LiveLoveManja is pro choice (to an informed choice to choose gmo vs non gmo foods) rather than choosing sides. We want our readers to understand that consuming GMO products is gambling with one's health. While a dollar is worth more than the next breath to some, others prefer health to profit. Cost and production wise, GMO may win temporarily. However, if one's health suffers in the long run due to GMO consumption ... this can end up being even more costly in the long run. Price does not refer just to the dollar ... it refers to the cost of life.
The article linked above refers to GMO and genetically modified Soy. DNA in the soy was damaged and a new protein was introduced (a protein not present in non gmo soy). This new protein is not digestible for all and may be the cause for increased soy allergy cases within the USA.
The damage does not stop there. Increased use of herbicides are also provoking numerous allergies and symptoms within the country. The higher residue on GM crops are causing numerous health issues involving digestion, IBS, chronic migraines, itchiness, fatigue, nausea, and itchy burning skin. We as humans and mother nature were not originally created to digest residue at this level. For most, it has become a quite toxic epidemic.
