GMO DANGERS<br />
Genetically modified foods<br />
ARE THEY SAFE?<br />
The American Academy of Environmental<br />
Medicine (AAEM) doesn’t think so.<br />
The Academy reported that “Several animal studies indicate<br />
serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility,<br />
immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation,<br />
and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. The<br />
AAEM asked physicians to advise patients to avoid GM foods.<br />
CAUTION! GENETIC MODIFICATION<br />
GM IS A SPECIAL SET OF TECHNOLOGIES THAT ALTER THE GENETIC<br />
MAKEUP OF ORGANISMS SUCH AS ANIMALS, PLANTS, OR BACTERIA.<br />
COMBINING GENES FROM DIFFERENT ORGANISMS IS KNOWN AS<br />
RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY, AND THE RESULTING ORGANISM IS<br />
SAID TO BE “GENETICALLY MODIFIED,” “GENETICALLY ENGINEERED,” OR<br />
“TRANSGENIC.” GM PRODUCTS (CURRENT OR THOSE IN DEVELOPMENT)<br />
INCLUDE MEDICINES AND VACCINES, FOODS AND FOOD INGREDIENTS,<br />
FEEDS, FIBERS AND ECS.<br />
