists of an analysis of 19 animal studies, nearly 10 percent of

Sadly, food regulators such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) do not conduct any test on the safety of GMOs on human health. But the truth cannot be denied: the potentially damaging health effects of GMOs are now starting to become evident.

 So when shopping for any of the healthy foods, make sure that you choose  those varieties that are not, in any way, genetically modified.
