    It's impossible to eliminate GMO from ones diet unless you're growing 100% of you're own food.

    If you eat or drink anything flavored with corn sweetener, you're digesting GMO.

    There's no market means to distinguish GMO and non-GMO when storing corn, it's all mixed together and has been for about 3 generations of consumers.

    This kind of article needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The issue with GM is one that is almost always confused because the real issue is not the GM foods themselves, but the reason we now need them.

    No one is looking at the real issue and that is what is really concerning about this whole issue. Monsanto did not create GMF's as part of a conspiracy to wipe out the human race. They created GMF's because after decades of poisoning our farm lands with herbicides and pesticides, our food crops were beginning to fail from the poisoning of the soil. In order to create a more hearty plant that could grow in poisoned soil they engineered GMF's.

    Now I am of the camp that believes the GMF's are the symptom and not the disease. The disease is the poisoned soil. Which do you think is really worse, the manipulation of genes which we have been doing via cross pollination for hundreds of years, or growing your food where the plants take up poisonous chemicals which accumulate in your system?

    The issue you see is not the GMF's themselves, the issue is why we need them in the first place. Because we are poisoning ourselves.

    That is so funny.....how does growing GMO crops get the chemical out of the soil? Wouldn't it still end up in the crop? Companies like Monsanto create the problem, then come in with their preplanned solution, which is going to create another set of problems, which they again in tern will come in with another solution, and on and on.

    Really? That is your argument? OK lets take it real slow... the GMO crops do not get anything out of the soil. They are genetically modified to be immune to the poison, just as some animals are immune to venom.
    The carcinogenic chemicals do not kill the GMO crops but they are absorbed into them where they create cancer in the people who eat them. That is why cancer rates are skyrocketing. There is an average of 400 lbs. of pesticide and herbicide sprayed on each acre of farmland every year and some of that is absorbed into every fruit and vegetable you eat. The crops are also fed to farm animals that produce your meat.

    Boy, you are so nieve; anybody that have any experience with growing plants for food will know that when you put chemicals in the soil the plant takes it up via it's roots and up into the plant and ultimately into fruits or seeds. I can tell you that, because we use to have backyard garden. My father, in trying to kill ants that built their nest in the root of the sugar cane that he planted, purred kerosene oil at the root. It killed the ants for sure, but months later, when the time came when the cane was mature and he reaped a few, the cane smelled like kerosene oil. Obviously, the sugar cane plant absorbed the oil via it's roots and into the cane.


    So the GMO plant may have an immunity to the poison that's in the soil, but when someone consumes that same plant/fruit/grain they are consuming the poison that is in the GMO plant that it got from the contaminated soil. Over time, if people continue to consume GMO it's going to destroy their health, and even cause cancer.
