“There is no rational justification for putting the entire world at risk with genetically engineered crops that have clearly failed to be subjected to responsible long-term scientific testing. As with most other chemicals — aspartame, Agent Orange, Bisphenol-A and so on — industry simply unleashes them onto the world and hopes nothing goes wrong.” M Adams
NaturalNews ~ Why are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) a serious threat to humanity and the environment? The reasons span the realms of science, social justice, economics and the environment, and once you understand this, you’ll readily understand why so many environmentalists, humanitarians, responsible scientists and social justice advocates are strongly opposed to GMOs.
Here are the top 10 ways GMOs threaten us all:
#1) Every grain of GM corn contains poison
GM corn is genetically engineered to develop a deadly pesticide in every grain of corn. When this corn is harvested and turned into Corn Flakes, corn tortillas, corn syrup or other corn-based foods, that same poison remains in the corn.
What is the effect of human children eating all the poisons grown in GM corn? Nobody knows for sure because the tests haven’t been conducted on human consumption. That’s why GMOs remain an untested experiment that exploits humans as guinea pigs.

#2) GMOs have never been safety tested for human consumption
Although GMO advocates ridiculously claim GMOs have been “proven safe in thousands of studies,” what they don’t tell you is that those were all short-term studies on animals, not humans.
In fact, GMOs have never been shown to be safe for long-term human consumption. What happens when a child eats GMOs for two decades? Does it substantially increase their risk of cancer, diabetes, kidney failure or future Alzheimer’s? Nobody knows, exactly, because the tests haven’t been done. Continue reading →
