WHY IS IT HARD TO STUDY GMO IN THE UNITED STATES

44,000 pages of internal memos from the FDA show its own scientists agreed that GMOs could create unpredictable, unsafe, and hard-to-detect allergens, toxins, diseases, and nutritional problems.

And several studies have shown that genetically modified food is triggering that response.

For example, Dr. P. M. Bhargava, one of the world's top biologists, has reviewed 600 scientific journals. He concluded that GM foods in the US are largely responsible for the increase in many serious diseases.

Dr. Robin Bernhoft, a Harvard-trained doctor and director of the Bernhoft Center for Advanced Medicine in Ojai, California, has found that patient health improves when GM foods are removed from their diet.

Dr. Miguel Gonzalez, a physician in California, believes that “genetically modified foods are causing inflammation of the bowel.”

And research from the American Academy of Environmental Medicine states that“several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food consumption including infertility, immune dysfunction, accelerated aging, dysfunction of cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleenand gastrointestinal system.”

• Did you Know You Could Get Cancer… Just from Drinking Milk?

• For the past 20 years, much of the nation’s milk has come from cows injected with a genetically engineered growth hormone known as rBST.

• Farmers inject rBST into cows every two weeks to increase hormonal activity, boosting milk production by as much as 25%.

• There’s only one big problem: this hormone has been linked to various types of cancer.

• That probably explains why all 27 countries of the European Union, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada have all banned its use in milk destined for human consumption.

• Sadly, the U.S. is the only developed nation that allows rBST.

rBST in our Milk

• A study done by Susan Hackinson, ScD, of Harvard Medical School, has showed that this hormone increases the risk of developing breast cancer seven-fold in women under 50… and that it increases a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer nine-fold.

• Dairies that use this dangerous hormone don’t even have to disclose that information to consumers.

• In 1994“The FDA has determined no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST and non rBST treated cows”

Glyphosate (Roundup) Herbicide• In 1974, a new herbicide called Roundup was

released into the marketplace. [1] It promised to be a miracle weed killer that would do its job without harming human health.

• In 1977, a sugar tariff was established, which dramatically raised the cost of white table sugar. This tax on imported sugar propelled high fructose corn syrup into widespread use in processed foods. [2]

• The third event that took place that same year was the adoption of dietary guidelines by the U.S. government. This completely changed longstanding traditional thinking about food and nutrition. [3]

FDA GUIDELINES

• The new dietary guidelines instructed Americans to abandon the traditional balanced diet that contained butter and animal fat, meat and eggs, full fat dairy products, grains, vegetables, and fruits; and to replace this with a new low-fat high-carbohydrate diet.

• Overnight, animal fat, meat, eggs, and butter became dietary archenemies. We were now encouraged to gorge ourselves on bread, pasta, beans, skim milk and low-fat dairy, and to avoid butter, eggs, and all forms of animal fat, and to exercise more
