See, it’s not the actual genetic modification that alters our health (at least not that we know of, yet)…
Instead, it’s the fact that the crops are Roundup-resistant. Meaning, they are sprayed with a Roundup-surfactant before harvest.
The thing is, these crops are not ‘washed’ before we eat them. So the chemical is getting into our food & our bodies
GMOs have been added to our food supply since 1994, but most people don’t know it because the US doesn’t require labeling of GMOs
As of 2012, most corn, soybeans, canola, cotton & sugar beets are GM
Nearly 80% of processed food and most fast food contain GMOs
The most recent study on GMO foods show a correlation with long-term consumption of the herbicide Roundup may cause HORMONAL IMBALANCE
We already know that estrogen dominance is a leading cause of variety of fertility issues, including
- low sperm count
- endometriosis
- uterine fibroids
- PCOS
- anovulation
ANY exposure to chemicals, foods & substances that lead to increased estrogen levels not only lead to widespread fertility problems, but also poor liver health
Poor liver health has been linked to causing hormonal imbalances and toxin overload
Couple that with the common MTHFR gene mutation affecting up to 30% of women in the US & it’s NO WONDER we have such an estrogen dominant population!
Although the study is being picked apart by the scientific community, claiming that it was poorly done, there’s no argument that it warrants further longer-term studies on the health implication of GMO foods and Roundup use in food crops
In the meantime…
