Genetically Modified Foods: Are They Safe?
Currently in the US, it is estimated that 70% of processed foods on our grocery store shelves contain genetically modified ingredients. Are these genetically modified food safe? I’ve done some research, and this is what I’ve found! READ MORE.
The Health Effects of Genetically Modified Coffee
This year coffee consumption in the United States has jumped ahead of soft drink consumption by more than 10%. The United States imports 35% of the world coffee bean supply to keep up with our consumption of over 400 million cups of coffee per day OR 4500 cups of coffee per second. The increasing popularity of coffee shows no sign of stopping; in 2010 56% of Americans consumed coffee, now in 2012 64% of Americans enjoy the beverage. How healthy is it to consume that much coffee? How are coffee bean farmers keeping up to our demand? READ MORE.
Documentary: Genetic Roulette
![]()
The Institute for Responsible Technology recently released a new documentary, “Genetic Roulette”. This documentary is available to watch FREE online for the month of October!
“When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.
After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.
This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.” |
