The growing dangers of GMO
foods
Hi John
What would you think if I were to invite you over to my home and offered you a scoop of tuna salad for lunch, but instead of mayonnaise I used glue?
Or how about if chicken breasts were on the menu, but I sautéed them in motor oil instead of butter?
Or what if I baked a fresh loaf of cinnamon bread for you, but instead of eggs I used fabric softener?
Of course these are silly questions, but the point is, you probably wouldn't need an expensive study to prove to you that eating my creepy food suggestions wouldn't be a good idea.
But I have news for you.
Chances are excellent that you already ARE eating foods that are about as gross as my suggestions above...
And you don't even know it.
Here's the scoop on what I call "monster foods"--otherwise known as GMOs.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
Since the dawn of time, Nature has created different variations of plants through a type of cross-breeding, typically with insects or the wind moving pollen from one plant to another.
What results sometimes is a "new and improved" species of plant that may be more sturdy or nutritious than its "ancestors."
So far so good.
But the problems started to rise when scientists decided they wanted to play Mother Nature.
Because they're not sitting in a lab sprinkling pollen from plant to plant, delightedly waiting for the new offspring--they're instead altering the genetic code (DNA) of plants by cutting off bits of a living organism's DNA and splicing them into a completely unrelated species.
This is what's called a GMO--or genetically modified organism.
So what's the big deal?
The real danger with GMOs is that scientists are NOT splicing plant DNA to plant DNA.
Instead they're splicing things like chicken genes into potato DNA or fish genes into strawberry DNA.
So for all of you who are allergic to seafood, think about that next time you eat strawberries.
In addition, rodent genes have been inserted into tobacco.
If you're a smoker, I hope you're fond of Mickey Mouse because he may be lining your lungs.
But it doesn't stop there.
Bacteria and viruses are being spliced into cucumbers and tomatoes.
Talk about a whole new meaning of food poisoning!
And chemical pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are being inserted into various plants.
Nothing like a little weed killer with your salad.
Now, the idea behind all this DNA play is to create "super crops" that resist pests, droughts, disease and other crop-destroying forces.
But what has resulted is a series of "aliens"--entirely new and foreign life forms that we know NOTHING about.
That includes knowing basically ZERO about their safety--because very few studies have been done thus far that prove they are not harmful.
And they're not being monitored either.
Neither the FDA nor the US Department of Agriculture requires the biotech companies to prove that GMO foods are safe for human consumption before new modified crops are put on the market.
As a matter of fact, studies are starting to suggest otherwise...
GMO = Growing massively obese?
As part of a project examining the health effects of GMOs, researchers from Norway studied 2 groups of rats. One group was fed food containing GMO corn and the other was given food made with conventional corn.
Over the course of 90 days, the rats eating the GMO corn diet grew fatter and consumed more food than the rats on the non-GMO diet.
The researchers also observed that rats got fatter when they ate fish that had been raised on GMO corn--so there's a chain reaction effect.
They also tried the experiment on salmon and saw similar results.
Fish eating GMO corn grew faster and ate more than fish eating non-GMO corn.
And the salmon eating the GMO corn were also less able to digest proteins, and experienced immune system changes that didn't occur in the non-GMO-fed fish.
If that doesn't raise your eyebrows, I don't know what will.
But I'll just crap it out, right?
A common argument used by biotech companies when contending the safety of GMO foods has been that any "funky new genes" created with GMO foods are destroyed in the intestines when you eat them.
And they'll glide on through when you have your next BM, right?
Uh, not quite.
Because in the studies above, the researchers also noted ALL the genes from the GMO food that the rats and salmon ate were later detected in their BLOOD!
My tuna salad with glue is starting to sound better and better, isn't it?!
Don't be a gerbil
The bottom line here, my friend, is don't be a gerbil.
If you eat GMO foods, you are a human guinea pig, period.
And even if the health effects of GMOs start to make themselves more and more known, food and biotech companies are VERY rich...and very good at creating evidence to defend themselves.
The best way to ensure your safety and that of your loved ones is to avoid them at ALL cost.
This may seem daunting, but it can easily be done.
Here's how--it just involves 4 steps:
1) Become a careful label reader
There's no need to panic and avoid buying produce and missing out on all its awesome health benefits.
All you need to do is when shopping for produce look closely at the little stickers on the items. Here's what they mean:
GMO crops are also slipped into in packaged/processed foods, and the labels don't need to spell that right out for you.
For example, many types of snack chips are made with GMO corn.
So the more you avoid buying processed or packaged stuff to begin with, the better off you are.
But if you wish to indulge in a snack or convenience food, make sure it's organic (see number 3 below).
3) Buy organic whenever you can
Organic foods by their very definition do not contain GMO ingredients.
So if you want corn chips or other packaged foods, at least opt for organic brands.
And try to buy as much organic meat and produce as possible.
If you're on a tight budget and can't afford to go 100% organic, here are the items which have the largest amounts of pesticide residue and are most important to buy organic:
When you eat real foods and have efficient digestion, you are significantly minimizing your chances of taking in GMOs, and you also help nourish your body the way Nature--NOT the biotech industry--intended.
Not only will this help regular BMs become YOUR morning glory, but you'll be less likely to overeat and gain weight (unlike the unlucky rats and fish in the studies above).
And of course, good digestion means less acid reflux, gas and bloating too!
All you need to do is follow a reliable program that will show you how to structure healthy, easy to digest meals and guide you on making REAL foods that are positively scrumptious.
And that, my friend, is what Great Taste No Pain
- http://www.greattastenopain.com/great.asp
and Great Taste No Gluten
- http://www.greattastenogluten.com/great.asp
will do for you.
Both programs show you what foods you should eat together for easy digestion that will leave you feeling great and loaded with energy. Eating this way will also help counteract the harmful effects of a not-so-great diet that you may have had in the past.
And the recipe books in each system are both loaded with delicious dishes featuring REAL foods that will nourish your body and make your taste buds dance.
It’s all you, baby
Remember YOU alone are responsible for your health--not biotech companies and food companies.
Don't offer yourself up as a guinea pig, jeopardizing your health while you help to grow their bottom lines.
When it comes to real health, Natural is ALWAYS best, my friend.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia

PPS: Processed foods, pesticides and herbicides are not only harmful to you, but also to your intestinal flora. And since this is where 70% of your immune system is located, having imbalanced gut flora is putting out the welcome mat for a whole slew of bugs, viruses, infections and even diseases.
But daily supplementation with Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula can help turn that around for you. Learn more about how it does that here:

PPPS: Lea’s down 40 pounds and hasn’t felt this good in years!
Hi Sherry,
I want to report how healthy I am after incorporating Great Taste No Pain into my life.
Several years ago I went in search for something to help my husband who was having lots of stomach pain and discomfort. I found your program and we gave it a try. Within a few days we both were feeling so much better.
I have a hiatal hernia and as long as I follow the plan effectively, I don't have acid reflux anymore. I don't need to take any over the counter remedies because I am doing great. When we do mix the wrong foods, I can't believe how horrible it feels. Sure keeps us on the right track.
Sticking to fresh foods makes so much difference. You also mention exercising regularly. I watched a BBC program on weight loss. They tested a man to see how exercise effected his metabolic rate. They were surprised to find that it stayed higher for close to 24 hours. So they determined that if you have some form of exercise daily that gets your heart rate up, then your metabolic rate will stay higher.
So my husband I decided to do brisk walking and hill climbing with our dog every day, usually about 45 minutes. The result is that I have lost 40 pounds with only 15 left to go. I haven't felt this good in years!
I am almost 60 and I have had hypothyroidism, so there you go. It can be done with Great Taste No Pain and daily exercise.
We also stay away from processed foods including pop or sodas. I found that I can no longer stand the taste of processed stuff. Once you are away from it, it all tastes really fake and salty. I get your emails every day and thank you for all the healthy information!
Regards,
Lea

There's no need to panic and avoid buying produce and missing out on all its awesome health benefits.
All you need to do is when shopping for produce look closely at the little stickers on the items. Here's what they mean:
- 4-digit code: It’s your regular old traditionally grown
(non-GMO) produce
- 5-digit code: Look at the first number.
- If it starts with a 9,
it's organic and safe.
- If it starts with an 8,
it's a GMO!2)
GMO crops are also slipped into in packaged/processed foods, and the labels don't need to spell that right out for you.
