Reason #7. Genetically
modified foods
Genetically
modified corn, cotton, soy and potatoes have been introduced into
the U.S. – for direct human (or indirect through stock feed). These
foods may have
been modified genetically to produce a naturally occurring pesticide
that is supposedly
toxic only to insects.
In
Australia there are still controls on the introduction of these
foods – but the industry is pushing
ahead steadily. There are no long-term human studies to indicate
that genetically modified foods are safe,
however animal studies have shown increased intestinal infections,
reduced immunity, and reduced vital
organ weights. Dietary supplementation may offset the potentially
negative effects of such foods. |
