Let me share this article I just read from a Foot Levelers newsletter, Please folks , eat organic : More Scary News About Genetically Modified Soy Up to 89% of North American-grown soybeans are genetically modified (GM), which is cause for concern, research suggests. Most recently, Egyptian researchers who fed rats GM soy found deadly levels of toxicity in rats’ kidneys, liver, testes, sperm, blood and even DNA. Rats were tested at 30, 60 and 90 days, and toxin levels rose accordingly. According to an article in Natural Society, “No animals were tested for toxic affects after 90 days—but it didn’t take more than this to see an obvious correlation between the toxicity levels of the rats and their GM diet. The wheat-based control diet did not cause the same results.” GM soy, soy protein isolate and soy lecithin can be found in hundreds of everyday food products, including protein bars, fruit drinks, soups, sauces, meat substitutes, baked goods, cereals, certain dietary supplements, baby formula, and more obviously, items like tofu, edamame and soy milk.
