As UK officials tout GMO foods as ‘safe’ compared to organic crops,
results of a long-term, peer-reviewed study conducted by a group of
scientists led by Dr Judy Carman of the Institute of Health and
Environmental Research in Australia has been released – and it proves
that GMO are anything but ‘safe.’
Livestock in the UK and
around the world have been fed GMO for over two decades, since the USDA
authorized the commercial sale of GMO soy and corn to feed not only
animals, but human beings in 1996. Much of the meat raised on these GMO
crop are sent overseas, to countries like the UK, elsewhere in Europe,
and even to cattle-abundant nations like Australia. This most recent
study proves that a more sober examination of the long term effects of
GMO on our environment and health should be demanded of corporations
like Monsanto, even as other evidence mounts that GMO crops are
unhealthy, especially considering that nations trying to remove GMO from
their food supply are still being devastated by its ill-effects.
