Dr. Mercola has been on a roll lately, so I included another synopsis from his site. I really appreciate all the money he gave to the California campaign to label GMO foods. This proposition lost due to the large amount funding going into commericals that Monsanto was pumping out before the vote-- including commercials that intentionally tried to discredit Mercola. Here is the blurb from
www.Mercola.com that reviews a documentary :
The documentary film "David versus Monsanto” details the groundbreaking victory of a lone farmer against one of the most powerful companies on the planet
The world’s first lifetime feeding study discovered that rats fed a diet containing 11 percent GE corn developed massive breast tumors, kidney and liver damage and other serious health problems in the 13th month of life.
To put this into human perspective, if the average lifespan of a person is 80 years, these health problems would start rearing their ugly head somewhere during the 43rd year of life, provided your diet contained just over 10 percent GE foods and you began eating them in early childhood
According to a report released by the Environmental Working Group, Americans are eating their weight and more in genetically engineered food every year—an average of 193 pounds of GE foods annually
No thanks for me, I'll avoid GMO foods...especially the hidden ingredient of Canola oil (there is no such thing as a canola plant) and soy lecithin, as most soy is GM.
