Top 10 GMO Foods to Avoid

It’s important to note that steering clear from these foods completely may be difficult, and you should merely try finding other sources than your big chain grocer.

If produce is certified USDA-organic, it’s non-GMO (or supposed to be!) Also, seek out local farmers and booths at farmer’s markets where you can be ensured the crops aren’t GMO.

Even better, if you are so inclined: Start organic gardening and grow them yourself.

Top 10 Worst GMO Foods for Your GMO Foods List

1. Corn: This is a no-brainer. If you’ve watched any food documentary, you know corn is highly modified. “As many as half of all U.S. farms growing corn for Monsanto are using genetically modified corn,” and much of it is intended for human consumption. Monsanto’s GMO corn has been tied to numerous health issues, including weight gain and organ disruption.

2. Soy: Found in tofu, vegetarian products, soybean oil, soy flour, and numerous other products, soy is also modified to resist herbicides. As of now, biotech giant Monsanto still has a tight grasp on the soybean market, with approximately 90 percent of soy being genetically engineered to resist Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup. In one single year, 2006, 96.7 million pounds of glyphosate was sprayed on soybeans alone

3. Sugar: According to NaturalNews, genetically-modified sugar beets were introduced to the U.S. market in 2009. Like others, they’ve been modified by Monsanto to resist herbicides. Monsanto has even had USDA and court-related issues with the planting of it’s sugarbeets, being ordered to remove seeds from the soil due to illegal approval.


4. Aspartame: Aspartame is a toxic additive used in numerous food products, and should be avoided for numerous reasons, including the fact that it is created with genetically modified bacteria.

5. Papayas: This one may come as a surprise to all of you tropical-fruit lovers. GMO papayas have been grown in Hawaii for consumption since 1999. Though they can’t be sold to countries in the European Union, they are welcome with open arms in the U.S. and Canada.

6. Canola: One of the most chemically altered foods in the U.S. diet, canola oil is obtained from rapeseed through a series of chemical actions.

7. Cotton: Found in cotton oil, cotton originating in India and China in particular has serious risks.

8. Dairy: Your dairy products contain growth hormones, with as many as one-fifth of all dairy cows in America are pumped with these hormones. In fact, Monasnto’s health-hazardous rBGH has been banned in 27 countries, but is still in most US cows. If you must drink milk, buy organic.

9 and 10. Zucchini and Yellow Squash: Closely related, these two squash varieties are modified to resist viruses.

The dangers of some of these foods are well-known. The Bt toxin being used in GMO corn, for example, was recently detected in the blood of pregnant women and their babies. But perhaps more frightening are the risks that are still unknown.

With little regulation and safety tests performed by the companies doing the genetic modifications themselves, we have no way of knowing for certain what risks these lab-created foods pose to us outside of what we already know.

The best advice: steer clear of them altogether.

A lot of scientists become ghouls when allowed to experiment and I think food-supply may explain a few of the pig-like creatures turning up dead lately. The meat would be like pork and the claws and snouts would enable them to root through any detritus and make them cheap to feed. The elite wouldn't eat them though, and it's not clear how many GM foods they avoid altogether. Mick McNulty. England.

GMO papayas grown in Hawaii, stay there because no one wants to buy them. Check the labels on the papayas at your store-grown in Mexico - not GMO.

non-organic celery and strawberries, while they may or may not be GMO should be avoided due to high levels of insecticide residue.

You forgot to mention ALL wheat products. They are a poison to the body like no other. When you try to stop eating Wheat products your body will crave it . It is like an addictive (opiate) drug.

GMOs are just another zionist culling operation as are vaccines and a lot of medications

Why do you people suppose Rand Paul voted in the Senate to side with Monsanto and other agri business scum to deny you people the right to know if your food is GM crap.

Why did Ron Paul support his idiot child`s sellout to GM food fascists.
And, why oh why do you people still support the Paul idiots when they clearly work for the other side.

I guess they believe they are only "Kissing" the devil and not really climbing in bed with it.

Problem is once you lose your soul (and they eventually will) You can never play with the devil without owing him the next dance.

The path of Good intentions are ALWAYS paved to the road to hell.

Pray for your Congress and Senators because evil and power lurk within the halls of Washington.
