If Animals Won't Eat Genetically Modified Corn, Why Do We?

April 29, 2011

This article will rock your dinner plate. For all of the Big Ag assurances that genetically modified crops are safe to eat, the pigs and squirrels are here to tell us something different. A farmer offered visually identical GM corn and natural corn to pigs and squirrels, and they wouldn't touch it. Anyone else wonder what they sense that we can't?

Worse yet, studies confirm that lab rats and other animals who are forced to eat genetically-modified foods have problems including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation, and changes to major organs. Sounds pretty bad.

The American Academy of Environmental medicine, which wrote the paper detailing the health risks to lab animals fed GM foods, made this startling statement, "There is more than a causal association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation."

They also note there is a particular risk to pregnant women and babies.

Here are the 8 genetically modified food crops to look out for

  1. Soy
  2. Corn
  3. Cotton
  4. Canola
  5. Sugar Beets
  6. Hawaiian Papaya
  7. Some Zucchini
  8. Some Yellow Squash
