These days everyone knows that eating healthier is the key to looking and feeling better and living a long life. The first thing we think of when our doctors tell us to eat healthier is incorporating more fruits and vegetables into our diets. While we need fruits and vegetables for their nutrients, there is something that the government and the Food and Drug Administration don't want you to know. If fruits and vegetables are the most important foods that we need to be healthier, then why are Americans getting sicker every year and dying of heart disease, diabetes and cancer? Most of the foods and produce that we enjoy today have been genetically modified, which means that the genes of a species of food is being forced into the DNA of another species, causing them to lose all of the nutrients that they once had, which in turn causes a variety of harmful side effects.
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are the root cause of most of the deadly diseases that affect us today including Alzheimer's, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and even asthma! Why do they put GMOs in food you ask? So they can have a longer shelf life and because it's easier and faster for manufacturers to produce GMO foods in order to satisfy the demands of the consumers. The foods that we should be eating are not safe anymore. Some of these foods include corn, soybean, sugar beets and canola, which are incorporated into our diets everyday whether we know it or not. Some people think that the reason they've been diagnosed with these conditions is because of what they eat when in reality, it's the chemicals and ingredients in those foods that cause them. Think of those diseases as allergic reactions to all of those unsafe GMOs that are secretly hidden in our food.
Reading the nutrition label of every single item that you buy from the grocery store has never been more important until now. If you want to improve your health, reading the nutrition label is one of the best things you can do to become more aware of what you're putting in your mouth. Honestly, the government and the FDA don't care if you get sick from eating foods with GMOs as long as you continue to buy their products. While it's somewhat impossible to avoid these cancer causing organisms, there are steps we can take to bring more awareness and eventually take them out of our food supply. We should tell everyone we know about GMOs and how they negatively affect the body. We should choose to eat more organic foods because if you've ever been to a health food store, their products are mostly made with natural ingredients. I believe that one day our foods will be GMO free and our overall health and well-being will greatly improve.
In addition to reading this article and spreading awareness about GMOs and how they affect our bodies, I strongly encourage everyone to read the "101 Toxic Food Ingredients" e-book! It will change the way you think about food and the food industry.
