I received a newsletter from Dr. Mercola.com today and I thought this was the perfect subject to blog about today. Many of us are unaware of Genetically Modified (GM) foods and consume them on a daily basis. What's worse is that our government does not require these producers of GM foods to label their products as such. Fortunately, some producers who actually care what their consumers are actually consuming, label their products as Non-GMO which are mostly 100% USDA organic. Here in the US, grains, especially corn and soy are the most prevalent GM foods. These food sources have been shown in research studies to contribute to female reproductive disorders, damage to pituitary gland, and changes in testicles including sperm damage. Although organic food tends to be more expensive than the conventional alternatives, buying organic is the only way to know you are not consuming these dangerous GM foods and not risking some of these side-effects. You can either pay now with money by buying organic and avoiding processed foods or you can pay later with your health by purchasing GM foods. Dr. mercola has put together a free Non-GMO shopping guide to help you select your food choices. You can download and print it here:
