There are many reasons to buy organic. One being that genetically modified foods and derivatives thereof have become widespread the last decade. We have yet to truly understand the neurological damage that these foods may have long-term, however, common sense tells us that these foods are to be avoided, as they have shown in animal studies to increase pesticides within the body - pesticides act like neurotoxins and disrupt your endocrine system. Children are most vulnerable to the devastating effects of neurological damage, as their brains are still developing. And in many cases, once neurological damage is done - well, it is done.
If you have been eating these foods, then you need a customized detoxification program geared at ridding your body of pesticides in order to prevent permanent neurological damage.

Genetically modified foods are engineered to produce their own built-in pesticide in every cell. When bugs bite the plant, the poison splits open their stomach and kills them. Biotech companies claim that the pesticide, called Bt—produced from soil bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis—has a history of safe use, since organic farmers and others use Bt bacteria spray for natural insect control. Genetic engineers insert Bt genes into corn and cotton, so the plants do the killing.
The Bt-toxin produced in GM plants, however, is thousands of times more concentrated than natural Bt spray, is designed to be more toxic, has properties of an allergen, and unlike the spray, cannot be washed off the plant.
AAEM states, “Multiple animal studies show significant immune dysregulation,” including increase in cytokines, which are “associated with asthma, allergy, and inflammation”—all on the rise in the US.

Applying this knowledge into your everyday life means that you need to avoid following 8 GM foods, or make sure that they are 100% USDA organic:
 |
| Corn and derivatives is used in just about every shelf product - and if it's not organic it's GMO. In short: it is designed to kill you from within. Yes, the pesticides it produces within does not differ whether you are an insect or human being - it's still a food designed to kill. |
- Soy
- Corn
- Cottonseed
- Canola
- Sugar from sugar beets
- Hawaiian papaya
- Crookneck squash
- Zucchini

Appreciate the recommendation. Will try it out.
