Evidence points to genetically engineered foods as a major contributor to rising disease rates in the US population, especially among children.Gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, inflammatory diseases, and infertility are just some of the problems implicated in humans, pets, livestock and lab animals that eat genetically modified soybeans and corn.
Contributing to these problems are Monsanto’s strong arm tactics, fraudulent policies of the Food & Drug Administration, and the US Department of Agriculture’s ignoring a growing health emergency.
