What is Genetically Modified Food?
GMOs Part 1/3 If the old saying is true that we are what we eat, Americans may want to sit up and take notice: the Center for Food Safety has estimated that up to 75% of processed foods on grocery store shelves contain genetically engineered ingredients. Even the most health-conscious individuals have likely been unable to avoid consuming genetically modified foods, especially since food distributors are not required by law to label them. We explore why some people wanted to alter the composition of crops in the first place, how GM food can impact your health, and what your elected representatives are doing in response to public concern. This is a lot to digest (so to speak), but we are confident you will emerge a more alert consumer. At a local farmers market, we ask some of San Diego’s most health-conscious consumers if they’re aware of genetically modified foods. Continue watching to study the science behind the modification process. Transcript: Did you know that you have been eating genetically modified (GM) food for the past ten years? And it’s in 70-75% of our nation’s food! A long list of documented health complications associated with eating GM foods includes increased risk of certain types of cancer and fertility complications. What exactly are GM foods? Simply put, scientists wanted to make crops more resilient to environmental factors. Suppose you grow tomatoes: at night it gets so cold that half of your tomatoes are frozen in the morning and you can’t sell …
Thanks so much for this one as well, and the most comprehensive transcript with it.
Salute!

very well explained. thanks for the information.
You are what you eat, and i agree that know one know what the out come will be but it will be in our children and grand-kids that we will see the effects of GM remember Thalidomide in the 60s we were told that was safe as well are you going to risk it? i will never knowingly use it EVER
i didnt know GMO went farther than mixing species, now all i can say is WOW.
If mesquito repellant came out of my poors I would consider it a good thing…
your crazy. would it still be a good thing if you couldnt get bit by a mesquito but ended up with cancer or something else of the sort
Why dont we just fucking take a turtule and take its dna and make us live for 400years!
Watch “The World According to Monsanto”.
people …..please read William Engdahl’s Seeds Of Destruction……..GMO is to kill people slowly………If u don’t believe please read Eugenics and GMO ….Alex Jones Channel will be good idea to watch…
5:21 “In some countries where starvations rates are very high, they burn genetically modified crops in protest.” Maybe they have a high starvation rate cause they BURN all of their crops? This seems too stupid to be true.
Great information!
This started out reasonably balanced then became hysterical and ridiculous.
As someone who studied biotechnology much of what is said is patently silly.
Such ridiculous propaganda…
