In the eighth issue of Gut Health Problems, we have an overview of the vast benefits of probiotics, a checklist of foods rich in zinc, an intro to determining if you have fiber deficiency, and more. Intestinal discomfort, whether chronic or occasional, is something worth taking the time to prevent. And while we all have those foods that give us problems, you may actually be able to make a change that makes a bigger difference than you ever imagined.

1 CORN<br />
Let’s begin with one of the most<br />
obvious. According to researchers at<br />
Michigan State University, GMO corn takes<br />
up roughly 80-percent of the American<br />
corn market. This is all thanks to the big<br />
conglomerate biotech seed companies<br />
(i.e., DuePont/Pioneer, Monsanto, Hi-<br />
Bred, Dow, AgroSciences, and Syngenta).<br />
There have been numerous criticisms in<br />
using GMO foods. The most common of<br />
these issues relate how consuming GMO<br />
foods negatively affect human health.<br />
In fact, several studies out of Norway,<br />
Hungary, Austria, Ireland, Turkey, and<br />
Australia all blame GMO corn used for<br />
human eating and in animal feed for<br />
raising obesity rates (especially in children)<br />
as well as a slough of organ disorders,<br />
such as heart disease and type II diabetes.<br />

SUGAR BEETS<br />
According to non-profit organization,<br />
Green American, almost 60-percent of<br />
American sugar originates from genetically<br />
modified sugar beets. This is attributed<br />
to a herbicide sprayed to protect plants<br />
from agricultural pests and weeds. Aside<br />
from ensuring that weeds and insects<br />
do not destroy the crop, the herbicide<br />
is also used to speed up plant growth.<br />
The Sugar Beets are used in numerous food<br />
items. This cash crop is turned into sugar.<br />
This means that sugars added to processed<br />
snack foods, soups, canned sauces, cereals,<br />
and breads contain genetic modifications.<br />
