Watch the award winning documentary Genetic Roulette - The Gamble of Our Lives for FREE online up to and including Tuesday, November 8, 2013. This film explains the health risks of GMOs. GMOs are organisms that are created by taking genes from one species and forcing those genes into the DNA of another species. A gene is often “piggy-backed” on a virus, or part of a virus, in order to activate the gene. Examples include inserting spider genes into goats to produce goat’s milk that contain spider web proteins used to make bulletproof vests. Cow genes have been inserted into pigs in order to produce pigs with cowhides. Human genes have been inserted into corn to produce a spermicide. When it comes to GMOs in our food supply, there are two main categories: Herbicide-tolerant crops, designed to withstand otherwise lethal doses of chemicals. Roundup Ready crops are in this category. In June, groundbreaking research was published detailing a newfound mechanism of harm for Roundup. The finding suggests that glyphosate may actually be the most important factor in the development of a wide variety of chronic diseases. Pesticide-producing crops, designed to produce a toxic protein inside the plant itself, which kills bugs that eat the plant by causing their stomachs to rupture. These are the so-called Bt crops. A study published in February 2012 shows that this Bt toxin is capable of breaking open human cells, and that it might cause the same kind of disruption in the gut of humans as it causes in the insects it kills. Consuming Bt corn or soy could potentially cause gut permeability (leaky gut), which can predispose you to all sorts of health problems. Contrary to popular belief, the process of genetic engineering is anything but precise. The four major GMO crops are; corn, soy, canola and cottonseed. Over the last two decades, the United States has witnessed a dramatic rise in chronic illnesses that simply were not part of the norm some 30-50 years ago. Since the mid-1990s, the number of Americans suffering from at least three chronic illnesses nearly doubled. Life expectancy has decreased and infant mortality has increased. So what’s changed? Why are so many more Americans getting sick today and at an earlier age than ever before? We have gone from food in its whole food form, to food undergoing a scientific experiment.” One unintended side effect of this experiment is the creation of foreign and highly allergenic proteins. To quote soil scientist and physician Dr. Arden Anderson: Responsible Technology has put together a helpful Non-GMO Shopping Guide you can download and print. They even have an iPhone app. For More Information: geneticroulettemovie/ articles.mercola/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/02/genetic-roulette.a
