Monsanto is a United States company that was founded in 1901 by John Francis Queeny. From humble beginnings, John Queeny began producing a sweetener called saccharin and nearly 20 years later his company had established itself in the European market producing Aspirin and chemicals that helped to process rubber. The portion of the company that remained in the United States would go on to produce chemicals such as sulfuric acid.
The long history of Monsanto is readily available to read as it soon became a leading manufacturer of plastics and synthetic fibers. Today it remains one of the top 10 listed chemical companies world wide. A producer of 'Agent Orange', light emitting dioed, aspartame ( Now called Amino sweet) and bovine growth hormone, Monsando has branches in almost every niche in every corner of a world wide market.
From successful engineering of a plant in 1982, Monsanto began trial runs of genetically engineered crops five years later. Currently this company holds at LEAST FOUR PATENTS on GENETICALLY MODIFIED LIFE; both PLANT AND ANIMAL as it owns patents on genetically modified seed and attempted to gain a patent on modified pigs.
With the successful engineering of plants, Monsanto began food trials in 1985 and within a decade later, these genetically engineered foods were introduced to the public through process food sources. Currently there are over 40 genetically modified plants that have been approved for fresh food consumption.
Little regard was given to specific testing and studies over the long term are now showing that genetically modified foods do in fact show long term health side effects. Against public outcry science continues to hide behind governmental jurisdictions such as the FDA in order to stave off scrutiny. However credit needs to be given to the scientists who are willing to speak out against the compayny Monsando and the food and drug industry have hijacked and manipulated. These people are willing to go on record to expose the health risks of eating geneitcially modified foods by performint their own independent studies that PROVE that CHEMICALLY TREATED FOODS OF ANY KIND is FATAL TO ALL FORMS OF LIFE.
Side effects of genetically modified foods : What we know so far:
- Decrease nutritional value
- Causes unexpected mutations with the modified food itself which can cause a level of unexpected toxicity.
- Without labels, modified food related problems cannot be traced back to the source.
- Side effects show a mortality rate. 37 people have DIED, 1500 people were partially paralyzed and 5000 were disabled by a particular syndrome that was finally linked back to genetically engineered bacteria.
- GMO'S have been linked to MORGELLON's and LYME disease.
- Intestinal damage such as leaky gut syndrome but public liability blames gluten.
- Sterility in men and women and reproductive issues.
- infant mortality
- GMO's are PROVEN to disrupt the endocrine system causing a wide range of diseases such as; DIABETES, HEART PROBLEMS, VARIOUS FORMS OF CANCERS, DEMENTIA, ADHD, AUTISM, PARKINSON'S and SCHIZOPHRENIA to name just a few.
Foods that are labelled ' natural, whole, raw, free range' ARE NOT ORGANIC and often do contain GMO products or are foods that have been treated with the same chemicals that the GMO foods are modified with.
- Excerpt taken from : Body & Soul: The necessity of food page 18 and 19
Organic eating is the healthier choice, and studies prove that diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, Asthma, high blood pressure can be reduced or reversed when switching to an organic diet. Many people assume that organic eating is more expensive and that maybe initially true, but let me ask you, would you rather pay for your food now at the grocery counter, or would you rather pay towards maintaining your ill health in doctor visits and medication that does not fix the root of the problem by using well deserved retirement money and savings?
It's time to trust our own judgments and stop placing our trust in those who serve corporate gain. Take a personal stand and just say no to GMO by not buying them.
If you can't support your local march on May 23, please spread the message, this message and others like it. Please consider purchasing Body & Soul: the necessity of food as there is a reason why we need to start eating healthy as a nation of God's children and it goes deeper than Monsanto.
Little changes bring on big results and knowledge is power, the more you know the more empowered you become to make informed decisions in your life that are best suited for you and those you love. Make the change today to make a difference for our future.
