Label GMO vs. Don't Label GMO – What’s the Score

Get ready for a scary GMO fact - the effects of genetically modified foods on the human body has never been scientifically assessed. However, 80% of the packaged food you eat contains DNA-manipulated ingredients.

To make matters worse, genetically modified foods are not labeled as such, thus making your efforts to avoid them even more difficult. Requests for labelling GMO foods have so far been defeated with the help of giant food producers. 



                                                                  
Check the above photo for info on some of the countries that request GMO labelling. If you want to find out more about GMO labelling, we advise you to read the articles sponsors of anti-labeling GMO campaign and products of companies which opposeGMO labeling.

What you probably know in regards to GMOs is that scientists modify crops on genetic level in order to improve the resistance of plants to pests, increase yields and reduce the ripening time. The problem is you don’t know how these foods affect your organism, because there are no published studies on the impact of these foods on the human body and health.           

Well-known Canadian geneticist David Suzuki gave his opinion about GMO foods: "The experiments simply haven’t been done and we now have become the guinea pigs. Anyone that says, ‘Oh, we know that this is perfectly safe,’ I say is either unbelievably stupid or deliberately lying”.

Another prominent person who highlights the potential dangers of GMOs is Jayson Calton, a nutritionist who studied at Harvard and Yale, and a co-author of the book "Rich Food, Poor Food".
