Genetically Modified foods are foods that have been altered at the DNA level by inserting specific genes or “turning on or off” certain expressions of DNA and genes. Hence the term GENETICALLY modified. I am not talking about hybridization or cross breeding, that has been done since the beginning of time. But what has been occurring in the last 50 years is scientists are modifying the genetic structure of the DNA of plants and animals. One of the problems is that in the process of this modification they admit they do not know all the consequences of their DNA tinkering. Other things can be expressed they did not anticipate or have any idea would occur. Independent scientists who do REAL studies are proving they are causing birth defects and multitudes of increased diseases and cancers and 100% infertility in just three generations. Farmers are reporting livestock are having spontaneous abortions and birth defects and infertility issues affecting their livelihood and the health of their stock.
The GMO is causing destruction of the soil because it not only is modified to kill pests affecting the crop, it also kills the beneficial bugs and microbes in the soil and is turning land to barren land and generating super weeds and super crop viruses and molds. There have been thousands of suicides by cotton growers in India whose GMO cotton has far underperformed the cotton they used to grow and they cannot repay the debt to Monsanto as a result and they go bankrupt. Livestock that is allowed to go eat the stalks of GMO cotton are actually dying from it.
Glyphosate is the main ingredient of Roundup used on GMO crops. Roundup is of course owned by Monsanto. It alone is destructive and the GMO plants are modified to accept 10 times MORE of it than non-GMO plants.

GMO is the most destructive thing we have allowed into our food supply and environment. It isn’t just an “oh well nothing we can do, it’s the future” ho hum issue. This is serious and we are sleeping our way to destruction as a society by not staying informed and fighting this destructive practice.
Monsanto is actively buying all the seed companies so no one can buy seed except from them and they patent them so you can’t regrow from seed from your own plants as farmers have been doing since the beginning of time. They are also suing nearby farmers whose crops get cross contaminated by their GMO seed for patent infringement and putting them out of business.

Bt corn is modified to make its own pesticide as part of the corn. So when people and livestock eat it they have proven it continues to manufacture the pesticide in our bodies and this pesticide is being found in the blood of fetuses still in the womb! This is the reason I will not eat meat from cows that eat grain. Once this toxic poison is in their body it goes in the meat and it does not leave no matter if they go back to grass or not. It doesn’t matter. People who want grass-fed meats want them to be ONLY grass fed for this reason. I have people all the time ask me specifically “Were they EVER fed corn or soy?” It is a very important issue to those who want to avoid these toxic poisons. Ranchers that sell their meat as “grass-fed” meat when it has been on grains at some point are being deceptive to the consumers who want grass-fed ONLY.

“Set to be published in the peer-reviewed journal Reproductive Toxicology the new study shreds the false notion that Bt is broken down by the digestive system, and instead shows that the toxin definitively persists in the bloodstream.”

Corn plants genetically modified (GM) to produce pesticides in their tissues are contaminating water supplies across the US Midwest, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
"Manipulating genetic material changes the expression of proteins and antigens in foods, a situation that could lead to allergic reactions. ... Another concern is that some GM foods, such as GM corn, are being manipulated to resist synthetic pesticides. As a result, more of the pesticide is being used and humans' exposure to toxic pesticides is actually increasing while insects develop resistance to the pesticides' toxic effects."

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has warned that the public should avoid genetically modified (GM) foods, stating, "There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation."
A large number of studies and incidents have implicated GM foods in a wide variety of health problems, including accelerated aging, immune dysfunction, insulin disorders, organ damage and reproductive disruption.
For example, female rats fed a diet of GM soy experienced a drastically higher infant death rate, and their surviving infants were smaller and less fertile than the offspring of rats fed on a non-GM soy diet. Male rats fed the GM soy had their testicles change from pink to blue, and the GM soy was also observed to damage the DNA of sperm and embryos. Fertility problems such as abortion, infertility, premature delivery, prolapsed uteri, infant death, and even delivery of unformed infants (bags of water) have been observed in farm animals fed GM cottonseed and corn.

Huber, in other words, is not just some ranting civilian. He's someone who has worked around pathogens for many decades and whose warnings about pathogenic threats must be taken seriously. In his letter, Huber warns about a new pathogen, unknown to science, "...that appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings. Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in much higher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and corn -- suggesting a link with the RR gene or more likely the presence of Roundup."
This pathogen appears to be link to widespread spontaneous abortions among cattle. As Huber explains, "450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers ...experienced spontaneous abortions."
That's a spontaneous abortion rate of 45 percent!
GMO and Roundup go hand in hand and is causing the destruction of farming land over time. It is in more recent years that the increase of GMO crops and the increased use of Roundup has begun to reveal the destructiveness to the land. Because it is becoming more wide spread now we are seeing the effects more clearly than in the past.
This is the best and most complete article about the plant and land destruction being cause by glyphosate. Check out the pictures.

I watched a video called “Seeds of Destruction” that went into detail about the science and how much the GMO producers know and won’t tell us, and just how much they DON’T know and won’t test to find out about what the Genetic Modification is actually doing to the DNA of the plants and to people and animals as well. It isn’t pretty. This is why I am so careful to avoid ALL GMO. I refuse to be a lab rat for the GMO industry. I am not an experiment and will not allow my body to be used for any GMO experimentation. I am in horror of the way I ate and fed my children when I did not know about these things. I have one child with fertility issues and feel responsible, not guilty since I was uninformed, but definitely responsible. Hopefully my grandchildren will be fed more healthily!
Here is a page full of articles about the destruction GMOs are causing to farming land and human and animal health. There is just so much here of which to be concerned. Please educate yourselves.
