GMO's

Genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMOs are the constituents of genetically modified foods.

A genetically modified food is a plant or meat product that has had its DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, in order to produce foreign compounds in that food. This type of genetic alteration is not found in nature, and is experimental.

The health risks of genetically engineered foods are unclear. Recent studies show that genetically engineering food can create new, unintended toxic substances and increase allergies, cancer risks, and other health problems for humans, animals and the environment.

 

The top 10 Worst GMO foods

·         Corn

·         Soy

·         Sugar

·         Aspartame

·         Papayas

·         Cotton

·         Dairy

·         Zucchini and Yellow Squash

The best way to avoid food that contains these organisms is to buy produce that is certified USDA-organic, those are supposed to be non-GMO. Although currently there are no animals that have been genetically altered, they feed on the genetically modified organisms.
