John Burgstiner 10/12/2012 11:55:10 AM | Monsanto and other pesticide and biotech giants have invested heavily to thwart proposed California legislation to require mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients. Proposition 37 asserts that we the citizens have the right to know if our food has been genetically engineered. Predictably, opponents of the bill claim that if passed, it will increase food costs without positively impacting the safety of the food supply. However, the results of a recent two year French study - the first ever conducted to examine the LIFELONG effects of exposure to GMO corn on rats - sent shock waves through the scientific community. Rather than stopping the study at 90 days as all previous studies had done (curious isn't it?), the French scientists discovered that beginning at 120 days of exposure, the rats developed massive tumors , organ damage, and progressive illness leading to early death. Most European countries have already mandated clear labeling of GMO foods, but as usual, corporate interests in the U.S. have so far outpaced the interests of Americans. Ground zero in the battle for your right to choose not to serve your family frankenfoods is in California. If Prop 37 is accepted and GMO ingredient disclosure is required in California, food companies will face a tough PR challenge by not extending GMO label disclosure to other states. Therefore, a win in California leads to a win for all of us. If the measure is defeated in California, where else can we hope to do better? The answer is nowhere. We will likely be cursed with hidden GMO's for the foreseeable future. and based upon the French study results, a scary and tragic future indeed. What Can You Do? Make sure that this issue is not buried within your realms of influence. especially if you have any contacts who can vote or influence a vote in California in the upcoming election.

Please pay attention to looking at the label for these in the foods you are buying and eating and aviod them if you can! Sugar (unless cane sugar) Aspartame, also called NutraSweet, glycine soy isolates Soy lecithin BeneVia, AminoSweet High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) Soy milk Baking powder Canola oil Hydrolyzed vegetable protein Soy protein Caramel color Soy protein isolate Soy sauce corn flour corn masa corn oil corn syrup cornstarch cottonseed oil cyclodextrin maltodextrin triglyceride dextrin mannitol diacetyl vegetable oil maltose modified food starch fructose (any form) glucose Nutrasweet glutamate glutamic acid phenylalanine monosodium glutamate (MSG) mono and diglyceride maltodextrin triglyceride xanthan gum STRENGTH and LOVE Peter |
Monica 11/9/2012 10:25:32 AM | I agree Peter. Big business thinks it got away with something. We must become even more vigilant about what we put into our mouths. As, they really don't care as to what they put into our food. This issue will come up again and again. But, I know at some point, we will have a voice again in the production of the food products we buy. It will happen... It must! Blessings, Monica |
