Everything You Need to Know about GMO's Video

Here's a great new video posted at Dr. Mercola's site. It's a speech by GMO activist Michael Taylor, author of the book Seeds of Deception.

If you are new to the whole GMO issue, I highly recommend that you check out this video and the website below. Genetically modified crops are not safe. If you consume fast food, processed food,  and non-organic Corn, Soybeans, Canola, or Cottonseed products, chances are you are consuming these dangerous substances.


Everything You HAVE TO KNOW about Dangerous Genetically Modified Foods from Jeffrey Smith on Vimeo.

Highlights of the video:
- We are at a 'tipping point' in terms of convincing consumers to avoid GMO's
- When offered GM foods, animals will refuse it. Animals allowed to graze on GM crops have actually died
- Studies have shown long term detrimental effects of GM foods
- GMO's create massive collateral damage environmentally and in the human body
- GMO's do scary things to genes and cells

Key points of avoiding GMO's:
1. Buy Organic - Organic producers are not allowed to use GMOs
2. Look for "Non-GMO" Labels
3. Avoid At-Risk Ingredients including: Corn, Soybeans, Canola, Cottonseed

FrankenProduce - Avoid the 8's

You can tell if produce is conventionally grown, genetically modified, or organic - it's all in the numbers. This is an extremely helpful bit of information given the fact that the powers that be don't want American's to know what's GMO...apparently 70% of packed products have GMO but for fresh produce you can just check the PLU sticker and avoid the 8's:

4 DIGIT NUMBERS (they all begin with 3 or 4) denote conventionally grown, non-GMO produce (that is, grown with chemical pesticides and fertilizers and not genetically modified)

5 DIGITS BEGINNING WITH AN 8 means the produce is evil genetically modified Frankenproduce!!!

5 DIGITS BEGINNING WITH A 9 means it is ORGANIC (yay)

In other works, avoid 8's at all costs! The 9's have it! From this really cool website called EarthSky.
