Exposed secret to your food, what you need to know about genetically modified foods and how to avoid them!
Genetically modified foods
Genetically modified foods are created to either tolerate herbicides or become insect killers themselves. Right now, the main Genetically modified foods crops are soy (91%), corn (85%), canola (85%), cottonseed, and sugar beets. A recent study of hamsters fed Genetically modified foods like soy beans, showed that by the third generation most of them had become infertile or sterile, died at 5x the rate of the control group, and were slower to reach sexual maturity. In testing of farm animals, they demonstrated a marked preference for non-Genetically modified foods- feed, and would avoid eating the GM feed (Genetically modified foods).
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are the result of laboratory processes which artificially insert foreign genes into the DNA of food crops or animals. Those genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Although banned by food manufacturers in Europe and elsewhere, the FDA does not require any safety evaluations. Most Americans say they would not eat GMOs if labeled, but the U.S. does not require labeling. GMOs are not safe, but have been in the food supply since 1996 and are now present in the vast majority of processed foods in the US.

Soy, corn, cottonseed, sugar beets is easy to eliminate. Canola oil can be and must be replaced by coconut oil or other oils. With coconut oil you can replace the cooking oil and cosmetics. Buy coconut oil:
Summary of Genetically modified foods (crops, foods and food ingredients) which have been genetically modified as of May, 2010:
Currently Commercialized genetically modified crops (Genetically modified foods) in the U.S.:
(Number in parentheses represents the estimated percentage that is genetically modified.)
Soy(91%)
Cotton(71%)
Canola(88%)
Corn(85%)
Sugar Beets(90%)
Hawaiian papaya(more than 50%)
Alfalfa (at Supreme Court),
Zucchini and Yellow Squash(small amount)
Tobacco(Quest® brand)
Other Sources of GMOs:
• Dairy products from cows injected with the GM hormone rbGH
• Food additives, enzymes, flavorings, and processing agents, including the sweetener aspartame
(NutraSweet®) and rennet used to make hard cheeses
• Meat, eggs, and dairy products from animals that have eaten GM feed
• Honey and bee pollen that may have GM sources of pollen
• Contamination or pollination caused by GM seeds or pollen
Some of the Ingredients That May Be Genetically Modified: Vegetable oil, vegetable fat and margarines (made with soy, corn, cottonseed, and/or canola)
Ingredients derived from soybeans: Soy flour, soy protein, soy isolates, soy isoflavones, soy lecithin, vegetable proteins, textured vegetable protein (TVP), tofu, tamari, tempeh, and soy protein supplements.
Ingredients derived from corn: Corn flour, corn gluten, corn masa, corn starch, corn syrup, cornmeal, and High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).

You can start eating healthy consciously by just changing one thing at time…
- Start reading labels
- buying organic from certified organic vendors
- cooking with coconut oil ( where to buy coconut oil ? click here)
- take this list with you
