why is Gmo so bad for you?!

Genetically modified organisms..Think about it, genetically modified morganisms= un natural. Go with organic foods and you'll be much better off. I rarely eat "modified" food. and i feel better. and youll lose weight whether you like it or not. skinny or fat or normal. even if its a lil... gmo's are garbage. garbage!!!!!!!!!!. yes i ranted!, and i like it! :))~~

GM foods have on.y been available for about twenty years so the thing about people getting cancer when they are much older isn't true as people could only be at most twenty years older than when they ate it. As for the evidence that it harms humans, well there isn't any. There is evidence from animal tests that the modified DNA (called transgenes) stays in the systems of some animals, but whether or not it actually causes harm is inconclusive. There is also evidence of tissue damage in some species but not in humans. Basically animal testing is unreliable so these results tell us that MAYBE it'll do something different to what the non-transgenic crop of the same variety will do, but it is too hard to say for certain that it will and the evidence suggests it won't.

Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. These techniques are much more precis than mutagenesis (mutation breeding) where an organism is exposed to radiation or chemicals to create a non-specific but stable change. Other techniques by which humans modify food organisms include selective breeding; plant breeding, and animal breeding, and somaclonal variation.The main reasons are due to politics, globalization, and economics. The huge American biotech companies that are mainly Monsanto, Sergenta, and Dupoint PATENTS their seeds. Yes, according to our disgraceful, pathetic USDA with its obvious ties to Big Business's best interests, you can patent natural products like seeds, even if they are GM seeds. Monsanto has never lost a patent case yet. Monsanto is an unethical corporation responsible for the 100s of 1,000s of Indian farmers' suicides, bio-piracy bioterrorism, monopolization agriculture, infecting traditional seeds like Mexican corn (maize), and farmers' heavily fatal exposure to the pesticides- also patented by Monsanto- that they spray. Monsanto is a horrible corporation, profits are the number one concern, even before your health. In order to grow patented you have to buy from Monsanto. Monsanto has put a lot of dtipulations on their seeds. One example, is that farmers have to throw away seeds for the next growing season.

Plus, the FDA deems GMO's ''safe'' when the agency says they will test them 10+ years ago when they haven't yet. How can an agency make assumptions or opinions on there being no harmful effects of GM foods when the FDA themselves have not even done one study on the possible health effects we they said they would years ago? FDA says there doesn't need to be any studies done on the safety of GMO food. Michael Taylor heads up FDA policy, but is former VP of Monsanto. the FDA is tied up with chemical, and pharmaceutical companies...its a viscous circle. Why? It's because the FDA is in bed with these giant biotech industry. Lobbying is the intention of influencing decisions made by legislators and officials in the government by individuals, other legislators, constituents, or advocacy groups. Lobbyists in Congress are working with Big Business to pass bills and control lawmaking on behalf of special interest. The obvious conflict of interests is unconscionable.

Also, most of ''research'' promoting GMO's as safe are conducted and funded by industry researchers. Monsanto conducts and funds their own research on their own products. If that isn't conflict of interest, shifty, and questionable, I don't know what is. Monsanto can selective publish only the scientific literature that are possibility skewed overall toward commercial ends with certain hypotheses with those that favor them. Any research that show negative outcomes, the industry tends to not publish in order to protect their special interest. The FDA is protecting Big Businesses like MOnsanto and the dairy industry's industry dollars. The same goes with the USDA. This is why tax money is spent on milk farm subsidies for the past 50 + years. Our government accepts nutritional studies that are funded entirely by industry. So, their conclusions/results are four to eight times more likely to support the sponsor's commercial interest than studies with no industry funding. Conflicts of interest in nutritional studies could affect everybody because everybody eats. The FDA has been susceptible to sponsor bias research not only for nutritional studies, but also for the pharmaceutical industry. Conflicts of interest in pharmaceuticals could affect the millions of people taking drugs.

Obviously there are health dangers to humans consuming GMOs since the European Union, Chile, Canada, etc. have all banned GM foods because they have decided them as being a threat to health based on ACTUALLY CONDUCTING STUDIES on GMOs!!! Russian scientists studying GMOs on hamsters found third generation hamsters sterilized by GMO Soy. Using the same genetically modified (GM) soy that is produced on over 90 percent of the soy acreage in the US, the hamsters and their offspring were fed their respective diets over a period of two years, during which time the researchers evaluated three generations of hamsters. In the 2nd generation GM soy-fed hamsters had a five-fold higher infant mortality rate, compared to the 5 percent normal death rate that was happening in the controls. Nearly all the 3rd generation GMO fed hamsters were sterile. But it doesn't end there. In GM soy-fed groups they also found an unusually high prevalence of an otherwise extremely rare phenomenon – hair growing inside the animals’ mouths.

America is so controlled by big business that it is getting embarrassing. The government should only accept independent funding research.

These videos explain why the corporation Monsanto is an unethical, greedy, and cheating company:

GMO were created for one reason. Agra Business corporate profits. Not to save the world from hunger, or to make everyone more happy and healthy. Monsanto, right now, controls most of the food you eat. And the only tests on it were done by Monsanto. It's called the Fox guarding the hen house. The US, with all its money is becoming the most unhealthy country in the world. Watch the video, The Future of Food. The people of the US are ginny pigs for Agra Business.
