GMO corn also contains 200 ppm of formaldehyde, according to the EPA
Formaldehyde, a colorless, pungent-smelling gas, can cause watery
eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing in some humans exposed at elevated levels (above
0.1 parts per million). High concentrations may trigger attacks in people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can develop
sensitivity to formaldehyde. It has also been shown to cause cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans. Health effects include
eye, nose, and throat irritation; wheezing and coughing; fatigue; skin rash; severe allergic reactions and may cause cancer. May also
cause other effects listed under organic gases.
According to one study, formaldehyde is toxic to animals in amounts of 0.97 ppm or
more.
So GMO corn contains 200 times the amount shown to be safe by another of our government agencies.
Isn't that great?
Americans are eating GMO's today like they're going out of style and soon there will be few products that aren't GMO. Now more than 70% by most estimates are GMO. Yep - your tax dollars at work by the FDA.
Inside the World Seed Racket - The world according to Monsanto
You may have heard the FDA and food industry claims that genetically
modified (GM) foods are safe, properly tested, and necessary to feed a hungry world. UNTRUE! GMOs are one of the most dangerous and
radical changes to our food supply. These largely unregulated ingredients are found in more than 70% of the foods in the US, Many
consumers in the US mistakenly believe that the FDA approves GM foods through rigorous, in-depth, long-term studies. In reality, the
agency has absolutely no safety testing requirements. Instead the agency relies on research from companies like Monsanto, research
that is meticulously designed to avoid finding problems. Is this the fox guarding the hen house?
It's easy to understand the FDA's
industry-friendly policy on regulation of GMOs when you see the revolving door between agency regulators and the companies they regulate.
The White House mandate to the FDA under the first George Bush was to promote biotechnology and the person in charge of developing
the agency's policy at that time was a former Monsanto attorney, who later returned to Monsanto as their vice president.
The FDA has
claimed it was not aware of any information showing that GM crops were different in any meaningful or uniform way, from non-GMO
crops and therefore didn't require testing.
But 44,000 internal FDA documents made public by a lawsuit show that this was a complete lie.
The overwhelming consensus among the
FDA's own scientists was that GM foods were quite different and could lead to unpredictable and hard-to-detect allergens, toxins,
new diseases and nutritional problems. It turns out that FDA scientists, who had urged superiors to require long-term studies, were
ignored. Even though evidence of this apparent fraud at the FDA was presented at a Washington, D.C. press conference in 1999 with
major media in attendance, the media didn't alert the public. No surprise there. In fact, most Americans know so little about this
subject that only about 1 in 4 consumers even know if they've ever eaten a GM food in their lives, even though the vast majority of
processed foods contain derivatives from the four major GMO crops: soy, corn, cottonseed and canola.
Today as I write this, in hundreds
of cities across the US and Canada, and in at least 60 other countries, people are marching against agri-business and chemical giant
Monsanto.
An interesting video trailer below on
The world according to Monsanto.
Are American's still eating GMO foods? You betcha
- and like never before.
If you control food, you have a weapon more powerful that a bomb. See short video trailor
QUESTION - Has
are FDA ever been held accountable? Thanks of course a joke. Again - are we still eating GMO's? $

For Consumption in the U.S. Banned in other
countries Notes & Article
This brings a whole new meaning to the words food poisoning. Original list found in Dr.
Jayson Calton and Certified Nutritionist Mira Caltons book.
1. Artificial food dye
Makes your food pretty and inhibits nerve-cell development
at the same time.
Found in Practically everything we eat: cake mixes, sports drinks, cheese, candy, and even MACARONI AND CHEESE.
Why it's dangerous: Artificial dyes are made from chemicals derived from PETROLEUM, which is also used to make gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt and TAR! Artificial dyes for decades have been linked to brain cancer, nerve-cell deterioration, and hyperactivity, just to name a few. All of course approved for consumption by our FDA.
Where it's banned: Norway, Finland, Austria, France, and the U.K.

Potassium bromate or (bromated flour)
Great for impatient bakers, bad for your kidneys and nervous system.
Found in: Wraps, rolls,
bread crumbs, bagel chips, flat breads etc.
Why it's dangerous: Derived from the same harmful chemical as brominated vegetable oil,
brominated flour is used to decrease baking time and reduce costs. Only problem is, it's linked to kidney damage, cancer, and nerve
system damage. But who cares if we can speed up the baking process Right?
Where it's banned: Europe, Canada, and China.
Olestra
or Olean
Lowers calorie counts while causing vitamin depletion and anal leakage.
Found in: Fat-free potato chips, corn chips, and French
fries and countless other products.
Why it's dangerous: Created by Procter & Gamble as a substitue for cooking oil, Olestra robs
your body of its ability to absorb vitamins. Fun side effects include cramps and leaky bowels.
Maybe now removed from foods. How much
damage was caused?
Where it's banned: The U.K. and Canada.
Life expectancy from birth in the U.K. 81.2 years. Canada 82.2 years.
Life expectancy in US 79.3 years - Any questions?
BVO (Brominated vegetable oil)
Makes food dye stick to liquid, but also may cause birth defects and major organ damage.
Found in: Sports
drinks and citrus-flavored sodas.
Why it's dangerous: Bromine is a chemical used to stop CARPETS FROM CATCHING ON FIRE, so you can
see why drinking it may not be the best idea. BVO is linked to major organ system damage, birth defects, growth problems, schizophrenia,
and hearing loss. But hey, we've been told that real animal fat is bad for our health Right?
So what's a little organ damage or
hearing loss!
Where it's banned: In over 100 countries. But not in the USA. We are so lucky! $
