(NaturalNews) Molecular engineers working in laboratories for Monsanto, the giant American biotech company, are
gene-splicing vegetable seedlings with poisonous pesticides and herbicides so the plants are inherently protected from the insects and worms that might damage them.
The majority of products Americans eat daily contain some form of GMO soy, corn, canola (rapeseed) oil or cotton seed oil. Research shows that consuming the popular herbicide/pesticide
Roundup leads to the
mutation of cells in the human body, in turn fueling the development of malignant tumors and other various forms of cancer.
In other words, as the plants grow up from the ground, they already contain genes from toxic concoctions, therefore helping corporations and their "cooperating" farmers maximize profits. Some countries are terrified and outraged, knowing there are
not sufficient studies on the long term effects from this bio-engineering "guessing game," and are boycotting American exports of major vegetables, dairy, and meat products for this specific reason, including Germany.
Consider this: What if over half of all the food being sold in grocery stores contained pesticides that you couldn't taste or smell, with
no warnings on the labels, and then you got cancer from eating them after ten years? Or, what if a pregnant mother could get her baby vaccinated in the womb with an insecticide, so that no insects would ever bite the child after it was born? Would anyone be crazy enough to do it, especially if it was FDA approved?
More than 85% of all corn, soy and canola oil are GMO
The bad news is in, and it may not be changing for quite awhile. GMO vegetables and all of their by-products are not labeled as GMO in the United States.
Currently, 93% of soy, canola and cottonseed oil, 86% of corn, 95% of sugar beets, 13% of squash, and rice is on the cutting board now. As much as 77% of the world's soy is
GMO also. Think for a moment about all of the popular products that have some kind of processed soy or corn in them; it would take an entire book to list them all. GM potatoes and tomatoes have been taken off the market.
To appreciate the size of this
health and environmental disaster, one should understand the 96% rule. For the first time ever, science has created models that combine the clinical and genetic similarities of rodents, great apes and humans for determining the odds of acquiring cancer.
A comparison of genetic blueprints with that of the human genome shows that our closest living relatives share 96% of our DNA (

The FDA and CDC quite often denounce research regarding popular cancer causing foods, additives, and artificial sweeteners because tests are only run on rats and mice, but not humans. Now we know we are affected by toxins, just like the other animals.
To pour salt in the wound, GMO pesticides not only
kill most of the nutrients in foods,
but most GMO plants die after one year and new seeds must be purchased from Monsanto. It's all part of the money making scheme (

What's the cure? Eat only organic
food from local farmers markets and health-food grocery stores. And if you say it's more expensive, you're wrong. Surgery and chemotherapy for stomach, kidney and colon cancer far exceed the price of non-GMO foods, drinks, candy and gum (and that's with health insurance). Also, let your voice be heard about GMO labeling. (MillionsagainstMonsanto.com)
