Avoid GMO Monsanto Foods Your Health Matters

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) called on “Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community, and the public to avoid GM (genetically modified) foods when possible and provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks.”  They called for a moratorium on GM foods, long-term independent studies, and labeling.

Monsanto corn that is genetically engineered to kill insects is losing effectiveness against rootworms in four states, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said.

AAEM’s position paper stated, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. They conclude, “There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation,” as defined by recognized scientific criteria. “The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies.”
