It is a New Year! And I wanted to remind Reformed Health readers that genetically engineered crops are prevalent in the United States. If you are eating corn or corn derived products and/or soy or soy derived products that are not organically grown, you are exposing yourself to glyphosate and a range of other pesticides that God never intended for human consumption. These genetically modified so-called food derivatives are found in almost all pre-packaged food in one form or another.
In addition, if you are wearing cotton clothing, using cotton sheets, cotton swabs, feminine products, and other items that are made of cotton, you are being exposed to these chemicals as well.
Health Issues Linked to GE Crops
As I was searching for GMO statistics in the US, I came across this chart on autism and noticed a similarity in the curves.
Is there a connection?
Interestingly the statistics worldwide for autism are about 1% of the population. Yet, in the United States, 1 in 68 has autism. And the numbers are growing. There are many other health concerns besides autism that are being linked to GMO crops including:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Osteoporosis
- Atherosclerosis
- Various types of cancer
- Allergies
- Lou Gehrig’s disease
- And more [1]
Read Dr. Mercola for a host of articles on the subject.
Only We Can Change the System
Economics drives the food supply. When consumers stand up and say “no” by refusing to purchase genetically modified products – they are voting for a safer and healthier food supply with their wallet.
It is the average consumer with the power to stop the agricultural conundrum we are facing. You and I must make the change.
The number one thing you can do this year to help the cause is to buy only organic products.
Happy New Year!
